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.

I’m 23 and grew up referring to even the OT as the episode numbers. I was a kid so I didn’t know better. It also made more sense to me for placing them in with the prequels, which I used to love. I have now seen the error of my ways, but I can accept the idea that you’re catching up in the middle of the story with Star Wars. If the only issue with an official OUT release was the 81 crawl (or hell, even the 97 crawl) then I really wouldn’t be in an uproar about it, especially since this community exists and would create a replacement version within a matter of days.
