Pet peeve: people saying "A New Hope" when referring to the original 1977 film, which was actually called "Star Wars", dammit.

Pet peeve: people saying "A New Hope" when referring to the original 1977 film, which was actually called "Star Wars", dammit.
- tombert 2y agoAbout 15 years ago, I was at a Goodwill store, looking around, and saw a VHS of of Star Wars. It wasn't "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope", it was just called "Star Wars". I knew that that was how it was released, even at the time, but I had thought that by the time it was released on VHS that it would have adopted the new branding. I told my dad about it when I got home, and he was comparably surprised. I didn't (and don't) have a VCR, so I didn't pick it up, but a small part of me wishes I had just as an interesting thing to put on my shelf.
