At what point did you stop being a fan of Star Wars

therapists just lowkey tell men to kill themselves and are useless for real problems

I'm still standing.
Disney can try to make me hate it, they can't. I've endless novels, comics, and fanfics to enjoy.

I honestly never was, I just kind of liked the old trilogy but I had an open mind and a bit of hope for those last movies, they were so shit I think I'll never go to the cinema to watch any star wars movie again. I believe or atleast I hope that's the case for a lot of people and it's going to take years and a miracle to make them regain trust in this franchise

As soon as that ape in Kenobi showed here face, I knew I shant be supporting their product anymore

When George sold out

Disneywars becoming a thing is almost entirely the fault of Mike Stoklasa

/thread

I was never a hardcore fan, but I still like the old stuff that I liked before Disney repeatedly soured the franchise for a lot of people. I can easily just dissociate the Sequels and things like Obi-Wan as being connected to the rest. Canon in that sense is just corporate labelling I can ignore.

i didn't, i just learned to compartmentalize and ignore material i don't like. it's a big ass, old ass setting. all the post-sequels lore combined isn't even half the mythos.

The Phantom Menace. I knew it was over once that filth hit the theaters. The Special Editions were bad enough but then for a brand new movie to be that bad just solidified that it was over.

So I switched to Babylon 5.

I like Star Wars, some movies and shows - some more, some less, some I don't like at all. But I wouldn't call myself a "fan." I don't collect fucking toys, comic books and other shit for manchildren nerds. Star Wars fans are fucking braindead, and I wouldn't want to associate with them. I refuse to engage with it as a franchise, just some movies and shows that I like, and I actively despise its autistic manchildren "fandom."

Force Awakens. I went to the theater with my then best friend and we were so excited for the "grand return" of SW with Han Solo and Chewie and all but I vividly remember walking out of the movie feeling so empty. I didn't even hate the movie, didn't mind the woman and the negro (not racist, actually), the movie was just so... meh. Felt like a bunch of nothing. On our way out I said to my friend "was alright... right?" and he went "yeah... fine". It might be r*ddit to say this but the "soul" was just not there. Just a big pile of recicled safeness. No risks taken. No excitement at all. I didn't bother with everything that came after. Thank you for reading my blog.

I still like Star Wars. I just dislike almost everything but the OT and Andor.

I rewatched Revenge of the Sith at the kinoplex for the anniversary (I'm a zoomer) for the first time in years and realized how laughably bad the movie is.
The dialogue is Grace Randolph nails on a chalkboard levels of pain.
It's made for kids with ADHD who can't go 5 mins without some sort of action
At that point I gave up on the franchise

Is this an actual PR photo or a collage?

If so, it could be the only time Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher have been on-screen together, which is pretty cool and I think should have happened at least once in the Sequels.

7. When an important character is black I immediately lose interest. Unless he is an antagonist that gets destroyed.

Can't recall being a genuine fan. I grew up when the Prequels were releasing, and The Lord of the Rings was just so much better, so I latched onto the latter.
I remember enjoying the OT, but as I've gotten older they seem less and less impressive, from a screenwriting standpoint.
In other words, I've never been a fan. Closest I've come is enjoying the Battlefront titles on the PS2. So I guess you could say when EA acquired the vidya rights.

it's obviously a fan shoop, all of those people never been on the same place at the same time

TFA
That movie was insane, watching it felt like someone took a shit in my breakfast
JJ is definitely a trekkie

JJ is definitely a trekkie

Im not sure because I still play old star wars games like battlefront 2005 to kill time and can enjoy the films, though hadnt seen one in years before catching a stream of a 35mm theatrical version of the original film converted to digital that was linked here. Id say if I stopped being a ‘fan’ it was when I became averse to video essays on it or hearing peoples thoughts in general, guess Im more into storyless star wars content like vidya including modded total conversion stuff. Also im lying I guess because Ive relapsed into posting here and getting into arguments about how Lucas is a rapist and the prequels are crappy so I do somewhat care to indulge others thoughts if only to yell at them for them.

S11E5

Probably about a decade ago. Although I was never really a turbo star war nerd. I just liked the prequels as a kid and some of the video games. I didnt care about the daisy ridley movies and found them boring and cringe. I found rogue 1 pretty boring too.

is that the rape one or the brick wall one?

The force awakens
Pure slop without any originality or appeal. Never watched anything star wars afterwards. And from what I read it appears I stopped at the right time.

It’s also why JJ was hired for two movies. All because of one stupid fagot’s opinion.

