Was it ever not called The Empire Strikes Back?

This is still the correct title.

Deal with it.

It's even literally on the poster "Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back"

I was wondering why i kept getting inconsistencies in my kodi app with these movies

How does it make sense to pull the "Star Wars: Episode * " From episodes 4 - 6, Star Wars Episode 4 isn't even referred to as A New Hope in the title anymore

someone please fix it

Movies actually do have a specific title that they use when submitting to national film registries and the like. For the Star Wars series, I believe it goes something like:

• Star Wars
• The Empire Strikes Back
• Return of the Jedi
• Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
• Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
• Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
• Star Wars: The Force Awakens
• Star Wars: The Last Jedi
• Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

We're all free to refer to them the way we prefer, but if we're being super technical about it The Empire Strikes Back is the most "official" title for the movie.

Edit: I just checked and this site is indeed conforming to exactly the way I have it above. They're probably going by how they're listed with the MPAA or something.

Lucas said its called this.
