    My brother and I swear that on opening night of ESB, back in May that the title Star Wars appears and then blow up and then the ESB title appeared. Any other old timers recall this? I know the trailer had the title blowing up and Vader's head appearing but I swear that just on the opening night (or week) the title Star Wars blow up and it said ESB. Could we both be wrong?

    You really shouldn't watch films while under the influence. ;)

    Are you thinking of one of the trailers, maybe? I think the ESB SE trailer had something like that.

    Now that you mention it, I seem to recall a trailer like that.

    My memory, although often faulty, is solid on this fact: nothing of the sort happened.

    Possibly a trailer, certainly not a part of the film.

    Perhaps you're confusing the ESB memory with the opening sequence of another movie?

    This is something from the Special Edition trailers/commercials.

    You can find an animated .gif of the sequence here (look for the link to view trilogy.gif).

    Yeah the old trailers had the logo exploding (as Vader's helmet appeared faintly in space).

    They also had logos exploding in the promo for the 91 VHS release for the Trilogy & From Star Wars To Jedi.

    EDIT- Here's the old ESB trailer you're probably thinking of:
