No I quite literally know nothing about it. It's part of the joke.

The most familiar I am with it has to do with Yuka posting about it in lieu of the disney sequels.

Oh yeah.

Didn't Yuka kill himself? I felt bad for him because he seemed to listen to the wrong people all the time and that just fueled his bad tenancies and crippling depression.

That'd be the first I heard of it.

He definitely took people pretty darn seriously on the net.

My takeway from reading older posts by Yukaphile is the user had some deep-seated anxieties and depression, perhaps even traumas, but wasn't able to articulate them well.

Just my two cents.

This messageboard has shed a lot of users, at least in my sense of it, in the time it was remade three years ago. Now there's only a handful left.

The last I see of him as the Yukaphile-persona in the easily reachable public internet, are posts on a forum in June of 2020. I'd be rather surprised if he killed himself in the end.

That's the thing. Yukaphile was never clear on what's so wrong with the DSWC, past "canon stuff I don't know about!" It's hard to take that seriously. And then Yukaphile wonders why there's blowback. I feel sorry for the user, but what can you do?

And there's a lot to love about the DSWC, but I feel there's no good reason they can't continue the old EU, now under the Legends banner, alongside it from willing authors, with many still willing, and with it now serving as a good alternative to fans who hated TLJ, that LF says are toxic bigots without ever actually owning any of the valid criticism. You can't call fandom toxic when you won't let the old authors have that kind of freedom and label any dissent bigotry. And it's not just SWL, it's the NEU as well, it's just there to be ruthlessly promoted and explain new plot holes, nothing more, so they treat it as an afterthought.

I can see why people love RO, TBH, since it's the first mainstream live-action tale of stealing the Death Star plans, and it's steeped in actual lore, a lot they lifted from the EU, so it makes sense. For me, I like it, but it's something I've already seen before lore-wise, so I don't gush to the high heavens like many casual cinephiles. Kinda like how TDK is overrated, for example. As for TM, my issue here is concern over Mr. Filoni's growing involvement over many aspects of DSW, since he writes his tales like cartoons, because that's all he knows. It can be fun if you are able to balance it all out, but if the old guard is gone, and LF is shamelessly pandering to fans in their imagined view of children as idiots rather than lesser developed adults, how we are ever supposed to have quality control?

These are not creative forces who will think, "Okay, the Rebels need to get away, hmmmm... could they fly into the corona of that star? How long can their shields last? Will the radiation interfere with sensors and other ship's systems?" Even though we've seen that in many SF. And details matter. More and more TM is starting to feel like TCW 2.0, and... I already had my issues with that show. I've heard Mr. Zahn was not consulted for Thrawn's characterization, if you can call it that, in Rebels, and that makes sense in hindsight. I doubt he'll be consulted for Thrawn's appearance on TM either, and in no way is Mr. Filoni competent enough to "recanonize" the TT, this is just his take on that, and he has never been able to fit into preestablished lore well. It's the Filoniverse injecting itself into the TT through TM. Can't wait to see how much he screws up!

Resolving the "are the Fetts Mandolorians or was Almec being honest for once when he said they weren't" by having Boba bring out his Mando'a birth certificate was freaking funny.

Yeah, but now they'll want his long-form birth certificate.

I think Mr. Filoni probably had a heart attack when he saw that. Fandalorians over Talifans any day.
