Wow, alot of salty comments about Star Wars in general in this thread 😬
End of the day its a good time to be a Star Wars fan if your able to embrace the new.

“We are what they grow beyond” - Yoda 😉

It’s a problem if the new isn’t good.

Exactly. I know that the Star Wars fandom has a serious toxicity problem, but some fans recently have been going the polar opposite direction: Acting like Star Wars is a perfect flawless franchise and everyone who criticizes it is a toxic hater. Every franchise has flaws, especially Star Wars, and this mindless “enjoy everything with the Star Wars logo on it” mindset really isn’t healthy.

For example, I like The Last Jedi a lot more than most of the fandom, but I would never try to stop people from criticizing it (unless they were being an ass about it). Similarly, I dislike Rogue One a lot more than most of the fandom, but I would never try to stop people from praising it. Is it really that hard to just let opinions exist without trying to convince people that your opinion is the only objectively correct one?

Exactly, this isn’t an Oscar movie, it’s not supposed to be The Godfather, or anything like that, it’s just Star Wars. It’s like kids playing outside with their Star Wars toys, it’s supposed to be mindless fun, not a serious drama with a perfect script

I think they did a good job, could it have been better, sure. I think the fan base is split on this one, but don’t take it so serious, it’s supposed to be a space western with familiar characters that we love and know.

Yes, Star Wars won Oscars back then, I was just trying to get my point across.
