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

I have, on my bookshelf, a copy of the novelisation of the first film, published in 1977 and written by George Lucas. As a child, the second and third were repeated on TV a lot but I never saw the first one, so I grabbed the book when I saw it.

I was confused by a lot of the uproar around the restored scenes in the remastered ones, because things like the scene with Jabba were in the novelisation.

The title of the book is:

Star Wars: From the adventures of Luke Skywalker.

@david_chisnall @scalzi Based on the name I thought there must be other books in The Adventures of Luke Skywalker series, and was quite disappointed to find there weren’t any. The Star Wars books that came along later weren’t the same.
