I suspect a great many of the fans complaining that the erased happy Ewok dancing are twenty-somethings who have yet to experienced the reality of the world’s differing philosophical beliefs or the lengths those nations and leaders are willing to go to to try and force them on the rest of the planet. That very much includes their censoring the outside world and history from their people. That’s going on daily. Not even remotely a stretch to show it happening in The Force Awakens.

Hm, I was honestly thinking people around 40 years old and above would feel that way. Not ALL of course, but I was thinking those that grew up with the theatrical releases don’t want the few precious moments of their childhood ‘denied’ because of new films saying happy ending for their favorite actors didn’t happen.

I was 10 years old when Revenge of the Sith came out, so when Star Wars ‘ended’, it ended on a rather sad note, but I never felt betrayed by it. I already had some memories of 9/11, and since then, haven’t ever found ‘happy endings’ realistic. This is why I greatly welcome the world of TFA too.

Again, I’m just telling my experience as a 20 year old. I don’t necessarily think its the people that are unaware of worldly things, but rather, a crowd of older people wanting to believe Star Wars from their childhood will always have a fairy tale ending. It’s the few good thing that they can cling onto, but now, maybe they worry and afraid to know this isn’t true anymore.
