To celebrate the 50th anniversary next years they are releasing a “restored” version of the non special edition of Star Wars (at least that I how I read it).
I am guess it won’t have the original audio where Mark Hamill calls Leia “Carrie”.
Other celebratory things also happening throughout the year. More info here:
It’s so refreshing to have the title back to just two words.
I agree that Mark won’t call Leia “Carrie,” but does Han shoot first?
The way I read it this is not the Special Edition.
He’d better!
Hey, LucasFilm: there re enough of us olde fartes still around that remember ALL the changes, starting with the 1980 re-release, not just Greedo and Jabba.
That’s the best of all the Star Wars films.
According to Mark Hamill, that never happened.
No matter how often this is debunked-it still comes back. The entire scene was dubbed. I said “There she…”- as in “There she (is)” when I saw her. George would never have allowed me to say “Carrie” even if I wanted to as a joke, which I didn’t. It makes no sense
I believe him. I don’t think he says Carrie.
I heard it with my own ears. In the 90s I went to a charity screening of the original trilogy (long before the special editions) and the print of Star Wars was an original one. You can tell because it didn’t have the extra audio of 3P0 explaining the tractor beam on the Death Star (which was added later but also before the special edition). And at the end when Luke gets out of the X wing and the rest are running over he yelled “Carrie!” very clearly and unambiguously. Lucas must have changed it very early on to make the audio just “Heyargh” like it sounds now to fix the mistake but in that print he said it clear as day.
Then, did you go watch the alternate ending of Big? 
I must have seen the original print in the theater 10 times and I never heard “Carrie”. In fact, I only heard the rumors of it after the rereleases came out.
I knew word for word that would be the first response 
but I am telling the truth. Is it really that hard to believe that George Lucas, of all filmmakers, wouldn’t go back to make adjustments to his movie? He added “Episode IV” to the crawl after he initial screenings and the aforementioned CP0 dialogue.
Also while I since lost track of the link to the post, I wrote a post about my experience of seeing them on the big screen (a rare thing back then) the next day on rec.arts.sf.starwars and I mentioned my surprise at hearing “Carrie!”
Wrong. EP IV was added in 1980. True, it was technically after the original screeningss. Three years after.
You were on the internet in 1977?
I recommend taking your closest millenial or Gen-z with you to this and pointing out every change to them throughout the movie so they can roll their eyes and say “OMG, y’all are way too into this.”
No like I said it was in the 1990s at a charity screening of the original trilogy. 1994 to be exact (I said 1993 in an earlier post but it was January of 1994)).
1981, actually. Episode V on the credits of Empire predate Episode IV being added to Star Wars.
When I was in high school, my friend’s little brother watched the Star Wars movie every single day over one summer. Every. Single. Day. He had the alien dialogue spoken by the door droid at Jabba’s palace memorized. He was the first person I know who noticed the Storm Trooper banging his head on the door in the first movie. If Luke had yelled “Carrie” I’m pretty sure he would have mentioned it.
I didn’t hear ‘Carrie.’ I always thought it was just an excited: “HEY!!”
when I was told it was “Carrie!” I could understand the confusion, but it still sounds more like “HEY!” to me.
I saw it originally in theaters back then, but don’t remember the scene specifically at that time. I only became aware of it through internet lore in the early 2000’s
For the record here is a list of changes that have been made to Star Wars (1977) BEFORE the release of The Special Edition in 1997:

The audio was changed. This was a known issue in the movie back in the day, Lucas has no issue with tinkering with movie and it would have been simple for him to redo the audio for future prints and I heard it with my own ears. I am not going to harp on it anymore.
Anyway it will be nice to see a non special edition on a big screen.
