As someone who watched it as a kid when it first came out, you’re correct that the title of the first movie was “Star Wars”. Also neither of the next two movie had “Episode” in their titles originally. However adding the extra in later helps when discussing the timeline with someone who hasn’t grown up with the franchise. Title changes are the least of the remastered problems with these movies, and I think came from the same era of Lucas thinking he could CGI everything and make it better.
Depends on when you watched it, I guess. Initially it was Star Wars, but he NEEDED us to know it was not the beginning of the story. I still call it Star Wars
Andor was like this. The Imperials in the series feel genuinely threatening because they’re not delusional buffoons, they’re competent and have distinct goals.
I doubt Disney will produce a lot more content like Andor - it’s a bit dark, and frankly won’t sell a lot of merch to families.
Tarantino almost made a Star Trek movie. And it was supposedly going to be a remake of Yesterday’s Enterprise. I still don’t know what to think about that.
So many people call it A New Hope.
Because that’s the title of all subsequent altered versions of the movie.
And in my unpopular opinion, that’s not the title.

Your opinion is wrong.
Seems like I’m in the right community in that case.

unpopular opinions are too easy
if people agree they upvote, if not that means that it’s an unpopular opinion and they upvote (generally)
Unpopular Opinion: Murder is the coolest!
I don’t understand why you’re in c/unpopularopinion.

I just want an adult Star Wars for adults. Like get Lars Von Trier to do a miniseries.

I felt like Andor approached that.
Interesting, a couple of you are saying that - I’ll give it a try.
I am also saying it. Andor is a gritty spy drama for the grownups the original star wars fans grew up to be.
I always thought Tarantino would have been great for Star Wars. He is such a movie nerd, I feel like he would get it.

I’d totally be up for that too
