The last execution by guillotine in France happened while Star Wars A New Hope was already in theaters.
It was just called "Star Wars."
I love it that I can find my people so easily.
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.
Execution happened September 10th, 1977. Starwars was released May 25, 1977 (in the US.)
I just checked. Crazy.
Thanks for reaffirming.
The execution happened in September 1977, whereas Star Wars released in May of the same year
Jeah, I just checked bit too. Thanks for reaffirming.
That is just crazy. Imaging being the last one :D
Username checked out
And Christoffer Lee (Saruman) was at the execution!
He was at the last public excecution which happened in 1939, after this one they were still done but not publicly
I stand corrected.
Christopher Lee?
Autocorrect lol
