#sw fandom sucks

[mwolf0epsilon]

"Star Wars isn't dead y'all are just haters" "Disney saved Star Wars" "It's the Woke Agenda that ruined Star Wars"

My mans, Disney single-handedly destroyed the Sequel Trilogy despite the Force Awakens being the gateway to something potentially fantastic; MCU'd the Mandalorian (a story which originally had nothing to do with the Prequel and OG Trilogy aside from sharing a universe and exploring a sect of a completely different culture/ideology); ego-boosted both Filoni and Favreau to the point where their OC Verse is not only canon but openly disregarding the Star Wars Universe Bible/Lore; gave us a snippet of what an extremely misunderstood indigenous culture is actually like (instead of portraying them as the savages one of the white leads mislabeled as animals that deserved to be slaughtered) only to then wipe out the tribe we got to know for no reason other than shock value thus alienating indigenous/poc viewers in the most disrespectful way possible; completely threw away the entire message of TCW (that being a clone does not make you incapable of being your own person who has their own thoughts, ideals, moral compass and overall identity) by making TBB (a show that does have it's strong points in set design, soundtrack orchestration and overall sound design, but is extremely weak on both characterization and storytelling because they either make the meaningful plot points stretch too thin or focus on the wrong character completely) their go to show marketed for kids instead of the actual kids programming that people shit on for being for, surprise, kids; constantly disregards valid critique from their consumers (to the point where infighting in the Fandom has gotten extremely ugly) that people either give up on interacting completely or simply vanish and take all their things with them (because no one seems to understand where these critiques come from, or how being unable to admit your special little show is imperfect is actually not a good thing for both you and others).

This isn't even accounting for the fact the Fandom seems to have doubled in it's overall toxicity since Disney took over. Which is par for the course when a mega corporation takes hold of something that started out extremely political in nature anyway. The Cash Cow machine needs feeding after all...

#Eps Talks About: #Funny enough this started as an argument between my sisters #One of which isn't a Star Wars fan and the other who is an OJ and Prequels fan #My mom (who was the one to introduce us to star wars mind you) and I watched from the sidelines #Mom didn't care because she doesn't like Modern Star Wars stuff but I ended up putting an end to the argument #My younger sister is right that Disney put too much emphasis on SELLING Star Wars to newer generations to a detrimental degree #but that doesn't mean they invalidate what came prior to their shitshow or the message SW was created to uphold #in fact Andor and SW Visions S2 made a point of being the best homages to the OJ trilogy thus far by being very political in their messages #But my older sister is also right that the state of Fandoms these days is very much a US vs THEM situation in terms of how people make #themselves heard and how meeting in the middle is virtually impossible which is very much a product of social media and how people conduct #their personal image via either genuinely expressing their feelings on certain topics or simply using them for clout #It is a case of locking yourself in a room with an 'adversary' and trying to see who can scream the loudest until someone loses their voice #I love star wars but that doesn't mean I'm blind to the fact star wars also kinda sucks lmao but oh well these are just my thoughts that #I'm letting loose because I'm already pissed off from something else going wrong today and have no patience for some of the rancid shit #that keeps cropping up in either tags or posts I find in and out of Tumblr Dot Com

the ONLY 😡😡 way to enjoy star wars is to cherrypick the things u like and play around with them and make stuff up and hallucinate and have fun !! only like five ppl in the world understand this (my beautiful mutuals)

#like every sw fan has a different perspective of sw and.. most of them suck.. which is why sw ‘fandom’ also sucks #i am not involved in sw fandom i never will be 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️ but i will be consumed by my deeply personal sw brainrot for the rest of my life #nd i think the ppl that feel similarly are the best ones 2 talk sw with !!!!! #as far as i’m concerned star wars begins and ends with my mutuals who know and perceive the truth everyone else is bonkers #anyways.txt

man i dont know why (i have theories but hold on) but the fandoms Ive been in on the internet have been a little meaner these last few years. like i dont get nice comments on my fics anymore. i get ones with no reading comprehension or i get angry ones or i get ones that are enthusiastic and delighted but instead of any decorum they are like. aggressive in their delight. usually just a demand for more content. something has definitely changed in how people in fandoms interact with one another. my theories are just like. younger generations more comfortable with the internet not being as polite as older people on the internet are combined with quarantine kinda ruining a lot of peoples ability to interact socially (mine was ruined too to be fair). but like lately ive been in search of a fandom thats not the markiplier fandom that is nice to me and not aggressively-enthusiastic-weird (but i might take this too) and its kinda hard to find one. i dont know if i just dont have interests that align with happy communities, or what.

