Nerd rage
See? This is the type of guy I was talking about.
He thinks it's supposed to be just for him.
I promise you it's just as great for kids today as it was for you as a kid. But this can't be as good for you as the Original trilogy was for you as a kid.
It's not for you. You're too old. Your ability to suspend disbelief has been completely obliterated. You've been subjected to adult cynicism.

Go ahead. Throw around that "nostalgic fanboy" claim all you want - those people have a better vision of what Star Wars should look like than J.J. Abrams or anyone at Disney does
I am a nostalgic fanboy. I simply have the self-awareness to know I can enjoy it for what it is or rage against a pop culture phenomenon against which I will have exactly zero effect.
This is the same ***as the people who cried about the ME3 ending because it was exactly how they wanted it. And I consider it one of the most cowardly moves in writing for Bioware to cave and change their vision because of fan feedback.
You'll note how it stopped exactly zero people from complaining about Andromeda, rightly deserved criticism or not.
If you don't like a thing, make your own. If it's good enough to please the masses, people will buy it. If it's not, but you're still proud of what you've done, then it's still a success in its own right.
But directing all your rage at a Hollywood juggernaut is misguided, at best.
Please realize, I know where you're coming from. This is hard even for me. I despise some very, very well-selling, lucrative sci-fi/fantasy brands. I've talked endless ***on them.
You know what it achieved?
***-all nothing.
Like it for what it is or leave it peacefully for people who do while you move on.
I swear with the way people act about Star Wars translates to how the react when an SO changes/breaks up with them it's amazing there are more people beat to death with Force FX lightsabers.
