As one of my professors in graduate school said: “Anyone who thinks they have made something completely foolproof has totally underestimated the ingenuity of a complete fool.”
No, I distinctly remember seeing the film in the theater in the summer of 1977 that “Episode IV: A New Hope” did indeed appear in the opening crawl, where the backstory was briefly summarized, and I remember briefly wondering what the heck that was all about. That said, the title of the film was simply “Star Wars”, and remained so until the original trilogy was re-released to theaters in the late 1990s, with updated special effects, ahead of the prequel trilogy, at which point the original films got numbered episodic titles to match the later ones. All that said, I agree that “Rogue One” was easily the strongest of the later Star Wars releases. I’m surprised it hasn’t had its title updated to “episode 3.5”
