[QUOTE="Belen, post: 9434938, member: 1405"] Pot calling kettle? You are arguing for a mythical future that cannot be supported either. My experience with the kids who like Star Wars is that they do not like the ST. You can further see this from items like toy sales. The kids want PT and OT toys. They do not want ST toys. The local toy shop, which is a bit famous for hosting things such as retro toycon, refuses to even buy sealed vintage and black series ST figures. They sell maybe 1-2 a year. Ratings for new Star Wars content have cratered and sales of SW novels have tanked. I know many people who defend and even like the ST and it is fine if they do although they always all seem to discuss it using the same general phrases and terminology. I am never sure if they genuinely like it or if they just want to argue about it. As for exposure, my son saw New Hope before TFA, and then the first 5 before TLJ. We saw all of the ST in theatres on opening night. He and my daughter routinely watch the OT and PT yet will not watch the ST. I even suggest watching the ST from time to time and it is a flat refusal. And, Star Wars was never uncool for me. I hid my love of it for a while to avoid the jerks who liked to make fun of "geeky" things, but there was never a cooling off phase for it. Finally, Star Wars is largely non-existent for most of the kids. I ask my son if anyone talks about it around school etc and the answer is no. That may change but I think it is just a sign that the brand is damaged. [/QUOTE]
