      Someone downvoted you for that opinion. I don’t even know where the stereotype comes from. Every star wars fan I’ve seen just wants to talk about Star wars. They’re not toxic or anything in my experience, they’re just really into star wars.

      Sure, it kind of goes with the characterisation. Most ex-Star Wars fans are a sour lot though. Why can’t they just accept that one era is over and the franchise is in a different place. Sure I’m sad that the style of Star Wars I grew up with is not only over, but actively being dismantled. But that’s been going on for close to 30 years.

      It’s a simple fix for grown-ups: There hasn’t been any Star Wars movies made since the 80’s. And if you subjectively disagree, you’re objectively wrong as per any fandom law.

        People have hope and heart for Star Wars … hope that got rekindled by a spark here and there like Andor and The Mandalorian’s early seasons. So the fans get pulled back in.

        But soon after Disney brings pain again, and it is always on purpose, usually from very bad writing that should not have seen the green light, and lousy planning.

    Blame the mouse and his focus groups, not fans who are upset with their beloved franchise getting skull fucked.
