The series isn't good.

Most of the movies are ass aside from the OT.

The current disney shows are ass.

But people still insist the franchise is worth it.

That is solely because of obligation rather than actually enjoying it.

What shitty show/movie will Disney churn out next?

Gundam is just way better to me. It's like a mix of Trek and Wars in some ways

Nah, I like the sequels, and the first season of Mando was fun. I also don't watch the stuff that I don't care about.

Ep 1-6 for me. Also like a couple things like Mandalorian and Rogue One.

I really enjoy a lot of the EU/legends though. And I consider a lot of that canon over all the Disney stuff.

I'm sure it's that way with a segment of fans. Most still genuinely like SW for whatever reason. Personally, I think I'm pretty much done with SW though. I'll just stick with the OT.

Never thought of it that way, but yeah. And like with SW, I liked it better when the force/newtype abilities/powers were relatively more subtle and less outright space magic.

IP has been mostly dogshit for a while but people can't let go of it because of nostalgia or whatever childish reasons.

I will say I admittingly watched the later 2 sequels thinking it would be good but that's enough exposure to know Disney fucking sucks and things will never be as good as the original movies under the current umbrella so I'm done with it.

There was too much hype over an incomplete thing that was marketed as a technically complete thing

This is generally for people who grew up knowing the idea behind why star wars is presented the way it is

Even if not aimed for a child, it's still taken way too fucking seriously. Star Wars fandom is one of the 3 fandoms out there that hates it's product but can't stop fucking watching it.

OT isn't even that good anymore after Lucas edited them to shove as much out of place CGI in them as possible.

The impossible to find true originals are the only good Star Wars

Are you one of those people who thinks Empire is the worst movie in the series because it's the most "boring" and least action-packed, despite actually being the best?

Anyone ever see that animated movie The Last Unicorn? Count Dooku actor Christopher Lee voices King Haggard in it. Anyway, there's a skeleton who drinks from an empty bottle because it makes him remember what it felt like to taste wine. That guy would be a Star Wars fan for sure.

By "modern" do you mean Star Wars movies released in the 80's? Because I mostly agree. Return of the Jedi wasn't as good as Star Wars.

It was the most inconsistent of the OT. The highest highs and lowest lows.

It was like The Dark Knight Rises. Lots of triumphant moments ("...then perhaps she will") surrounded by clumsy, boring ones.

Im afraid I cant agree with you there. I see absolutely no redeeming qualities in The Dark Knight Rises.

I've liked a lot of it, Mandalorian and Rogue One were very good. The more books I read, the more I discover how many douchey Jedi there are and kind of started disliking them. I'd be into more outer rim stuff that strayed from the force and lightsabers, and I'll watch Andor when it comes out.
