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
@scalzi My kids honed their eye rolling skills on their parents’ insistence that, “watching the Star Wars movies in order,” means that we start with “Star Wars”.

@pirateguillermo @scalzi

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.
