That's still better than what's going on with the Star Wars franchise.
Fan: "I want more Star Wars."
Franchise: "Okay, here's The Force Awakens. It's practically a remake of the original Star Wars film.
Fan: "That was fun, but I would have preferred something more original."
Franchise: "Fine, we'll subvert all of your expectations in The Last Jedi."
Fan: "I said 'original' - not 'subversive'. You disrespected the lore and the original trilogy characters."
Franchise: "You're just an overweight white guy living in his parents' basement!"
Fan: "I own my home. And my wife didn't like it either."
Franchise: "You're racist! The both of you!"
Fan: "Enough! We boycotted Solo: A Star Wars Story and look, it tanked."
Franchise: "You're not a real person! You're a Russian bot!"
Fan: "And we're boycotting Episode IX too!"
Franchise: "Screw you! We just renewed Kathleen Kennedy's contract for three more years!"

So the extent of creativity these days is either rehash something or subvert something, no one has another idea.

So the extent of creativity these days is either rehash something or subvert something, no one has another idea. Not at all. All these satires mean is that there are toxic fans who are never satisfied with anything they get. They come up with inconsistent reasons for hating something they profess to love. "I love Doctor Who but not you've ruined EVERYTHING!" There are others - few in number but, I believe, growing - who are getting sick and tired of them. |

The purpose of my satire was to show that sometimes it's the fans who are the voice of reason and the franchise is toxic. Star Wars Employees Dish The Dirt on Lucasfilm |

Sadly, that goes for just about any fandom these days. The "Star Wars fanboys" are much worse. You have to pretty much hate everything Star Wars related other than the original trilogy in order to be considered a true fan now, which is ridiculous.
