I don’t know George Lucas, and I’ll probably never meet him, but I believe that somewhere in his mind, over the years, while he attends countless consultation meetings for Star Wars projects, and people introduce weird characters and chapters to the universe he created, he has to have thought to himself “Why don’t these people go out and create their own shit?”

I’m an 80s baby who grew up on Star Wars, and the films have inspired me and countless others to pursue careers in filmmaking and entertainment. As a fan, it’s been very painful to watch the Star Wars universe expand so much that it has sacrificed the lore surrounding the original trilogy’s main characters.

Don’t get it twisted. This rant didn’t get started because of Disney’s latest Star Wars disaster, The Acolyte; it actually started with the revisionist history of Boba Fett.
