You mean the 14k BASIC program called "Star Wars"?
Some of its first lines are:

 100  REM ///     STAR WARS
 110  REM ///
 120  REM ///A ROLE-PLAYING GAME
 130  REM /// (C) COPYRIGHT 1979
 140  REM ///  BY DONALD BROWN

There's also a nearly identical version by someone by the name "John
Frontuto" whom I suspect to have it blatantly relabeled ;-)
