[snip] Wrong. I’ve enjoyed the OT, old EU, prequels and the new movies. Just because I like something you don’t doesn’t invalidate my opinion. Okay, I apologize I find it fascinating how concerned you are about your opinion's "validity", however ...

Well I’m an old school fan who enjoys all the films. This is exactly why I was asking about that definition.

Anyway, the semantics thread is probably somewhere else. "The semantics thread is probably elsewhere..." (or is that the grammar thread we want, or possibly the philosophy thread?)

When we can finally stop pretending that episode 8 was brilliant, that Lucasfilm isn't in a tail-spin & Ruin Johnson is a genius rather than a smart-ass hack we can assemble & begin to right the ship. Wake up, there's a reason the debate is still going! Until then this is the fans;

Can we at least agree that the sequels are generally disappointing on a very basic level? Depends on who the "we" is supposed to include.

Pfft. They were always going to sell books. If something from the EU is useful, why not use it? Decanonization means that you get to pick and choose. Implying they weren't able to pick and choose otherwise? This is what it's come to...

They don't seem to get it..... people aren't upset because Luke isn't some super warrior who can destroy armies with a flick of a wrist, they're upset that prior to Luke's stunt with Ben he pretty much abandoned Leia and the rest of resistance to their near destruction while sulked alone on an island and only came back when they were down to handful of soldiers. Regardless of what happened, one thing that remained consistent in Luke's character was that he was selfless. In A New Hope he eagerly rushed to save Leia despite not even knowing her. Now in the sequel he left his sister to fight alone against her son and the dark side because he's full of shame?

With a comment like yours, and you wonder why the fandom is in a tali-spin. That's a poor attempt at obfuscation. Fans don't usually respond in such a way - not to any significant degree anyway - if there isn't a significant trigger to cause it. The backlash happened *because* the new movies are highly controversial. So yes, the fandom in a a "tail-spin", and that's purely the fault of those responsible for making those movies (TLJ in particular). I do believe there is a reasonable way to hate something. Not harass an actress off social media, putting together silly "remake" petitions, calling for a boycott on social media (just don't go, calling it a boycott is petty and childish). Yes, it's not helping that Rian is calling out these groups and he should let it go at this point. Don't pretend your side is innocent in all this.

But he changed due to what happened and he felt isolation was best.
