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?
It's a
politicalspiritual attack against our culture, in this case using Star Wars as a weapon.This goes beyond politics and even culture. The Sequel Trilogy is an attack on heroism itself. It's not just a subversion of Star Wars; it's a subversion of the Hero's Journey itself. The destruction of these cultural icons is an attack on heroism itself. It's their way of striking out against Goodness and the God that is the source of all Goodness.
Until people realize that this is an extension of the same spiritual war that has been going on since the Fall, I don't think that we're going to make any real progress in fighting this.
