I wouldn't say either fan base is great, although I guess the comparison holds in terms of which is better in terms of behavior.
I used to take issue with the popular conception in some circles of geeks as reactionary; thinking it was all made up and it was only jocks who were reactionary. I think stuff like the reaction Kelly Marie Tran got really changed my mind and that perhaps I was wrong to conclude that problems didn't exist. Looking back I can see signs of it. I'm also not really anti-jock; I've decided I'm simply too old for this shit.
Also the most market hyped. I thought LOTR was gonna compare for a while then GOT but nobody's got the money flowing into the base like SW does.
Had your Murtaugh moment did you? Welcome to the club.
The Book of Boba Fett is Mando Season 2.5 I was unaware this was billed differently.
i feel like the sequel trilogy was really interesting to watch from the perspective of anthropology. Im pretty sure if there is a distant future where human culture is studied the star wars movie franchise will be a thing a person can write about to get a phd for. Hell you could probably do it now, but not for the same reasons. But like youve got three movies that take place in the middle of a thing and those three movies stand alone for over two decades, so of course whatever they came out with was not going to be as good to people as the two decades of fanfic they had come up with for themselves. So the prequel movies dont do as well as the originals did, while at the same time being an entire new generations first exposure to it, like many children grow up seeing the movies in order of episode number, rather than by release date. (there's a point to be made about the tonal diffrences matching the times in which they came out, but thats for another time)So when they come back to make the sequel trilogy, they say, we wont make the same mistakes again, so they alientate the new generation by making essentially a cinematic homage to episode four with no in cannon reasons, not to mention alienating the existing fanbase by basically telling them their fanfics and zines dont count outside of Star Wars Tales or specific movie tie ins...and over rely on a very aged cast who should have been cameos to pass the torch at best(Han Solo died for these sins, and wow so did Carrie Fischer I guess. Like a hard reboot is what you do when your computer freezes, you cant treat the Galactic Empire like your 96 Dell computer. You cant just reboot that shit off screen. That should have been our sequal trilogy if you knew you were making star wars forever, but i digress. The last Jedi almost turned it around for me, that seemed like it was gonna show some galactic nuance and focus on some other family other than the starwars kardashians. I am so sick of that damned family and their stupid hijinx. everything in the galaxy centers around the same 20 people. I want a damned season of Max Reebo Sy Snootles and Droopy McCool. I want a gritty noir detective series where a bounty hunter is chasing the Anzati serial killer across the outer rim. I wanted to see Rogue Squadron fighting the Imperial Remnant after the Emperor died but it was still largely business as usual in the empire, Corran Horn and Fucking Luke Skywalker taking the Jedi back to what they were pre old republic before the Sith split off after meeting the Sith, back when Jedi can and did fuck, and fuck they did, like rabbits they were, not just because nerd authors are horny, but because the only true way to be the guardians of peace and justice in the republic is to be sex positive. but there was soooo much we could have had, and what we got, was just almost a greek tragedy's worth of hubris and mishandling from damned near everyone as far as I can tell, and seemingly all for the sake of making money over movies.
I haven't seen very much of that show, but it's my understanding that the old Indy was actually removed from video releases back when Lucas was in charge, perhaps because he planned to do an old Indy movie of his own.
Yeah I feel like it was a bad death for Han Solo, It really did kinda kill star wars for me last jedi got me back, but then. that other movie happened to me and I'm just. Theyre on thin ice in my mind palace.
The force ghost was barely a redeption, but it made me less mad because it validates han solo being force sensetive with was a long time theory in the old eu
