Here's an interesting story an amateur artist was just banned from Star Wars Reddit for....
...wait for it...
...posting Star Wars art that's better than LucasArts has published, namely redesigns for 'The High Republic' characters.
Great way to keep fans
Reddit moderators are paid shills.
Or rather, they're of a political philosophy and believe those who criticize Disney Star Wars are of the opposite political philosophy.
Probably triggered their feelings towards toxic masculinity.All the shirtless Jedi look ridiculous.

As a kid there was no greater weapon than the ninja star; they came from The Shadows™ -- except for the mythical boomerang that always returns, a concept from which most of Marvel's throwing weapons come (Thor's hammer, Cap's shield, DD's batons).
Ninja star + Boomerang:

Laser + sword = 2nd Place
Third is flamethrower. You're fired.

I watched Krull so much as a kid, just loved it.

If I were you I wouldn't engage in the representation discussion at all, if labels are going to bother you. Logic results in too many discrepancies the mind cannot take. And if you get caught up with each event and try to weigh it to each other, it's like when people say all STAR WARS fans are the same when we clearly are not. False comparisons and dichotomies arise.
The truth is we forget entertainment media is a product of privilege and therefore made by people in kind. In the beginning creation was autonomous but as culture derived itself from these artifacts of entertainment the necessity of marshaling and safeguarding cultural representation was democratized. Autonomy was given over to the principle of commodification. Fighting against progress will only position you on the wrong side of it. And because representation in media is still not equivalent to real social dynamic, you're punching yourself out for a cause that doesn't exist. For a consumerist facade.
I would encourage you to spare yourself the grief of this spat.

If the 80's had one great thing going for it, it was epic/distinct scores for films/tv shows. It's a lost art mostly!
The High Republic looks awful mostly, like San Francisco in a Galaxy far far away. I'll take Yoda with abs over the hot garbage any day

I didn't like the look/animation of the Clone Wars, especially Rebels, but I can look past that because they tried to tell good stories while respecting the franchise/canon. I have no faith in the KK weirdos

Fascinating. And who is the "they" in your scenario here?Lmao, or people could focus on telling good stories.
