There was once I time where I would have argued against your take on Star Wars. But now, I don't disagree with you. The newer Disney Star Wars films have killed the franchise.
I don't consider Disney's Star Wars to be a part of the actual universe.
It's kind of bittersweet. Yeah, we don't get new Star Wars but at the same time we can appreciate what we have knowing that there's nothing new coming.
Same. I don't consider the sequels canon. There are too many plot holes that contradict the original trilogy. Sometimes the sequels even contradict themselves.
It's definitely what nailed the coffin closed. Disney releasing a new Star Wars show every few months was what killed it for me.
Second draft of this comment, because I realize this has happened a lot during my lifetime.
Star Wars, like Star Trek, The Legend of Zelda - a lot of the media I grew up with - started out as stories, and then transitioned to settings, and have now become paint colors.
There used to be an answer for "Who is the main character of Star Wars?" When I was a kid, that answer was Luke Skywalker. When I was a teenager, the answer changed to Darth Vader, and now it's a meaningless question, like who's the main character of brutalism or who's the protagonist of JNCO jeans?
I still watch every Star Wars thing that comes out but I'm less emotionally invested than I used to be
Same. I watched that Skeleton Crew show on Disney+. I enjoyed it, but I noticed a few plot holes. It also ended kind of abruptly.