Probably while watching the special edition of Jedi, it was offensive in multiple ways and really lifted the veil and showed George to be a hack surrounded by sycophants who wouldnt challenge anything he did.
I did get hyped initially for the phantom menace but it was a piece of shit and reinforced what i had thought about Jedi SE and i only saw the other 2 prequels out of curiosity but never owned them on dvd etc or watched them again.
I have watched some of the disney slop Mando season 1 was OK and Andor had a few good episodes. But haven't seen most of the new movies/shows or only small parts.

When it stopped being Star Wars and became tranny, gay, identity political goyslip

It came in stages. I got really upset at the bullshit they released in the Aftermath books, and I was stuck in a haze of disillusionment until... I want to say Kenobi. That's when I decided to just give up on caring.

don't care about star wars
I'm an andorchad and lucasartschad

I'll always be a fan of the original trilogy because it's legitimately good (mostly). Fan of a lot of EU, a lot of pre-Disney shit really.

I just don't consider Disney Wars to be Star Wars the same way I don't consider nu-Trek to be Star Trek.

i gave up this shitty series 10 minutes into the first movie

Can anyone recommend EU material worth looking into? Books, vidya?

When the Vong killed Chewie at Sernpidal.

When I saw that the sequels were going to be a reash of the og trilogy.
Like, what the point?
Say what you want about the prequels, at least they felt different.

Thrawn Trilogy
Republic Commando stuff
2002-2007 Clone Wars comics
KOTOR I and II

KOTOR 1 is okay. Everything else is either creatively bankrupt, reductive fanfiction slop that actively diminishes the movies and/or misses the point of Star Wars entirely, and just not worth the time investment.

I still love Star Wars. I read the books, comics, play the games etc. I love a lot of them. I love 1-6 to varying degrees, I love Rogue One, I love Andor, I love Mandalorian season 1, I love Clone Wars 2003. I dislike or hate almost everything else, but that stuff is the bee's knees. Kennedy and Filoni are running into the ground harder and harder every year, but I still love it to death. Its brought me so much happiness and gotten me through so many rough times.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars; I'm a fan of George Lucas, and that's what no one did

posting nu-wars books

Fuck off faggot

preferably off a cliff

While watching the book of boba fett. There was literally 0% chance to fail that show and they managed to do it. Incredible

That will definitely go down in "how did they fuck that up?" history.

Sequels

They didn't have a plan and it shows in every way.

When I turned 10 probably.

Everything Disney except Andor and Rogue One
I love the racist aliens from Episode 1 so much

I never stopped, I just stopped paying attention. The prequils sucked because I saw them in theaters as an adult who grew up on star wars. KOTOR on Xbox was my last great star wars experience.

It would've never been good. Temuera Morrison is too old and no longer physically fits the role of Boba Fett, and his acting is quite bad. And all the Maori shit he is forcing is super cringe.

This, that was my exact same breaking point as well.

As soon as they started pumping so much shit out making me feel desensitized. The Clone Wars and Rogue one were kino.

The clone wars was utter shit.

star wars was always gay as fuck, space fairytales are so homo

Never, i'm not embarrased about outside perception

When they started riding on CGI dogs in the Last Jedi. I clearly understood this reboot wasn't for me

Episode 8

You like to get railed by dudes I bet.

I miss the idea of it.

frogposter, spbp and /thread? never thought i'd see the day

RotS in SSS tier

KotOR, KotOR 2, and Jedi Survivor in SS tier

Revan book in S tier

my motherfuckin' dawg! saved for future reference.

wittiest star wars fanboy

I was still somewhat interested until the Rise of Skywalker (((leaks))) started coming out. TLJ made me cautious, but still had a few things I liked about it. RoS looked like and ended up being an absolute fucking shitshow that killed this franchise.
Rise of Skywalker came out in 2019 for those who doubt it was the death blow, and I know that's 80% of you because muh Last Jedi, muh Rian, muh Solo.

idea

and what would that be? aping japanese samurai films but repainting them with a retarded sci-fi setting with no cohesion beyond selling toys to little boys?

how in the hell did you have any interesting in the force awakens, especially as an adult?

Easy: At the time everyone including me fucking hated the prequels and assumed Disney couldn't fuck it up any harder than Lucas did.

You can try the reductivist argument approach but please explain why a simple idea cannot be a good idea if well-executed.

jar jar front and center

yeah it's totally real and official bro

Still laugh thinking about Boba's little scooter gang.

