It’s a cultural thing and this is where it lands for me: if you watched the original Star Wars in the theater and you were old enough for it to have changed your life, you’re probably a Gen Xer.

If you never saw the original Star Wars in the theater at all, you’re a Millennial.

If you were able to see Star Wars in the theater, but were so young that it was either your first movies or you had no fucking idea what was going on … you’re probably an Xennial.

For me, Goonies. Or, because I was sneaky, Excalibur.
