    I guess, and this is going to go down as well as most things I’ve said in this thread, it just seems childish. “I want my childhood stuff to grow up with me and become adult just like me!”

    Beyond that, Star Wars is a goofy universe and doesn’t super hold up when you try to take it seriously. (They have robots who are inexplicably terrible shots? They can move things at faster than light but only just realized that means you can fly a ship, or even just a cement block with jets, through another? Robots exist and are cheap but human manual labour seems preferable for no discernible reason?) And if you strip away the goofy fun, you’re just left with Star Wars minus the Star Wars elements.

    There are MANY good sci fi universes where complex plots, moral dilemmas and good dialogue exist. Those universes have been crafted to make it all work.