#markiplier fandom nice to me forever and ever. #sometimes they get me on edge when they demand i update and dont even say like 'nice fic i liked this' they just say 'update' #but thats literally like the meanest fan ive met so 👍 #fnaf fandom is interesting. you definitely gotta treat them the way you want to be treated or theyre not gonna be nice #unfortunately this means you cant joke too much with them. #uh. moment of truth. percy jackson fandom kinda mean. ok they are mean. no kinda. also no reading comprehension #definitely a fandom that bonds by choosing something to nitpick and hate together. which sucks if you liked that thing they chosen that wee #my little corner of the xmen fandom has actually gotten nicer as time goes on. but also more obsessed with details and accuracy #but my corner of the xmen fandom was still nice enough that i adore them even if i havent been in it in ages #marvel is very so-so depending on where you are in the fandom but its such a large fanbase it is what it is. normal #witcher fandom from my experience has been pretty chill but i havent done much as a content creator for them to really know #d:be human is. decent. unfortunately a lot of outside hate there that it kinda outweighs how polite the fans are #star wars.... well. if you find your niche good for you! nice people. but if you get too generalized with your niche. rip #sw fandom when you study mando'a or dai bendu: hai X3 !! #sw fandom when you get too generalized and talk 'prequel vs sequel': die #vent #this is funny because i was really nice about this sw comment. but its generalized. which means someone will tell me to die. #why do i know this? because ive made this comment about the sw fandom before. =_=

the last remaining threads of my sanity are slipping through my fingers rn 🚬 😑

#i'm out of cigarettes i'm incredibly ill and i'm reconsidering my relationship to a certain fandom. #look i'm NOT saying i'm gonna stop the divorce proceedings but uh. fuck. i may have been re reading some of my older works and unfinished #fics and i MAY. i repeat MAY. have some tiny shred of interest posting about st*r w*rs again #motherfucker i'm SO hesitant to speak that into existence and will be absolutley APOPLECTIC if it happens bc i don't fucking WANNA like sw! #i divorced it! i took the kids (my ocs) & filed a restraining order & crossed state lines & broke all contact and yet! and fucking yet!!!! #i find myself in tags i havent visited in over two years on the archive like some beaten dog slinking back home to a shitty master #i honestly hate like. fucking ALL of the shit i've written from then that i reread and some of it was so bad i couldnt even bring myself to #click on it after reading the summary. like. UGH! i have a half baked fic idea i wrote a little for and i think it's more compelling than #any of the literal dogshit i posted back then so i MIGHT work on polishing that up and posting something that isn't actual garbage by my #current standards. all of this is still up in the air tho bc i dont know if the hyperfixation or even the bare minimum lvl of interest has #returned or if it's just fever induced delirium. i've been having INCREDIBLY fucked up bad horrible awful vivid dreams as of late so fever #induced brain fuckery isn't out of the question. sigh. i'm so mad abt this #even if i do regain some interest in the fandom i don't think i'll have any interest in new source material after the mando s2 finale & #tbo.bf sucking ass & the obi show being mid & everything with the ST. i plan on watching ando.r but after that? zero interest in anything #new from sw. so. if anyone still reading this and is getting excited abt me POSSIBLY MAYBE being interested in sw just know i still hate it #a bit and feel like i'm being dragged kicking and screaming back into this mess unwillingly. or it's due to a fever. god i need a smoke #len speaks #that's literally the longest tag rant i've ever gone on. fuck that's a BAD sign

[famousblueraincoatmp3]

i really hope yellowjackets doesnt go in the W/ndigo direction that would be so trashy. i hate how butchered and appropriated it has become. 

