This looks like it will work, because it is about an original character, but contains the trappings of the franchise that have been shown to be popular.
It is also not about a planet destroying super weapon.

Blimey someone on here likes the new trilogy?

Honestly, the amount of bitching is just baffling to me.
At a certain point I have to assume what marks someone as a "fan" of Star Wars is their capacity to complain about Star Wars.

I've seen 7 and 8 twice each, and liked them each time. People seem to dislike things that I like in the movies, so whenever somebody tells me, "This thing was so bad..." I have just started to tune them out.

There is a never ending font of genre fiction in the world now I have no idea how anybody has time to hate anything for more than a few minutes.

I’m not really a fan of TLJ, but even I’m tired of the complaints about the movie. It’s in large part because so many people aren’t just, “I don’t like this movie,” but they are overly dramatic about it, and they believe they speak for all fans. That, and it happens every time something new Star Wars comes out.

I mean, look how they edited Kelly Marie Tran's Wookieepedia page to get an idea what I mean, painting her as a dumb, drooling jungle retard. Pure racism at its worst. I prefer something like WorldofGeekdom. He is professional in his criticisms without bringing up politics. Very rarely has he done so at all, and I appreciate that.

Well, I do know recently those in charge of Star Trek think it's a capitalist economy, which is fucking hilarious because Trek is about as forward-thinking post-scarcity as you can get.

Yes indeed, but Slash will do what he does best pull statements out of his backside and play whataboutery.

That it was left-wingers editing the page, then taking a screenshot before anyone could see, and then posting it to their news sites. Whatever. Though I should tell you it got so bad the mods had to be involved, and frankly racism and xenophobia is either something the right wing uses to troll people with, or they believe in it themselves, so frankly, I see this as being legit.
