were, they look up into the sky and see the Star Destroyer and the

 just people who are getting paid to make things up about SW. Sure,
 everything must be "approved" by people within LFL, but then why do so many
 "approved" sources contradict the movies, and things that come out of the
 creator's, Lucas's own mouth? The truth is, there probably isn't even an
 honest answer in the world to this whole "Hutt" debate, and if there was,
 it would, in the end, make almost no real difference to anything.

     The Klingon Defense Force is planning a bowl-a-thon to raise funds for

Saturday, May 17 at the Ranch Mart Bowling Alley located at 95th and Mission
in Shawnee Kansas.  It is an all species event and should be a lot of fun.
If any one is able to attend, it will begin at 1:00.  The cost is $6.00 and
donations as well as pledges are acceptable.  Why are the Klingons involved
in this?  We don't consider it honorable to torment those unable to defend
themselves.  If any one would like to participate, I can be contacted at
(816)763-6164 or KDF, P.O. Box 46216, Kansas City, MO 64134.  Checks should
be made to Rosebrooks Battered Women's Shelter.  Together we can make a
difference.  Thank you for your consideration.

Ahh... my apologies then.  This whole thread is kind of stupid anyways. =)
What do most people call SW:TESB?  Just plain The Empire Strikes Back...
right?  What do most people call SW:ROTJ?  Just plain Return of the Jedi.
Both of them are TRUELY Star Wars: and then the rest of the title.  So, what
difference does it make if people just call it "Star Wars", or "Star Wars: A
New Hope", or for that matter just "A New Hope"...  doesn't matter.  It's
still the same great movie with any of the above names.
