    Sometimes a story becomes a saga, which then becomes a franchise, which then becomes a genre, which then becomes a medium.

    Star Wars has gone beyond that; it’s become its own economy, where it’s even spawning industries of its own. And one of those industries (which sucks) are Star Wars reaction/outrage merchants, who live off the crumbs of Star Wars by appealing to people who don’t even like the damn thing.

    media industry: sucks all creativity out of the craft and replaces it with metrics and focus groups geared towards mass appeal

      My favourite accusation of woke was people complaining about princes leia being old and unattractive now. Like no shit? It’s been 40ish years?
