Why is the title in the DB "Star Wars: Original Trilogy"  Am I missing the words "Original Trilogy" on the cover?

Original Trilogy should not be in the database as it is not on the front cover anywhere.

If I was to do it... I would probably say it should be something like...

Star Wars IV: A New Hope / Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back / Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi

And yes I realize that "Star Wars" is not on the cover more then once. But I believe this would be no different then how Ken ruled for the one S to be used for more then one word on Nude Nuns with Guns... Where the design of the packaging is meant that the large Star Wars is mean for all 3 titles... no different then the "S" was meant for more then one word of that title.

Strictly by the rules, I would say...

Star Wars: IV: A New Hope / V: The Empire Strikes Back / VI: Return of the Jedi

Really Martian... you think the Nude Nuns with Guns decision by Ken wouldn't apply here as well?

It could, though I don't know that the extra 'Star Wars' is needed as the 'S' was for Nude Nuns.

I don't know... I think it would be needed personally... but see where you are coming from and respect your thoughts on it.

I assume this is a box set so I would do it like:
------ Star Wars
  |
  ----- Episode IV - A New Hope
  |
  ----- Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
  |
  ----- Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

Of course it wouldn't be contributable.

I agree with this because the IV, V and VI are there.

So is the (R), so if we have to get it all let's get it all.

You've got good eyes!

I still haven't figured out how to convert the Darth Vader symbol though.

I think either:

Star Wars IV: A New Hope / Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back / Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi

or

Star Wars: IV: A New Hope / V: The Empire Strikes Back / VI: Return of the Jedi

is acceptable, by the Rules. I also think once it's in, since either is not *against* the Rules, changing it would be incorrect.
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong
