    It’s more fun to think about Star Wars than it is to consume it. The world has a lot to captue in the imagination, but most of the stories told in it are derivative.

    Kinda like 40k.

      I “stopped being a fan” in 2008 when the 3D movie came out, but before then I had read so many damn books set in that universe…

      Yeah, Star Wars is a lot more interesting in theory than in practice.

        Yep, the Jedi, Sith, cool planets and vistas, all seem ripe for storytelling that just isn’t there because the backdrop is often just vibes.
