Star Wars: Rogue One

[epilogue]

Thats my kind of star wars for sure. Especially he porn and whiskey

[epilogue]

But have you ever seen Gungan porn? That shit'll get you there in way under 12 parsecs.

I want a really somber, old school, Italian-style silent film about the hardships of being a Jawa. I want to see a downtrodden Jawa come home from a long 18 hour day of backbreaking labor, sit alone at his small, slightly rusted, table and drink 5 fingers of bad whiskey cry as he masturbates to Gungan porn.

THAT'S NOT MY STAR WARS

Why do you think that sentiment is so bothersome to you coming from Star Wars fans but not Star Trek fans?

I think part of it is that SW fans are appropriating the franchise. They don't care about the artist who created it, they just care about their own misguided nostalgia. To the point where they actually say a new film the creator wasn't even involved with that is essentially trying to mimic the creator's earlier films is more "Star Wars" than the creator's own recent Star Wars films. They think they know the artist's art better than the artist.

The objections to contemporary Trek, however, are largely couched in outrage over how the people handling it are the ones who appropriated it and turned it into something its creator never wanted it to be.

They both might be fan outrage over how their beloved properties are being handled, but they're coming from opposite places.

However, upon further reflection, one wonders what would have happened if Gene Roddenberry had done an about-face in his later years and altered the fabric of Trek's ideology himself. Then what would the fan outrage mean? And how would I feel about it? Hmm.

The first one is understandable to me. The second one, not as much. But what you're saying makes perfect sense and I never really (honestly) looked at it like that before. So thank you.

I wonder what Rogue Two will be about

I believe you.

Families made up a little over 20% of Force Awakens tickets, and adult male tickets made up more than 56% of all tickets sold for it. By comparison, more than 70% of moviegoers for Inside Out and over 35% of Avengers (1) moviegoers were families.

Aprocryphal "my son/nephew loved it" stories aside, Star Wars is indeed now playing out as something marketed to adult memories, and not to creating something lasting for the next generation.

I'm sorry for yelling.
