[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8994735, member: 4348"] I'm not so sure about that. I only have 2 grandkids that even like Star Wars now. They absolutely LOATHE the Sequel Trilogy. The do enjoy the original trilogy. The saw all the new movies in the theater. They definitely are not Gen X...they are Gen Z. They did enjoy the Mandalorian, they also seem to watch other shows but only have talked to me about the Mandalorian (note, I have not see any of the Star Wars TV shows myself). One of them would rather watch Marvel or Super Hero movies instead if given a choice (and oddly enough, though I cannot figure it out myself, his favorite of the Star Wars movies is AotC...which some ardent followers seem to hate). The other one is a decent Star Wars fan. They don't like the new books though. They do occasionally listen to the old books (what is it...Star Wars Legends?) on audio. Most of my grandkids would prefer other things rather than Star Wars. The ones that seem to actually follow Star Wars the most are NOT Gen-Z, but Gen-X (deeply divided, you have those that hate the new stuff, and those that seem to be hard core followers of the new stuff) and the Millennials (more divided into those who are now meh about it and those that follow it). Obviously, there are more than that in the groups, but in general it seems more of Gen-X thing than a Gen-Z. Millenials also seem to have some ardent followers, but not quite as big as Gen-X...in either direction in general from what I have seen. I think Disney lost the Gen-Z audience for the most part (anecdotal...just from what I've observed with Grandkids). They just don't seem to have the interest in the Sequel Trilogy that some here assume they do. The ones that are interested in Star Wars seem to gravitate more towards the TV series currently rather than the new movies that were put out. Perhaps it's just the younger Gen-Z audience (none of the kids I refer to are over the age of 18 yet). No idea what the college age kids are into TBH. The biggest fans I know are some older Gen-X...and man they are rabid fans. They force their kids and grand kids to watch and it can get HILARIOUS. I see their grandkids roll their eyes at their grandpa and it's crazy funny. It's obvious they do it to humor him. He is BIG on everything Star Wars though, from the the new movies to the new TV shows. Picks up all the merchandise as well. He's Mormon though, so maybe there' something that goes hand in hand with Mormons and Star Wars (I have noticed most Mormons I know seem to also love Star Wars). I get it though, the divide. I have had a growing interest in the New Star Trek TV shows. I actually really like some of the New Star Trek (Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, even Discovery), but you'd think I was a heretic for liking them if you listen to some people online talk about the New Star Trek vs. the Old Star Trek stuff.
