Recently, I've been having a few
discussions with 3 of my friends about Star Wars. To give some
context, the first Star Wars movie I saw (actually the very first
movie I EVER saw) was the original Star Wars IV, a New Hope. Yeah,
I'm that old. But since then, we've seen 3 entire trilogies, a few
extra movies, video games, and now even a TV series on the Disney
Plus streaming service. Lately, my friends and I have been discussing
our feelings about Star Wars in general, and some of us are at
different places. I think I'm probably the most negative of the
group, but don't take that to mean that I've lost my interest in
George Lucas's space opera. All of us have different levels of
fandom, and I guess for me, Disney's acquisition of the Star Wars IP
has been a mixed bag. Sometimes I feel the original magic of Star
Wars has been waning in recent years, and my friends and I are
debating whether that's due to unmet nostalgic expectations or a
general “Star Wars fatigue.”
