Well. I do know when it was Originally released, there was no "Episode IV: A New Hope" in the title crawl. That was added later.

Phht,
Star Trek is much better then Star Wars, you sound like a bunch of children arguing about single Oreo's over double Oreo's, when the rest of the world knows chocolate chip cookies kick ***.
This amuses me, it does.
Sitting at home channel surfing I came across my favorite childhood film "Star Wars." Having watched part of it again, I hereby disavow any and all subsequent star wars movies, including "Empire Strikes Back." Watching Star Wars just highlights the damage that Lucas did to his greatest movie when he decided to make more of them. It would be okay to make bad sequels, but the sequels reach into the original movie and do their best to wreck it. He also tarts it up with all the extra little bits that he put into the scenes, the little alien creatures, the big alien creatures, the alien creatures used for comic relief (why spend all that money to add comic relief to a near perfect movie).
The tale that Luke and leia are brother and sister and that Darth Vader is Luke and Leia's dad is just really silly. It detracts from so much of the original that it makes it almost impossible to watch. I mean, Luke had romantic feelings toward Leia, his sister. See what I mean. And the story that Obi wan told about Lukes dad being betrayed by a Jedi named Vader was much more powerful, in that less than a minute clip than the entire movie series about the fall and redemption of vader.
I have to say that the destruction of the Han Solo character's signature scene in the cantina only irritates more and more as time goes by.
So, I disavow any and all knowledge of any movies other than the original Star Wars, the original, not the directors cut.
Thank you, and good day.

Ken, you and I tend to see eye to eye on most things, but really, here you have lost it completely. One of my poor long suffering workmates made a similar statement a week or two ago, and had to live through a 15 minute diatribe from me on not only exactly how wrong he was, but why, in excruciating detail..... do you really want me to do that here as well??
Star Wars is based in classic mythology, same as LOTR, and is a retelling of the lessons that guide and shape the values of a society. It gives lessons and allegories for the journey through life, the path from youth to adulthood, the twists and turns that we take, the roads travelled both desired and forced, the wealth that such experience can offer, and the truth of choice versus fate.
Star Trek is about how nice is would be if we all got along.

Do you hear me arguing about the ladies?
And, in terms of mythology, no, I'm talking actual classical mythology here, LOTR is based in various Creation Myths, as well as the Hero Myth, and a range of others thrown in along the way. Star Wars is mostly the Hero Myth, but there are other rites of passage aspects thrown in, and the story arc hits the specific points in the correct places in the correct order as well.
And, no, it doesn't have to have some undercurrent as such, but it certainly does give something much greater resonance.... let's face it, Star Wars isn't what it is due to the dialogue or acting!
