>>11590492>if only we knew then, that it was the beginning of the ruining of it.I knew it and I was in my mid-teens, so either I'm a motherfucking genius or other people(yourself included) are utter retards. Yidsney had sent quite a few signals their take on Star Wars is going to be dogshit long before TFA came out
>choosing a notorious hack faggot JJ Abrams as a director. I vividly remember seeing condolences from Star Trek fans who already knew TFA is going to be ass from that single fact alone.>shutting down Lucasarts and announcing the Star Wars game license is going to get handled to the absolutely garbage company that is EA. I cannot emphasize hard enough how great the 00s and early 10s were for Star Wars fans into vidya(aside from TORtanic lol), and that going from that to EA was an EXTREMELY obvious sign of Disney not planning to handle the franchise with due care>unceremoniously throwing EU into the trash can in one fell swoop. All of these amazing stories that were bread and butter of more hardcore fans, ready to be adapted into great films, only to get tossed away forever in favor of whatever Abrams and other hollywood nonces would shit outSure, if you were one of the casual fans like my parents who ONLY watched the movies or only liked/cared about the original trilogy, then yes, you had a reason to be excited because the trailer had MILLENIUM FALCOOOOOON. But that kind of a fan is a fucking cattle, and the cattle ended up obediently marching into Walt Disney's merry little slaughterhouse.
