Ойын-сауық
#StarWars #TheAcolyte #LeslyeHeadland
The Star Wars fanbase is waiting with baited breath for episode 3 of the Acolyte, where Jodie Turner-Smith will be introduced, and she and Amandla Stenberg reportedly will ruin Star Wars for ever!
Leading up to it though, the fans in general, and us KZreadrs in particular, are put on blast by Inverse!

On one side you have a group of quasi-religious zealots with insanely expensive stuff hell-bent on enforcing their ideology upon others, while on the other you have a large population who want nothing to do with them and just want to be left to their own devices.

I've never understood how that was supposed to be either a surprising observation or some kind of criticism. If I watch something I thought MIGHT be interesting and was disappointed, I'd be annoyed for a minute, possibly angry if I had to pay a decent amount of money (it's why I don't go to the theater anymore unless I'm reasonably confident I'll love it), but after that I'll move on and probably forget about the film and whatever franchise it was associated with. If, like Star Wars, it is a franchise I have invested quite of bit of time, money, and interest into, I'm going to be livid if something is not up to par and absolutely outraged if it damages other parts of the universe besides itself. It's why the sequel trilogy made me so angry. However, I have by now gotten to the point where I don't really care anymore. It's not Star Wars to me. I'll check out some old stuff I didn't already own, but that's about it. Disney has given me every reason to pretend that anything made after they bought it doesn't exist (I'd even give up the few Disney-made things I actually liked if it would result in Star Wars not being run into the ground).

I love how they keep blaming the fans for their decision to intentionally make things they know their fanbase isn't going to like. I'm tired of being gaslit for not liking their change of direction. The Mandalorian, Rogue One, and Andor had diverse casting as well, and were well received. The problem stems from them making it more important than their storytelling, and how every male is incompetent without a strong female to rescue him. Men are simple creatures, we like characters that are idealized versions of what we want to be.

When I was a kid forty years ago before the Disney Renaissance there was an actual chance Disney was going to go bankrupt and get broken up. To think I might see that scenario play out again in my lifetime. History really does repeat. Oh well till then I'll just sit here and watch the OG UNALTERED Trilogy and ignore the rest, apathy is a wonderful thing.

I guess if it was the fans who ruined Star Wars it was probably the ones who were taking about how Anakin blew up the Death Star! And maybe the ones who hired those “fans”…
Wait, how can someone else not liking what you like ruin it for you? Someone else not liking the masterpiece that is The Stargate(the movie with Kurt Russell) doesn't make it any less magnificent for me.

Funny how they claim that us "toxic fans" is strictly against all forms of diversity, yet absolutely no one (Not that I've heard) complained about Mace Windu being one of the most powerful and significant jedi's.

Calling the people you disagree with part of a minority (voice) is usually the strategy of someone who's losing, and knows it.

From one accountant to another, your analysis is always spot on.
People don't hate Star Wars as much as what Disney has done to Star Wars. There's a big difference between the two that they fail to distinguish between. There's a pretty sizable portion of the fanbase who still enjoy the classic movies and are willing to buy the merchandise based on the classic films. The idea that you have to like everything because you're a fan of the franchise is non-sensical. That's brand loyalty and brand loyalists are not the same as fans. Your brand loyalists will stick with you no matter how much you change because they care about everything that has that name attached to it. In this case, Star Wars. But, your fans will leave if your franchise changes. One of the most interesting case studies is Final Fantasy because of the sheer amount of documentaries they put out for the development of each game and you can see how everything fell apart starting from Final Fantasy 13.

@@OriginalDrGonzo I wouldn't even consider 14 as great because of what it cost Square Enix to prop it up for almost a decade. It didn't officially start turning a profit until late into Stormblood's life cycle. By that point, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos, and Luminous had all been cannibalized by it and cost them an estimated $1.5 billion across just those three (mostly Eidos's profits). If you factor in the additional money they spent in the meantime to keep 14 going, they might've been better off just letting it crash and burn and diverting their attention elsewhere.