#sam.txt #same w SW and tiktok rn #like tree SW? are u guys for real lol.... #yellowjacket reddit is so bad because this theory is like the most pervailing one bcz of the antler imagery #like the w-digo has nothing to do w deers rlly? yall are thinking of the deer woman spirit #like at least get ur lore right LOL #anyways all this to say im excited for season 2 but i hope no one on the subreddit is correct bc the theories on there suck ass #my personal theory is that the antler queen is not rlly as big of a deal as the fandom makes it out to be #and its actually like a 1% of the fraction of the crazy shit that is going to go down out there #bc its pretty obvious its lottie and i feel like it wouldnt make sense to hype it up as a big reveal only for it to take up #a majority of the storyline. perspective as a writer i guess LOL #the 1 interesting reddit theory i read is that #taissa is regressing during her sleepwalking (which is common) #and so shes acting out bits of history during her episodes #which is actually a pretty cool theory and makes sense

[the-force-awakens]

mm you know I think maybe the second you start belittling other people over their differing opinions than you, is the time someone needs to log out and go take a nappy, y'know?

#nym speaks #saw a post on here about sw. and like. oh yeah I have my opinions on stuff. #yeah I am a kvetcher. I am a complainer. #in secret. not in public for the most part. #but y'know what I don't do? I don't go around acting like I'm better than other people for it #Because I'm not an arrogant asshole #do. better. cultivate not just your online experience but your fandom experience. Don't like it? Don't watch it babes! #No one is holding a gun to your head saying u have to watch every damn show that comes out #if it sucks to you hit the bricks.

[reachexceedinggrasp]

Oh also, here's an extra (somewhat incendiary) ask you can answer if you feel like it: is there anything about Reylo, or Rey, or Kylo, or the Sequel Trilogy overall that you avoided getting into just for the sake of a peaceful fandom when it was a warzone? I'll go first: I didn't care about any of the storyline outside of Rey and Kylo and TFA!Rey only became interesting to me because of TLJ. I can still appreciate the characters somewhat and how they were done dirty by TROS and racism though.

Oh sure. I didn't totally avoid anything, I don't think, but there were certainly things I went as light as possible on because it just wasn't worth bringing up more than necessary. And I didn't argue about things I didn't care about, because who has the energy.

Although, possibly I never mentioned that I hate F/nn/P0e and it being a constant background pairing in reylo fic is a significant source of annoyance to me. It's one of those irritating ships that gets a default assumption everyone ships it and that really gets on my tits, but I don't remember it ever coming up in a way that I had to say anything about it.

#sw #there were a number of things that preoccupied the fandom that I just did not give a shit about #but anything that actually mattered I would say my piece about it #even if I mostly tried to avoid arguing about it #I deliberately did not bring up that the prequels were terrible though I don't think it was ever a secret #and we spoke a long time ago about how much I hate the whole 'it was never Luke's story it's Anakin's story' nonsense #I tried to be diplomatic about both of those #the prequels do suck but AT LEAST THEY TOLD A STORY #NOT WELL BUT IT WAS A FUCKING NARRATIVE and MADE THEMATIC SENSE #ugh

[engagemythrusters]

11 and 13!

11: number of fandom-related words you've filtered

uhhh many "(character) x reader" or its relations bc i simply needed to get them out of the way to find art faster sdkljfdksl i dont ship myself w people (aroace) so for me it was just a tag-clog for when i go search art. nothing wrong with it--like i said, just not for me!

i also have rexsoka stuff filtered, and obikin, and... I think that's it?

13: worst blorboficiation

Obi-Wan.

#EVERYONE SUCKS AT WRITING OBI-WAN YALL REALISE HES NOT A DOE-EYED DISNEY PRINCESS RIGHT?! #THATS A FULL GROWN ADULT MAN #ugh #ready to get murdered for that one #every time i mention something like that i get hate #anyway thank you <3 #we may both be ended by the SW fandom tonight

[otterandterrier]

I have issues with the way Han and Leia’s romance was handled by Disney. Although I do think it is not as bad as Reylos make it, since we clearly see their marriage worked, they had love and respect for each other. I don’t like how Han leaves since his character development is so strongly rooted in the idea of him choosing not to leave and frankly I don’t like the fact that Ben turned and all of Leia’s fears and anxieties regarding her “bloodline” allegedly came true.

