you're omitting "the" when using capitalized nouns. except when prepending "new"

in a way, I understand that the function of "the" is some kind of emphasis (or something). The answer you seek is not syntactic, but semantic.

I liked the movie... But which one?

I liked Movie-Title. Now there's no doubt which one was it.

My point is that to say "I installed THE python 3" could be understood as a sort of emphasis... I installed THE python 3 could signal (in the appropriate context) that you did not install python 3 from the conda foundation but the one from THE PSF (this is a shoddy example, but this is a random comment on the internet)

I watched Star Wars. I watched THE ('complete', or 'original', or 'new') Star Wars trilogy

AFAIK, you don't need "complete" or "new" here, "the Star Wars trilogy" is fine. It's "the Title/Name something".
