    I thought the “Episode IV” was always there? I’m talking the early 80s. I’m not exactly young either…

      No, when Star Wars first came out in 1977 and the first home video releases (including the laserdisc transfer that was included with the 2006 DVD release as a bonus feature) it was just Star Wars.

        Ahh yeah. Google tells me it wasn’t until a re-release in 1981 that it was rebranded as Episode IV. You learn something new every day!