But one thing I’ll say that I think Disney handled better than EU is the galaxy’s reaction to their love story. One thing I hated was how in EU all of the high ranking members of the rebellion were so classist about it, how they thought Han was below Leia, how they thought it would hurt her position etc. I feel like that was so against what the rebellion stood for with the ideas of equality and fair treatment that it just didn’t make sense even if look at it from a political perspective of them presenting Leia as symbol and possible card in treaties via marriage. I feel like that idea of them vs the galaxy was just too cheesy and very out of character

Agreed, I don't care much for that trope either. Even keeping in mind that most of the Alliance's High Command / subsequent NR government is probably made up of people from the Organas and Mon Mothma's background, and that the fact that being part of such a political movement doesn't mean everybody is good and progressive and agrees on everything, I still don't believe that that kind of inconsequential snobbery would have a place among High Command / the NR government. It's possible that there's a couple of those people who think like that, and even more likely that there are more people who were allies or want to become part of the NR who think like that and would suggest that the Last Princess of Alderaan gets into a political marriage or simply that she chooses someone "more suitable", because the galaxy is large and varied and this happens even today here on Earth. But I don't believe for a second that anyone around Leia would react with anything but contempt at the idea that Leia, a leader of the rebellion who lost her entire planet and deserves a goddamn happy ending with whoever she chooses, could be used as a bargaining chip. So yeah, I'm really happy especially with the direction that Disney canon took in terms of her relationship with Mon Mothma. Leia deserves a female mentor and friend who cares about her for her.

[starwarsbutmakeitgay]

No because I genuinely whole heartedly HATE most of the Star Wars fandom.

It is one of the most disgustingly racist, homophobic, sexist fandom you will ever have the misfortune of coming across. It is the most unapologetically gross place to be.

I love part of it. A teeny tiny little wittle microscopic sized part of the fandom. That part, that fucking atom sized part, is great. Its full of great artists, amazing theories and videos and fanfic and just wow *chef kiss* amazing.

But they’re drowned out and you can’t just ignore the bad side of it.

it isn’t just like “ah some fans are annoying oh well”

its “some fans harrass and bully and attack POC actors and POC fans, some fans send death threats to lgbt fans, they destroy what little positivity this fandom has, they harrass literal children for not knowing every single piece of lore, they are gross towards women and its just a mess and they’re so loud with their behaviour”

And there isn’t a set way to fix it. You can’t just accept this and you can’t fix it and then it comes down to “what do you do?”

I try to keep to myself and not engage but then not engaging makes you complacent but when I do engage and try to reason it opens myself up for harassment.

Disney and Lucasfilms do nothing to address these fans. They do nothing but warn actors/actresses that racist comments are just something they’ll have to deal with. WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

I’ve said it before I’m saying it again why does something that brings me so so so much joy have to harm so many? Why does something that I love have to hurt people. I hate this sm. so very much.

Star Wars my beloved, why are you so shit?

#i am crying #i am emotional #can you tell #i hate it sm #star wars #star wars fandom #sw fandom #star wars do better #star wars fans do better #star wars fandom sucks ass

[xxiamnotokay666xx]

I think I found out why I hate Rey so much.

it's cuz she's a bad charcater in a movie that claims to be a sequel to some movies that I love, and it has a huge budget, and like actual actors and sets and stuff, and adult people wrote it.

I swear, had Rise of Skywalker been a fanfiction written by an angsty preeteen crying under the covers at two AM because she's not liek other grills, it would either drown in better written fanfic or become a staple of society and have people fangirling over it like people do with My Immortal.

Rey's problem isn't that she's a Mary Sue. it's that she was written my adults.

#star wars #star wars sequels #star wars sequel trilogy #star wars sequels suck #rise of skywalker #sucks #i hate it #rey #rey star wars #rey sw #not calling her #skywalker #forget it! #it didn't happen #fanfiction #fanfic #bad fanfiction #mary sue #star wars fandom #fandom

[solemntitty]

the top ao3 stories for this fandom im reading have author's notes asking ppl not to tag it as [alternate ship name] or to stop having fights in the comments abt ships and im. listen ik its a fandom comprised of a bunch of 13 year olds. lets be grateful it hasnt regressed to adults suing over ships bc man that was Peak.

