Star Wars
This happened to all the ols school Star Wars fans. Disney created the "idiot fans"
All of the more recent Star Wars slop has made me realize that the original films aren't really that good either.
Bite your tongue. Like a lot of things from the past, they need to be viewed in context
I mean they are objectively poor in a lot of ways, but you're spot on. At the time they were fricking mind blowing. Space opera/space cowboys on the big screen! Before that we had what? 2001 and star trek?
Yeah any decent sci-fi before Star Wars was heady with little action. Logans Run, Silent Running. Also in my mind I saw sequels in general change from shameless cash grab to better attempts
I keep getting people telling me they won't watch Andor because of the other slop and it makes me sad
thats me rn
Yup. Was a huge fan of the EU books and lore. Wanted to give Disney a chance, so I saw the first few movies. It was like seeing your ex at the club but she'd gone through massive amounts of plastic surgery and they'd removed all the unique features that attracted you originally. Haven't watched anything Star Wars since the second movie in the new trilogy, literally 0 desire to see the conclusion or any new Star wars content.
I thought the force awakens was pretty decent. I mean it's literally just a new hope redux.
It wasn't a bad movie, the characters were just incredibly forgettable. Rogue One was a good standalone movie, but it was kinda bittersweet because they stole part of Kyle Katarn's backstory and he was always one of my favorite characters.
Yea, Disney swore off all of the EU books stating they had no place in Star Wars. Then they started stealing portions of the EU books and basically making bad fanatic versions of them.
Old school Star Wars fans harassed the actor who played jar jar to the point that he considered suicide...
