I don’t see why I should be downgraded for not enjoying all the main movies when not all of them were enjoyable.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

MODERATORS
I think everyone, OP included need to step back and realize that Star Wars is a corporate product, not a philosophy/religion/political way of life. (Yes, yes, I know about muh Jedi religion). From the first movie, Lucas had toy sales in mind even before the movie was completed. The "world building" was designed to maximize the number of toy action figures and vehicles. Ironically, one of the reasons Disney has failed with SW is that they neglected the toy designs. There is no need to do free advertising for Disney or become their evangelical missionaries.
No need to kink shame someone's interests. Enjoy what you enjoy and let others enjoy what they enjoy.
So what about the big chunk of people like me that only like pre-Disney Star Wars?
And what about the big chunk of people like me that only like pre-George-Lucas-had-unilateral-control-over-every-aspect-of-the-movie Star Wars?
And what about people like me who think Luke Skywalker's drip in RotJ was cash money and I will never forgive George for not giving us more of that?
Holiday Special is like goatse
You only need to see it once.
I've watched it twice so far. What does that say about me?
You really like goatse
How have the sequels aged for you guys? I'm still personally disappointed by them
I have a different take.
The prequels were ass, then they gave us 7 seasons of some of the best Star Wars content there is to fill in the gaps and make the story cohesive. Now I love the prequels.
With how bad the sequels are I can only assume the cartoon we get to fill in the gaps will be a fucking banger.
Please.
That's ignoring a lot of context and nuance. The prequels we're bad because of the dialogue, Anakin's character development and CGI, but the story was always spectacular because it was created by one person with a clear vision. The "story" in the sequels is incoherent and an absolute mess because it's a story told by a bunch of people who didn't know where they were going when they started (or even while they were making them). Clone wars had better dialogue and fixed Anakin's character development while also telling stories created by the same person who was in charge of the movies the show is proving context for.
If Disney tried making an animated show to flesh out the sequel's, who would even be making it?
I dunno, jar jar?
He was for children.
