I’m not mad about it since I think it is the nature of being a fan, but I don’t think Star Wars is really for me anymore. I never saw CWs or Rebels, and I don’t really have any inclination to, but it seems that someone needs to consume all SW media to enjoy the new stuff. Eh, but what do I know? I liked TLJ. I hope Ahsoka is good for those that enjoy it.
I have also fallen out of fandom for SW. I love the original trilogy and I really loved Rebels, but they’re squeezing the franchise to death milking every penny out of it they can. And, in doing so, they’re diluting and de-flavoring something that was once special and awesome, into just another consumerized product.
It’s started to happen to Marvel, too, with all the special interest pandering - not to diminish those special interests because they’re important, but do it in a way that’s not at the expense of quality, and storytelling.
So much of pop culture is being harvested like fucking corn, just squeeze every ounce of value out of it and leave a rotting husk in its wake. They don’t care; they got theirs.