I gave TFA a chance and was willing to look past how mediocre it was since it was the first of three and set up a couple of interesting ideas.
About halfway through TLJ I realized that I hadn't enjoyed anything I had seen, and neither that movie nor the sequel trilogy could be saved.
I watched a pirated version of the third movie out of morbid curiosity, and was surprised that they managed to make a movie so terrible that it made TLJ look thoughtful.
I tapped out. I still appreciate the Lucas movies, but anything new is DOA as far as I'm concerned.

it sure can, but star wars is so massively overblown as some kind of cinematic masterpiece when it had one or maybe two decent films that were innovative in a technological sense with new hope and empire strikes back, but the rest is so absolutely shit and retarded that i cannot understand how someone can have such a huge obsession with such a bad media franchise. i used to like this shit but grew out of it when i was 12 like a normal, non-retarded person would. like for fucks sake theres a myriad of star wars fans that lose their minds when they see some retarded alien named Jimblo Faghole that had 2 seconds of screentime in from 1977 re-appear in whatever latest star wars FOTM slop.

why didnt you just move on from star wars after the prequels and especially after growing up?

Because watching a 2 hour movie is not that big a deal

sure, just dont understand why you were excited to see it. it was clear and obvious right from the get go that the whole thing was a memberberry retelling of the OT story.

A New Hope and Empire are legitimately great films. Return of the Jedi has the great throne room sequence which feels like the end of the franchise but everything else in the film is meh to shit.

But really, that alone is enough.
Star Wars became popular for a lot of reasons -- one, there wasn't a lot of heroic fantasy available in big budget Hollywood movies at the time, particularly with a sci-fi twist.
It hit on a lot of great beats -- relatable main character, lovable rogue, strong sassy woman, incredibly memorable villain who was instantly iconic thanks to the look + James Earl Jones. You can try and minimize these accomplishments and act like they weren't cool but that's only because you've poisoned yourself with hindsight and can't separate the slop Star Wars became with what it once was -- at least two films which were genuinely great and sort of set the standard for the big summer Hollywood blockbuster for decades to come.

If you really can't understand why Star Wars was more popular than something like... fucking Krull, well, I don't know what to tell you. I guess you just had to be there.

I like Star Wars for what it is (or was), but I wasn't hyped at all for The Force Awakens. So from that it would probably be wrong to say I was ever a fan on the same level as a lot of people were. All the shit Disney did never really hit me as hard as it did for a lot of people, a lot of it I just did not watch and even hearing about it did not anger me. I suppose could be described as a casual fan of Star Wars, but not one that likes things simply because they are Star Wars.

I will level with you anon, I was just shitposting.

why you were excited to see it

At no point in the original post did he mention being excited for TFA

Never cared about anything Star Wars outside of the original trilogy.
I was more of an Indiana Jones fan anyway

Reminder all nu wars is faggot shit.

When filonishit and his recurring band of OCs became the standard

This

everyone including me fucking hated the prequels

I liked the prequels then and I like them now. The dialogue is clunky in places, but the prequels recontextualized the OT into the rise, fall, and redemption of Anakin, the way that Empire and Return recontextualized Luke's story from a simple boy turned hero story to an arc about avoiding the failures of father and redeeming him in the process.
Where Lucas expanding the story added interconnected layers, the ST floundered about without even a message in itself, let alone adding anything to the OT and PT.

Why is your tier list so low res what’s the point man

genuine hyper-autist.

April 25, 2014

I got into Star Wars with the VHS remaster in the late nineties. Started tuning out with the prequels.

Right here. TFA was admittedly a bad film, but it was a somewhat fun watch and it made a lot of people hyped for what was to come, myself included.
But then this scene happened in TLJ and I instantly lost all hope and interest

I still like the first six movies, although I really stopped caring about Star Wars completely after the Last Jedi. As bad as the Force Awakens was, I held out hope that whatever followed would be worth it, but I was wrong. Now I couldn't care less about anything Star Wars related that comes out.

when they announced george departed and killed the eu

At what point did you stop being a fan of Star Wars

When I saw THE FORCE AWAKENS - I found it to be a complete rip-off of the original Star Wars (1977) film.... right down to the attack run via a trench on the new "Death Star". I went in there with an open mind but came out hating what I saw and what Disney did to the Franchise. The following two films were likewise no better, if not worse.

Having sat through the original film at the first screening in 1977, if would not believe you if you told me there would one day be a scene where Rebels run amuck on the surface of an Imperial Star Destroyer whilst riding a bunch of horses. There's a reason why the toys from this reboot fail to sell. But Disney themselves admit that despite having access to the Lucasfilm archives, they had no clear plot for the three films prior to filming them one at a time.

The fans savaged all three of the modern Sequels. The reviews were brutal. And when it was all over, the fans were left with memories of Luke Skywalker becoming a blue-milk drinking psycho-killer and Palpatine being restored and taking over the Skywalker bloodline.

What are those two things in between Revenge of the Sith and the LEGO game?
