The last execution by guillotine in France happened while Star Wars A New Hope was already in theaters.

    It was just called "Star Wars."

    Yeah, I remember seeing it titled A New Hope, and asking "When did that happen? That wasn't there from the start, right? I couldn't have missed that."

    Turns out I was right, it was some later interpolation. Lucas doesn't know to leave well enough alone.

    No way. Prove it!

    Edit: looked it up myself. It is true, everything is true. Can't believe it.

    And Christoffer Lee (Saruman) was at the execution!
