I should mention that YouTuber Thor Skywalker polled his viewers on whether their opinion on the prequels has improved, and more than 60% of them said they never disliked them in the first place. Given the new Star Wars films were made largely to win back those turned off from the franchise by the prequels, it's not surprising that this approach could backfire among this subsection of the Star Wars fanbase.

The problem then is that these fans act like the franchise is entitled to them and only them, which is unbelievably ridiculous and destroys any sympathy I have.. This franchise has been a mainstream phenomenon since its inception, as opposed to something like Star Trek which built up a cult following over time, so this idea of Star Wars being for a relatively small group of people makes no sense to me. The most they can claim is keeping the franchise alive through the popularity of the expanded universe, but even then that doesn't excuse this horrible conduct.

It's like nowadays, if something isn't a masterpiece it's completely terrible, and every single aspect of it must come under heavy criticism. What the heck? I also think the notion that critics praised The Last Jedi just because it aligned with their political views, while not without a tiny amount of basis, is a load of hogwash, and I didn't even like the movie! Though I don't like most newer movies, to be fair.

People complaining about SJWs are such hypocrites when they're just as easily offended, if not moreso.
