And please stop with the little backhanded comments 'I think we can get over that now' concerning SW being called A New Hope. Nobody I know calls it 'A New Hope' as its always been called Star Wars by the majority of the fanbase that grew up with it. ;)
It wasn't a backhanded comment. The inisistence on calling something by its old title when it was renamed over thirty years ago seems to me plain stupid. That's not backhanded; it's as direct as you can get.
You're certainly lucky to be in the company of so many fans of your generation; I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of Star Wars fans from back in the day with whom I remain in touch. One of them has said he'll take his boy to see the new film, the others (and they're dads, too) aren't bothered one way or the other.
