I’ll be completely honest, I really don’t get the “jaded Star Wars fan” types.
If you hate 99% of the current output and are clearly not even willing to give any new projects a chance, why stay as an active participant in the fandom? What do you get out of it?
Aside from Luke’s portrayal, another big thing I disliked about TLJ was the fact that the Skywalker lightsaber was broken. Combine that with the line “let the past die,” and I just take it as blatant disrespect for the original six films.
While George Lucas's idea of balance in the Force was "when you go to the dark side [it] goes out of balance,"

showrunner Leslye Headland has a slightly different perspective saying "there is no light without darkness. No good without bad." ✨

@noachlive
Miles Morales is nothing but a cheap diversity hire just so marvel can have a black Spider-Man instead of actually making any new heroes.
Now, why do YOU personally want him to be Spider-Man so badly?
Did you know that before seeing use in the Resistance, MG-100 StarFortress SF-17 Heavy Bombers were initially deployed to assist New Republic forces in laying waste to and capturing besieged Imperial holdouts?
There’s artificial gravity inside the ship, the bombs were launched while affected by said artificial gravity, the momentum carried into space. It’s not rocket science lmfao.
I’m sorry but if you feel comfortable calling Saw Gerrera a violent extremist and a barbaric terrorist, but not Luthen Rael the same thing, then I’ve got some news for you pal.
Iirc didn’t a similar thing happen to the High Republic’s trailer? Why do Star Wars fans hate anything and everything new?
And don’t cope by saying “it looks bad”. I don’t recall trailers for shows like the Book of Boba Fett or Obi-Wan Kenobi receiving nearly this much flack.
Hotter take: I can’t stand most of the Old Republic designs. They do nothing new and only serve to reinforce the whole “design and technology never progress in the Star Wars galaxy” shtick.
If you were given the opportunity to change one aspect of Rey’s story or character, what would you change? The only rule is that you must keep things constructive and respectful.
Talking about the sequel trilogy in good faith is so damn difficult on this godforsaken app. It’s either 100% dogshit with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, or a misunderstood masterpiece that’ll be universally loved in a few short years. There’s never any room for nuance.
Wasn’t that scene shown to have been Ben’s misinterpretation of the situation later on in the film? TLJ Luke may not be the best, but at least be fair when critiquing him.
@StarWarsHaven
It’s in a similar vein to criticisms such as “why don’t force users just instantly go to crush each others windpipes?”
The just can’t. Leave it at that.
Y’know what? Fuck it. I hate the prophecy. It wasn’t so much as hinted at in the Original Trilogy, it makes any and all future stories revolving around the Dark Side inherently contradictory, and it morphs Anakin’s redemption arc into something it’s not.
Genuinely, what do people think saying “Uhm actually it’s Rey Palpatine, not Rey Skywalker” will achieve? Saying as much is not gonna change canon, no matter how badly they want it to.
@flamryn
You wouldn’t BELIEVE how happy I am that they didn’t leave it up in the air and outright confirmed the sibling dynamic in the first episode, just as god intended.
1. Cannot believe they took my 4 minute video and managed to tap about it for over an HOUR.
2. I actually didn’t defend anything in that video? I’m just excited about the show and theorizing about it. So…that title makes no sense?
3. Why is this in my recommended lmao
It is actually insane how unimaginative the Sith Empire is from a stylistic perspective in SWTOR.
Not a single aspect of these designs screams “archaic”. If anything, the Sith Empire’s design language feels like the successor to that of the Galactic Empire.
“Duel of the Fates is way better than the Rise of Skywalker”
In DOTF, the term “Nightsister Speederbike” is said in passing and is given no further elaboration. Need I say more?
@STAI2GAZER
Late addition; any attempt to blame the fans for what happened to both Ahmed Best and Jake Lloyd. Both were abused by entertainment media, and in Jake’s case it was bullies at the school. We constantly bring receipts but people like
