I think a lot of Star Wars fans online are very insecure or have persecution complexes about which films they like. Many of them don’t handle criticism well. When someone else says something negative about their preferred film or show or trilogy, they’re unable to just say “Fine, whatever” and move on. They take it personally and go out of their way to make those more critical perspectives seem unwelcome, as though they’re afraid it will “ruin the fun” for them. Every fandom has that problem to some degree, but it seems to be especially bad with Star Wars.
This right here. I had written something up recently about issues in fandom and this was one of the major points.
