There are unpaid fans of the Disney sequels?
Gay and lame chicks
And they've all watched the movies maybe once just to say they did for the inevitable attention-whoring online about how the Force is Female.
Mostly just teen girls that shipped Rey and Kylo Ren.
Yes. Mostly people who just want mindless spectacle and that's it.
Wow they are really missing the point. I was always a big guy (defensive lineman in high school) so I was never physically bullied but got teased for being into Star Wars, Comic Books, sci-fi, gaming, or anything geeky or nerdy. I really miss when it was a niche thing. You had normies who would go see Star Wars but I would bring Heir to the Empire or the OT novelizations to school to read. Anyway the worst thing to happen was for this stuff to become trendy. I know there are fans of sequels but I have trouble believing they were ever Star Wars fans instead of activists or people who enjoy tearing down what others built
I had a friend who made fun of me for being into the OG trilogy, years later after we lost touch, he became woke and suddenly acted like the biggest Star Wars fan ever when the sequel trilogy came out.
Its not about the movies, they just like winning the culture war. I remember when Last Jedi came out, and a bunch of SJWs were saying stuff like "the old movies sucked too! Luke Skywalker was also a Mary Sue!" which to me is them admitting that they never really cared, they just enjoy dominating and ruining everything.
Bingo
That last one should be reversed. It's the fashionable, popular kids who are looking down their noses and laughing smugly at those of us who enjoy what came before they got their fingers into it.
That's a good point.
The last one should say, "everyone" on the right.
Agreed
I hate the sequels like shit, but I don't understand this revisionism where the prequels are suddenly good now? Did we forget about midichlorians? Jar Jar? Anakin's acting? And all the plot threads/characters that required consuming the expanded media to understand?
I rewatched them the other day, the prequels are quite good. You do realize the same people that lied about everything also said the prequels were bad.
I hate the sequels the most, but I still hate the prequels as much as I did when they were new. Phantom Menace especially is just a bore to get through.
I recall liking the first one. Second was exceedingly boring with lots of obvious CG backdrops. Third was alright, mainly for seeing how everything ended up the way it was in Star Wars.
only thing I really enjoyed was the ending of the third movie where like you said everything came together (minus the stupid Darth Vader scream)
None of it is accurate. Not a single panel.