#jamie has made a statement #y'all remember that one hp fandom fight that went to court over smth #god that was so stupid #anyways everyone writing fics seems to be New to Drama #also so many ppl in this fandom r like. terminally online 14 year olds #i just wanna read about weird ship dynamics and immortals man #i also realize the hypocrisy of complaining abt ppl complaining abt drama However #but also sucks that the authors feel they have to do that like bruh if i dont like a fic i leave #thats the correct etiquette and always has been #i do remember one sw fic i read the author got death threats sent to her children #i think she ended up abandoning the fic which is sad bc it was over a million words and i was Invested #anyways ya boy is abt reading whatever the fuck u wanna read in fandom if u dont like that unfollow me idgaf

[halswhining]

im usually not a hater. im usually understanding and kind and i get where people are coming from. i don't participate in ship drama

but i wish i could choke the bitch who blazed this

get help

#sw is the only fandom im in that i never participate in bc IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY EVERYONE SUCKS

[dreams-are-paper-thin]

There's a great disturbance in the fandom about whether Sabine is Force-sensitive or not. So let's take a look from the beginning.

In A New Hope, Obi-Wan explains the Force as:

It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.

And according to George Lucas himself:

In Rebels, Kanan uses Obi-Wan's explanation for the Force more than once. There's an important conversation in Trials of the Darksaber, which is related to this and to Sabine.

Hera: Or maybe because she doesn't have the Force, you don't believe she can do this?

Kanan: No. The Force resides in all living things. But you have to be open to it. Sabine is blocked. Her mind is conflicted. She's so expressive and yet so tightly wound. She's so...

Hera: Mandalorian.

Kanan: Very.

Kanan never says Sabine doesn't have the Force. On the contrary, Hera says she doesn't have it and Kanan says no. What Kanan says implies that Sabine does have it, she's just not open enough to wield it.

Keep those quotes in mind for later.

Now, we have to address the Bantha in the room: the midichrolians. We're introduced to this concept in the prequels trilogy, I believe. It serves as a more technical explanation of the Force. The SW fandom wiki offers this definition:

Again, the midichrolians are in all living organisms because the Force resides in all living things.

As far as the movies go, we don't know how high the M-count has to be for someone to be able to wield the Force. We just know Anakin has a count of over 20.000 and that it's a very high number, so he's very strong in the Force.

We can assume that the higher the midichrolians, the more aptitude the user has in the Force.

I'm guessing Sabine has a low M-count, thus limited abilities in the Force because of this line in episode 2 of Ahsoka:

Huyang: I have know many padawns over the centuries, and I can safely say your aptitude in the Force would fall short of them all.

Some people interpreted this line as "Sabine isn't Force-sensitive at all." What I understand from that line is that Sabine sucks at using the Force.

Either way, midichrolians haven't even been mentioned in the show, but I've seen people talk about it regardless. I find most discussion of this kinda pointless because there's not much to go on, so we can only speculate.

Moving on. In episode 3, Ahsoka trains Sabine blindly so she has to rely on the Force to see. I think a lot of people missed that Sabine did, in fact, use the Force in that scene. Watch carefully.

2:16. After Sabine has grown impatient for not succeeding, she finally manages to sense Ahsoka's presence (she still couldn't see and Ahsoka didn't touch Sabine) and fight a little, until Ahsoka stomps on her foot and Sabine falls to the floor.

Ahsoka: Anger and frustration are quick to give power. But they also unbalance you.

Why would Ahsoka say that in the first place if Sabine hadn't used the dark side of the Force? She probably struggles with the light side because it's so different from what she's used to as a mandalorian. It's more aligned to her nature.

Later in the same episode, this conversation takes place:

Sabine: I can't use the Force. I don't feel it. Not like you do.

Ahsoka: The Force resides in all living things. Even you.

Sabine: If that's true, then why doesn't everyone use it?

