Star Wars is part of a very special club.
Got to the first line, punched page down a few times, then realized there's three quarters to go! Skipped to the conclusion. It amounts to, "Do not criticize the cult. There is only good. Let the Word into your heart". Blech. How embarrassing to see people have to defend that crap to the death because it's just so important to their identity.

Can't imagine the true misery a superfan has to deal with. Oh no, Palpatine was shown with a lightsaber! Oh no, my book collection is no longer canon! Oh no, I spent years charting out that galactic map!

Maybe jj abrams has brought it back from the dead for some people. But star wars is long over for me. Oh well.
There's footage from 1999 of viewers cheering, entire theatre in applause, to the opening crawl. Then the honeymoon's over. It's all marketing, and I'm old enough now that I can't be excited by the idea of perpetual Star Wars everything everywhere.
