    Star Wars fans did not ruin Star Wars. George Lucas’ complete lack of people who could say no to him ruined Star Wars.

      No. Both.

      People complain about Rise of Skywalker, quite rightly, but only half of that is the studios fault. The other half falls squarely on the fans for responding with such intense burning hatred, and no positivity, to everything that came before that the studio had no idea what the fuck to do. They messed up catastrophically, and didn’t always make good decisions, but the fans are equally responsible for being so insanely hateful and toxic.
