One of my many nerd groups I’m is is one for pre-Disney Star Wars fans which is mainly an EU group and we were talking about how all these shill sites have so many good things to say about the EU now when I can remember them talking about how bad it was when Disney took over. Honestly that was my first awareness of the shill media because nerd sites who were pretty positive about the EU all of a sudden started crapping on it once Disney got rid of it.
Some of the guys see this as a positive sign but I guess I’m cynical because I think they just realize that the sequels and a lot of Disney Star Wars isn’t as popular as they want us to believe. Plus I hear the OT toys still sell pretty well.
So what do y’all think? Is this a positive sign or am I right to be cynical?
I never really followed the EU but the prequels especially got a Media Makeover once Disney bought it. All of a sudden there was lots of press about how they weren't that bad and were actually good. It was pretty disgusting.
I always liked the prequels but I can understand why some didn’t like them. I do think compared to the sequels they look much better. Plus they were made by someone who doesn’t hate Star Wars.
