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.

 That's a horrible analogy (no offense intended). The world was never flat, people only thought that it was. Star Wars was titled and referred to as Star Wars for 20 years, so why should you decide that no one is allowed to call it that anymore just because it's now advertised as "A New Hope"?

Furthermore, if I want to say that the world is flat, I have the right to do so. Nobody's going to stop me. Also, what I call a movie isn't an "intellectual argument", it's a choice of words.
