There is nothing that can save Star Wars for me

The EU, my friend.

The EU and true Star Wars awaits you. All you need to do is open a book.

For me, it was largely LucasArts that were fueling my interest in Star Wars, and they were declining long before Disney showed up. The Last Jedi was simply the final nail in the coffin.

I still hold out hope that Star Wars isn’t completely dead, though – It’s far too large of a cultural phenomenon to destroy. Whether it takes years or even decades, I believe the current culture will shift and something will rise from the ashes.

The only thing which is truly regrettable is that the one chance to have Luke, Leia and Han back on the big screen all-together again for one last adventure was utterly wasted. Future generations will look back on this current era and wonder what the hell we were all thinking.

For me, it all starts with Kathleen Kennedy’s exit.  Once she’s gone, maybe some damage can be repaired.  Until then, I’ve kinda just moved on.  Over the past 5 years, Star Wars has gone from being my single favorite series to not even cracking the top 10.  Thanks, Disney.
