What? You dislike Star Wars entirely? I mean, I'm critical of certain aspects of Star Wars as I mentioned, just as much as I thoroughly enjoy others. I feel like your post was really, casually rushed, as there was very little thought or detail put into your points. Maybe you need to sit down when you're not busy and have more of a think about what you're trying to get across, and present it a bit more eloquently.So why I dislike Starwars?
I quite strongly dislike "good vs. evil" stories or "light vs. dark" as I've mentioned previously in this thread. There are many, many aspects to Star Wars that can someone can enjoy beyond just that. I adore the world-building, the aesthetics, the established cultures and lore (like the Sith), the scope of a wide galaxy just open for adventure and the scariness and intrigue of not knowing what lies beyond your own planet. I don't like the stories largely told from those things, with due exceptions (like the OT and TFA, bits of SWTOR). I've used the things I love as a base to write my own stories, akin to my personal vision, for myself to enjoy.Hope you don't think I'm singling you out, but I clicked the thread, it showed me the most recent post, y'know. And I have to say, with that viewpoint, I'm surprised you were ever attracted to Star Wars to begin with. The staunch moralities and aversion to grey approaches is a staple and pillar of the Star Wars mythos. If I might guess/ask, were you drawn in by Mandalorians or basically non-Force sensitive characters?
That's what this thread is about, presenting our ideas of our dream Star Wars.
