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?
This is revisionist nonsense. A lot of people contributed heavily to the original trilogy. George didn’t write, edit, or direct the best parts of it. We attributed way too much of good Star Wars to one man, and this became painfully evident when he had full creative control of the prequels. They are legitimately awful, and this doesn’t magically change just because Disney also screwed up the sequel trilogy.
He was a key part of it. The leader.
