  • "Many male fans feel like they own the franchise, and are determined to safeguard it from anyone that could challenge that ownership" Correct! Star Wars was made great my a fandom of primarily males. They where thrilled to share it with one and all! And that lack of gatekeeping was a tremendous mistake that The Acolyte is the final result of. Where woke values like diversity and equity by far trump out storytelling or acting or even the franchise itself.

    Notice how when Star Wars “was for white men” the most powerful group could be anyone. White, black, female or male or alien. Anyone could see themselves as a Jedi. The second women take over and they make the most powerful group all women and mostly human. Oh and also a very specific sexuality.

Disney refused to touch it because they think we want to be stuck on Tatooine and Coruscant while making THEM unrecognizable, we had Naboo where Disney easily could have made "Young Palpatine", a drama about an evil man screwing up something either matriarchal or Democratic where a Matriarch pushes back...
      They had SOOOOOO many acceptable options for a true fan to stay lore/physics faithful while still pushing their agenda, but instead they had to rewrite everything starting with the sequels, how hyperspace gentlemans agreements from before the Republic work, how the force works, make the villain look like a child ruining his own grandpa's legacy...

    You’re ALMOST entirely correct. What a lot of people, including progressives, forget is that Star Wars was a global phenomenon. Lucas and Co. made it with young boys in mind, but it was so well made that it appealed to almost everyone who watched it. It was sold out for at least 3 weeks in a row, if I recall. Normies overwhelmingly liked Star Wars because of its universal storytelling tropes and themes, but the diehard fans LOVED Star Wars for its characters and worldbuilding. Normies were NEVER our enemies: they were our allies for sharing our interest in Star Wars. It was ALWAYS the activists who were our enemies.
