I find it laughable that you think that geeks weren't exactly as messy about every fandom update. 25 years ago Star Wars caused public meltdowns. I was there, where grown men cried, in public.

Yeah there was no shortage of people acting like the Star Wars franchise had been utterly ruined by the prequels and the OT special Edition back in the day. Same thing is happening now with the sequels.

It’s true what people say, “nobody hates Star Wars as much as Star Wars fans”.
