How do you quantify that beyond your own anecdotal experience though? As you identified, that was a pre internet era. From my sample study, my dad, and all my friends parents, enjoyed the prequels, took us to theatres, and bought us a tonne of merch.
I think Disney is just using this as a scapegoat to cover up the fact that they bought the most successful franchise in the world and killed it.
Only in dog whistles mate. Coyotes live all over north america.

People with coyotes for neighbours.
I’m not gonna shame people for outdoor cats… but you’re being a little obtuse here.
If they sentence him to death it’s gonna be the white people version of George Floyd.
Their threshold for “calls to violence” is ridiculous. Got a ban for commenting I’d slap someone just like the person who got pranked slapped the person who jump scared them.
I’m defs one of those kids. I think the prequels hate is being blown out of proportion to discredit the sequels hate. My dad loved OGs and the prequels. I grew up playing all the snes star wars games. Darth Vader gave me nightmares watching the OGs in preparation for TPM. We saw Episodes 1 & 2 in theatre together. At school Phantom Menace was THE most culturally relevant thing to us kids I can remember before 9/11.
So people lose me with the “Sequels are the young generation’s Star Wars” argument. Cuz my generation didn’t reject the OG’s at all. Everyone I knew as a kid was collecting star wars cards/lego from both TPM and OGs.
IMO Star Wars fans we’re well within their rights to have higher expectations of the sequels than the prequels… for the simple fact that the sequels are the end of the saga. People can push through a slow start but a story with a bad ending is never cherished.
Yea it’s a known thing that people with epilepsy who live alone are at higher risk of ‘spontaneous’ death. If they have a seizure that prevents them from taking their anti-convulsant medication things can get bad fast.
We really should establish the precedent that fundamentally misrepresenting anything AI as non-AI is a crime.
It’s infuriating listening to someone try to be condescending while also being objectively wrong.
Free Speech is the right to have and express opinions without being repressed by the government. Yelling fire in a theatre is not an opinion any more than harassing people with racial slurs or other forms of flatulence.
Nobody is giving free speech to fascists. Ignorant assholes are misappropriating the term to justify their disgusting behaviour and they’re the only one’s falling for it.
Never got my wrist slapped. But enforcing votes is beyond the pale.
Dipped my toes into lemmy during the last exodus (2023?) but I’m done posting to reddit forever now.
Great list… but make it more obvious that there’s a Canadian list. With such a busy graphic some people, like myself, might initially mistake the graphic at one list instead of 2.
Sorry for posting here but I couldn’t comment on the .ca link.
