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?
They did his character no favors by having him being defeated in TFA by Rey
Imagine watching a new hope and Luke fighting Vader after a few hours of lightsaber practice and winning the duel. Same thing. Even in empire he put up a good fight but that was after training with yoda and Vader was holding back because he was trying to get Luke over to his side.
Rey is just an insufferable Mary Sue. One of many reasons the sequels were crap.
Exactly
