That plus the terrible PR by Disney and Lucasfilm has put people off from any new Disney Star Wars films.

... This is somehow an even stupider opinion. Look, I'm just ever so slightly too young to be prequels age. The first Star Wars film I saw in cinema? The dodgy Clone Wars prequel. But you know what? And I love Star Wars. It's always been there in the background. Be it Lego, TV shows, toys, parodies, EU stuff, just general pop culture, it's felt more alive than a lot of other properties - including Power Rangers. Saying it died is ignoring how another generation was brough into the fandom, and the same. And saying TLJ is a bad film is your opinion, but as a fan of Star Wars lore, as you so call them, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

You know what I hate? Them revealing Darth Vader is Luke's father. Goes completely against the lore from Star Wars where they say his father died in a shuttle accident or something. Can't believe they'd betray the fandom like this. Plus, they show someone levitating an X-Wing with the force! The force hasn't been shown to be able to do that! It's stupid.
