It was always for kids really. It's a simple good vs evil story when you look at just the films. The shows are basically children's cartoons. The merchandise is mostly children's toys etc...

People never had a problem with "Star Wars is for kids" until Lucas used it as an excuse for Jar Jar.

That's why people get so mad when people point it out, because it was used to defend a hated character.

It always had themes that adults could enjoy and themes that children could enjoy at the same time.

News flash, Star Wars has always been for the entire family and Disney has nothing to do with the creative side of the series.

George Lucas stated that he made Star Wars with the intent to sell merchandise and toys with it. thinking it was meant for adults is neckbeard-tier

Star Wars was always for young audiences / general audiences. Your "totally canon" novels and video games were all that were made exclusively for adults.

As for comic book heroes, their target audience has shifted a bit.

What gets me about this topic is that nobody seems to realize TC was mocking those who don't realize it was always for kids. That's certainly how it seems to me.

Bro, did you not watch the Clone wars cartoon? Every other episode was someone being stabbed, beheaded, or just plain getting fucked up in general.

Star Wars was always for families, imho. The OT speaks in multiple registers at the same time and balances them very well. The PT, on the other hand, tries (and fails) to achieve a satisfying balance by swinging wildly between fart jokes and immolation.