Ahsoka: Talent is a factor. But training and focus are what truly define someone's success. Not everyone can handle the type of discipline it takes to master the ways of the Force.

This fits perfectly with Obi-Wan's quote and what George Lucas said in the interview. This is consistent within the Star Wars universe and Dave Filoni's previous work.

It does not break the canon, it does not retcon anything. We simply hadn't seen before someone training to use the Force and struggle so much with it.

And to me, that is far more interesting than having every single main character being just overly and naturally competent with the Force. You don't have to be the Chosen One to use the Force, you just have to have enough determination to put in the work.

Back to Ahsoka. In episode 4 (the latest episode that's come out since I'm writing this) Sabine manages to do a very slight Force push during her duel with Shin. I know many people will disagree with me, but just watch the scene again.

1:22. Shin disarms Sabine and knocks her to the ground. Sabine extends her hand and Shin is slightly pushed back. Her arm falls down, her head turns to the side.

I've seen multiple people say Shin did this in anticipation (when has anyone everyone done that?) and that Sabine didn't Force push her. But the thing is, there's a Force push sound effect. Listen closely. It's faint and short, but it's definetely there.

I think Shin's line also confused a lot of people.

Shin: You have no power.

This is not "Sabine tried to use the Force and failed and Shin reiterates it." Again, there's a Force sound effect. That should be proof enough that she's somewhat connecting to the Force. They wouldn't put it there if she wasn't using the Force.

I think Shin and Baylan, as sith/dark jedi or whatever they are, see the Force only as a means to power. That's what Baylan is seeking with all this anyway: power.

Someone with low Force-sensitivity like Sabine would seem totally powerless to them. Everyone has been telling Sabine she's not good enough for it (Huyang, Shin, even Sabine herself.)

So, you can totally disagree with me on this, but I personally interpreted that line as Shin telling Sabine to quit while she's ahead. If she'll never be as powerful as the rest of them, why even bother to try? But Sabine, as the stubborn mandalorian she is, still continues to try.

I think Dave Filoni is painting a very clear picture: Sabine can indeed use the Force, but she's not naturally skilled at it. I think she might still have some sort of block from it, like Kanan said. The show seems to be slowly building up to her wielding the Force more succesfully, though. Starting small, one step at a time.

With Sabine's decision (she didn't have much choice, if you ask me) near the end of episode 4, I do wonder if Sabine will be a dark side user. Shin and Baylan use the dark side but they don't seem to be consumed by it. We'll just have to wait and see.

I understand that people think that Sabine being Force-sensitive diminishes her character, but so far I don't think that's the case. She still uses her blasters and some mandalorian tricks up her sleeve. This just adds another layer to her character. Natasha Liu Bordizzo said in an interview somewhere that Sabine changes fighting styles frequently, and I think we'll see more of that soon.

As long as Sabine stays true to her mandalorian ways, I'm fine with it. How cool would it be to have a mandalorian-jedi in the mandoverse? Sabine has been kind of disconnected to her mandalorian heritage for a long time now, and I'm sure she won't be a regular Jedi, if a Jedi at all. She's a special breed, one of a kind. Who knows, maybe she'll help to bring balance to the Force after all.

If Bo-Katan can walk both worlds, then so can Sabine.

There are a lot of problems in Star Wars fandom that I’ve been dealing with and am still mad about, but it finally struck me tonight what connects almost all of them together:  I’m tired of fandom being about other fans. I’m tired of going into the character tags to see rants about other people are liking characters too much/not enough, I’m tired of “everyone sucks here and if you don’t agree, you’re why we can’t have nuanced discussions” posts in the tags, I’m tired of 7+ years of playing defense on every post I write because there’s always someone who is mad at me for some other reason and so they’re going to take everything I say out of context. I’m tired of how it’s become a constant stream of posts about other fans (usually complaints about how someone had a wrong opinion on the internet) instead of the material we’re supposedly fans of and not even the fun kind, like fic recs or fanart promotions!  I can take a certain amount of it being about other fans, but it feels like SW fandom has way past the healthy mark and now half the discussion of anything is jump started by being about someone else’s wrong opinion and you can feel that in the post.
