Opening Crawl
Is the Opening Crawl Image really necessary. I think it just wastes space and increases loading space. The crawl is better in just plain text.

Added Stuff
I've added a few pictures and rewritten only a few poorly-written sentences. There's more to be done! --Hollis 11:20 CT, 28 Sep 2005

From Star Wars to Episode IV
Here's an idea on one way this article can be improved. The poster in this article just has the words "Star Wars" on it. Are there pictures of any posters that say "Star Wars, Episode IV, A New Hope" on them? Double D 14:23, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * There are, but I think we should have the original theatrical posters for each movie. --Master Starkeiller 14:38, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Why not center?
MarcK, why does the DVD cover "belongs" to the right? It looks much better in the center. --Master Starkeiller 18:51, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * You think it looks much better in the center. The custom for all images is to put them on either side; in the center it takes up way too much space and generally looks untidy. MarcK 22:37, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the DVD release has to stand out from the rest of the images just like the release poster has. --Master Starkeiller 10:08, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks ridiculous in the center. The only reason it still doesn't look great on the right is becasue there is not much written for it. Hollis 00:14, 12 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I see your point. But if so little is written for it, it looks even more ridiculous on the right. Any extra info we could add? --Master Starkeiller 11:36, 12 Oct 2005 (UTC)

AAAAAHHHHH
SOMEONE ERASED THE WHOLE THING! PUT IT BACK!
 * Yes, it appears to have been started when you blanked the article for the text "-pwned--". So thanks for that. --SparqMan 02:28, 12 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Early wide surround sound?
All 70mm releases before Star Wars were in surround sound. That's a lot more than just Cinerama and CinemaScope magnetic prints.

Antilles issues
Empire at War strongly indicates Raymus Antilles is both the Captain in ROTS and in ANH. However, Chronicles, the Prequels, indicates Raymus is the dude in ROTS only, and the Cpt Antilles in ANH is his SON, Colton Antilles. This is EU canon vs. EU canon, so which is right? I feel this deserves to be taken to Leland Chee.JustinGann 09:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Errors error
The mention of Han and Luke running up and down ladders, then appearing to be at opposite ends of a corridor is not an error, but is perfectly plausable in the context of a zero gravity environment.

The two gunners towers may well have offset gravity generators to make it more comfortable for the gunners.

I've deleted it.

DELETED TEXT:

"*When Luke and Han Solo are preparing to shoot down the TIE fighters Luke starts by going down a ladder. Han going up, but when Luke finally hits a TIE fighter he turns and looks at Han as if it is a big long hallway that is seperating them."

Re-releases

 * I believe the DVD release should be moved under the Re-releases section. Is there a reason it is kept seperate? 22:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

did obiwan know of boba
that he was in the spaceport just minutes before he enters?

Some past edits
Can someone check in history if the anon edits by address 155.8.89.2 can be justified or it was simply vandalism? He has removed contributions I added twice MoffRebus 14:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

The Irony
When George Lucas first made Star Wars Episode IV, his goal was to make a happy-go-lucky Sci-Fi tale. But the Star Wars universe has ironically grown to become tragic and complicated. Anyone agree? user:Darth Vatrir
 * I do, that's for sure. Wha he started also became a universe in and amung itself. --Jabbathehuttgartogg 07:25, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * A Hero's Journey works well if it includes tragedy. What about Empire? It's the natural continuation of the story as set up in ANH. You can't just keep having happy endings, else there'd be no suspense - Kwenn 09:29, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Trivia addition
This was added recently to the Trivia section.
 * *Despite all its profanity, gore, and killing, it was rated PG. After Revenge of the Sith was rated PG-13 Lucas had all the films in the saga re-rated. The movie received another PG rating.

Is this accurate? Don't see how he got all the movies re-rated unless they were re-released to theaters. -Finlayson 21:14, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm curious as to the inclusion of "hell" as profanity. And I know "damn" was considered profanity when they filmed Gone With the Wind but in '77? Or are there just some overly uptight people defining the language? 211.28.236.220 12:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I was mainly asking about getting movies re-reated. Also, the profanity, gore, and killing is not all that frequent as is implied in my opnion.  The dead bodies on Tatooine is only gory thing I can think of.  -Finlayson 14:47, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that line needs to be changed, as it is not npov. Timifer 16:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea, doesn't seem neutral POV. I removed the 'Despite all its profanity, gore, and killing' part.  Don't think there much of that anyway. -Finlayson 18:25, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
