Via the Google USENET archive announcement, [1] First mention of Star Wars
Episode 6, June 1982 [2] 

Ah, innocent youth … if you only knew then that it would be another 16 years
before George would film another installment, and that it would have a
character more annoying than an entire race in the third film … 

But I remember the hype back then. Nine films in total; a trilogy of
trilogies if you will, with only two characters making all nine (R2-D2 and C-
3PO). But alas … 

Oh, and the answer to the trivia question on the first mention of Episode 6
of Star Wars: A New Hope.
