Wow, this whole generational issue must be a much bigger deal in the US. I feel justified in going back to the already off topic numbering convo, because it’s so much more on topic than the last page. I’m 25 and I never got the saga numbering. When I was a kid I ignored it, it annoyed me when I was a teen and it just baffles me now. It’s a tonally unnecessary effort to reverse engineer some cohesion between two tonally incompatible trilogies. We didn’t need the numbers to understand the chronology and no-one I know refers to them by number. Now you can see why they like it because LucasFilm can refer to episode IX even though it doesn’t have a name, and it can be hyped in the press. But I have to say the only fan edit I would accept on a restoration would be to take the V and VI out of the Empire/Jedi crawls.
