That'd be the MythTV taste filter. It waits until a third through the
movie, then decides George Lucas isn't going to get any better at
writing scripts, then bails out. It's a protection mechanism, to stop
you from throwing the remote at your expensive plasma screen.
Try starting MythTV with the --han-shot-first switch to override the
taste filter.
