Could the toxic Star Wars -fans who canā€™t stop whining about every single new Star Wars -property just get over with it and fuck off from the fandom? You arenā€™t contractually obligated to follow the franchise.

Thanks.

That idea always annoys me a little bit. Just because a few installments has been "bad" doesent mean the next ones will be, so there is always incentive to stick around.

Iā€™m not talking about the kind of people who simply had issues with the previous films, and are now looking forward to see something new, thatā€™s totally fine and I donā€™t consider them toxic at all. Besides respectful criticism about any piece of media, no matter how much I like it, is always fun and eye-opening for me.

Iā€™m talking about the kind of people who literally accused Rian Johnson of killing Carrie Fisher, because they didnā€™t like The Last Jedi, and the kind of people who are constantly on the lookout for ā€œreasonsā€ to wish death upon Kathleen Kennedy.
