I'm just glad I know the OT are just movies, and nothing more. Ooh child. When they turn Barnie into a Teletubby and reboot your favorite childhood series, hopefully this forum will be here to try and contain your rage. Of course they're just movies. Movies that captured the imagination of several generations, inspired a massive community and an enormous collection of material. Things that were once canonized have been discarded like dirty tissue. A lot of the community got thrown out with the bathwater. And still, I go to work, love my wife and cats, and life goes on. People being passionate about things they love amuses and surprises you... You arw a weird dude Andy.

The last two Star Wars movies are simply not different enough. Because Star Wars has a particular look and feel, the movies have a tendency to reuse style, and to look similar (used retro futuristic). Compare this to the Marvel films, each of which have a look, tone, and genres that put them all over the place - they run the range of high-tech capers, war movies, spy movies, space epics, and political and mystic adventures. As it was, Solo looked a lot like the other Star Wars films, with three likeable main characters destined to survive, and so had almost no suspence. If Disney is going to release Star Wars films this close together, they need to figure out how to differentiate them enough so that they seem worth watching. It's not the reuse of style, it's the copypasting of previous plots and lazy storytelling. TFA - doh, der Empire is still alive. Is New Order now. How? Fuck off, we don't know neither. Space Gollum is new Emperer and super bad guy. Too bad, it's only foreboding, for as it turns out he's just a joke like his apprentice.
And now we don't have Death Stars anymore - we convert whole planet to Death Super Star. Same thing different size - cos you gotta top the old stuff with bigger - but it isn't better, it just becomes more ridiculous.

If that makes me a casual fan, then so be it. I'm just glad I know the OT are just movies, and nothing more. You are confusing "being passionate about smth" with "turning smth into a religion" and you are essentially pleading for a dispassionate fandom which in itself I think it's contradictory.
And we all know they are movies, not the holy trinity.

Yeah... typing "casual fan" on a forum (thats not even dedicated to Star Wars, by the way) is totally not weird at all... BioWare Social Network was once pretty Star Wars-y. It wasn't a full on Star Wars site (you had dear old Lucasforums for that, RIP ), but there were dedicated sections for KotOR discussions. BioWare has made two Star Wars games, and are owned by EA, who has the Star Wars license. It is not unimaginable that BioWare may yet develop another Star Wars game in the future. If you think any of my fandom is weird, I guess that stings to my immortal core. Really though, I will let dollars do the talking, and we will see better things or we will see nothing. Either is infinitely better than another KK Disney War. Everyone is posting facts and figures about movie sales and box office receipts. That shit is trivial, tbh. Toy sales are decimated, T-shirt sales, stickers, you name it - the merchandising is suffering immensely. Grown people speak with their wallet, as it is the only gun we have left.

They're just dumb movies. They're not meant to be taken that seriously. Are yöu even a fan? Dö yöu like star wars? If they are dumb höw can yöu like them? It wöuld be like me calling Motörhead a dumb band. Maybe it's the same way I like dumb G.I. Joe movies ... because I'm a casual fan of G.I. Joe!

Once more I am surprised with what members of this fandom takes issue with. Is it really surprising that Luke slipped (maybe not a rock but still) he had a much younger, more enraged, more physically fit specimen charging at him, he wasn;t using the Force by his own admission for years, and he was over powered...like probably what should have happened in any other realistic movie.
The important part of that scene though was that Rey was acting like a petulant, entitled, brat...so much for not having any character flaws.
