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 heck, I'll go a step further.

If you did not see Star Wars in the movie theater in 1977, then you are either an incurious luddite or a fetus. In either case, I don't have time for you.

@johnhattan @scalzi
For all practical purposes it was only released in UK cinemas in 1978...

As a young child, that was an amazing experience. I remember my jaw dropping with the opening space battle scenes, I'd never seen anything like it.

@MostlyTato @HighlandLawyer @scalzi I remember our local theater in Sherwood Arkansas was playing "Star Wars" and "Starship Invasions" on the opening weekend.

Guess which one my little brother wanted to see.

I still tease him about it.
