I know what people were calling it back in the day; I was one of them. And now it's been re-titled.

The point is not that is was once called something else; the point is that some still call it that. It's a stupid intellectual argument to continue to call it something which it isn't. You may as well say that people "used" to say the world was flat.

 Just because it was officially retitled doesn't mean that people have to mindlessly follow along with the title change. Why should they when they've been calling it something else for years? The flat earth analogy fails because the earth was never flat, it was only something people thought. ANH was originally called Star Wars, rather than Star Wars: A New Hope, so why not continue calling it that?

I bet you'd still call a cannonball (the kind you do at the swimming pool) a cannonball rather than a "tuck-in jump" even though the latter is the "official" term for it.
