I’m a huge fan of the OT because it defined much of my childhood. I had many of the action figures. I watched the films in the theater, and had VHS copies after that. So my intense fandom is really centered around the films, not the universe it created. I rebel against EU-like things where people try to come up with more explanation of things. I consider Star Wars more space fantasy and less science fiction. As soon as people start treating it like science fiction I get uncomfortable.
Example: The Millennium Falcon is Han’s ship. I’m good with that. But as soon as you start saying it’s a YT-model whatever Corellian blah blah, I’m done with you.
