Idk why people are so obsessed with star wars. It was a sci-fi trilogy from the 70s. It's not some permanent and everlasting monolith we must adhere to for eternity.
It is a fun setting that had a lot of passion behind it. It was the original trilogy that was a big hit but it also spawned a ton of books and some great games.
KOTOR 1 &2 and Jedi Outcast and Academy are great.
It is not just the movies but all the passion and love from fans that made it great. People don't realize that the original trilogy, while a very nice movie the plot itself is not some masterpiece.
Then somehow, because there was this great passion behind it normies became "fans", they did not know characters, did not read any books, did not play the games, some times they did not even watch the original movies but they did have several SW T-shirts and a mug.
Disney had a great opportunity to make an epic series that would have remained in history, but they didn't, they made trash. And we are here now.
In truth, very few of us older fans still care, I don't, Smith1980 still does and hopes we will get some cool EU story or some old republic trilogy. I don't care but I do want Disney to be held accountable for ruining a hobby that I cared about.
Always has sentimental value for me since it was my first “nerd interest growing up”. I still read the old books but no longer have Disney plus so don’t follow it. As for sci-fi books I love the golden age.

I get it. I liked Star wars as a kid too. But it's weird when adults are so attached to it.
I am not happy with Disney ofc. Pretty sad they deface everything.
I read a ton of books now but certain things I’ll always have a fondness for
