I don't even want to dip my toe into the fandom anymore. Seriously, Screen Junkies had it right when they did their honest trailer for the Mandalorian Season 1. Of course, if you watch that, you start getting every single Star Wars youtuber who post DAILY about their Mandalorian Season 3 "spoilers" or "theories." Like, what, no thanks. Or trying to explain Star Wars stuff using old EU canon that doesn't apply anymore.

And if you get into Star Wars on Tumblr, it's suddenly a rash of Pedro Pascal everywhere. Look, all I care about is Star Wars, not everything else Pedro Pascal has ever BEEN IN.

Both the prequels and the sequels had good premises. They had decent characters. But it's like with any franchise, the quality varies. Same could be said for the old EU. The OT were very solid B Scifi movies based on the Golden Fortress and the Hero's Journey. They had a SIMPLE story and a limited budget. (I'm all for limited budget movies. Somehow they work better.) Rogue One was the closest to capturing that magic on a big glossy tentpole budget. The Mandalorian is trying and doing okay with it, if they focus on the "Western" bits.

But no way would I say any of this off anon. Because the fandom has gotten really toxic.

lmao wow, SW fandom literally never changes. back in my day it was Everything Ewan McGregor had ever been in, which I was ok with because Ewan is great but that was also before he did anything mainstream and his most famous movie was Trainspotting.
