This is how old I am: I will NEVER call the first Star Wars film "A New Hope," get your bullshit retcon away from me, it is and always shall be Star Wars, forever and ever amen
my partner is younger than I am and watches it in "machete order": 4, 5, 2, 3, 6.
...there's a slice of people who will just say "4" instead of "star wars" or "a new hope". at least that's unambiguous, they talked about it being "4" when it was first released.
