The casuals aren't really all that annoying to me, so long as they don't profess to be diehard fans. I'm a huge Mass Effect fan, and could probably quote most of the codex from memory. But I'll never claim the same level of knowledge for something like Warhammer 40k. I know the basic information necessary to enjoy the franchise, but I'll never profess to be a Warhammer lorebeard. It's okay to have a casual interest in things. Just please at least be fucking honest about it.

As a "Casual" I actually enjoy talking with lore masters of the Expanded Universe when I meet them its always such a fascinating talk.

While I agree with almost all your points, there are 2 bones i have to pick with you. You say that TIE pilots and stormtroopers are poorly trained and equipped. This is not necessarily true. First for TIE pilots, while their craft was initially inferior to X-wings, most Rebel pilots view the TIE Interceptor to be on par with their craft, with only the shields being the difference maker. Second, alot of Star Wars best pilots were trained at the Imperial Academy to fly TIEs before defecting. Examples include Han Solo, Wedge Antilles, Tycho Celchu, and I think Biggs Darklighter but could be wrong on that. The Fel family are also known as brilliant TIE fighter aces, and their 181st Fighter Squadron being feared by Rebel amd New Republic fighter pilots. Third, the Stormtrooper Corps are considered to be some of the best trained soldiers the Empire has, surpassed only by the Imperial Guards and Stormcommandos. Fourth, it is routinely mentioned that one of the problems that the Empire and Imperial Warlords have is that they don't have enough stormtroopers to go around, and are instead forced to rely on Imperial Army and Navy Troopers instead, who were less well equipped and poorly trained. Finally, while the movies seemed to contradict this sonewhat the books do depict the stormtrooper armor as being protective against some blaster fire and impacts, saving the lives of the wearers. I just recently got back into the EU after dealing with Star Wars fatigue due to the Mouse, and your videos proclaiming the good news of the Star Wars multimedia project were a great help in getting back into this lovely universe. Before I left, my main area of interest was the Imperial Era and post-Return of the Jedi, thus the reason for this critique. I am doing this mainly from memory so if I am wrong on this, apologies, and thank you for informing me. My sources for this info come mainly from the X-wing Novels by Aaron Allston and Michael Stackpole, Allegiance by Timothy Zahn, and various other post-Return novels that Im not exactly sure which ones. I'm more confident in the TIE stuff than the storm stuff, because i really loved the X-wing books and would highly recommend them if you havent read them already. Thanks for the vid and your time.

Honestly, my bar for if someone is a filthy casual/normie when it comes to Star Wars is if they believed all the Stormtroopers were clones. That alone tells you that they only watched the movies at most and never bothered to look at any other form of Star Wars media.

I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean again recently, and I realised that the first 3 movies have more than 1 main character. (Jack, Will and Elizabeth) Just like The Phantom Menace. Sucked in Plinkett!

It's funny how people say that Disney Star Wars is for casuals when Ahsoka expected the viewer to be a die-hard Clone Wars/Rebels fan who knows the series inside and out to actually """"understand"""" what's going on in the live action show

When I was about 3 years old, my dad introduced me to Star Wars, and I fell in love with it instantly. Growing up, I loved Clone Wars, LEGO Star Wars complete saga, and various other aspects of the franchise. However, the sequels left me heartbroken. They altered much of what I cherished about Star Wars. Despite this, I found solace in shows like 'The Mandalorian' (at least the first 2 seasons) and other content on KZfaq, particularly the random lore videos that resonated with me. Last year, my Star Wars enthusiasm reached an all-time low until I stumbled upon the Thrawn trilogy. Reading those books felt like rediscovering the essence of the original Star Wars. Delving further, I dived into the Darth Bane trilogy, which became my absolute favorite book series. 'Plagueis' also stood out as a fantastic standalone. While attempting to explore the expanded universe through the Darth Revan book and 'Knights of the Old Republic,' the turn-based mechanics just didn't click with me. Overall, I'm grateful for the mountain of Star Wars content I could fall back on. I genuinely hope for more adaptations of Legends novels into movies because there's an immense wealth of untapped stories. I'd describe myself as somewhere between a casual fan and a super nerd, but my love for Star Wars is unchanging. My only wish is for Disney to preserve this universe or consider passing it on to others who'll honor its legacy.

I would also accuse them of being incredibly arrogant thinking that they know better about Star Wars right up to the point of thinking they know better then George Lucas

Being a casual is fine but to act like you know more than diehard fans is just dumb🤦. I myself have only been a fan for a few months. I've watched the OT and prequels, clone wars and other lore videos online. I've even read some comics and plan to read star wars republic and EU books. So I guess I am what you would call causal fan and is still learning about the world of star wars but I would never claim to have the knowledge of someone like Loremaster. and you know what's funny, is that RLM is suppose to be a diehard star wars fan yet in his videos he fails to understand basic lore that a causal like me could understand🤣

Great video. On its own, there's nothing wrong with being a casual. Not every person needs to be an absolute expert on the movie, book, or show they like in order to enjoy it, and there's nothing wrong with just simply enjoying the basic material of a franchise, without having a huge investment on said franchise. The problem with filthy casuals though, is that they have an overexaggerated sense of self importance. They think that because they like a franchise, and they know the basic material about it, they're representative of the real fanbase, that they're experts on the franchise, and that they know everything there is to know about it. And whenever someone calls them out on their BS, they respond with garbage like "JuSt LeT uS eNjOy ThInGs" or "YoU'Re JuSt HaTiNg FoR tHe SaKe Of HaTiNg". They feel like the only way to be a fan is to be mindlessly positive towards any new content that can be released, with the only Star Wars content that they're ever critical of being Rise Of Skywalker, and The Book Of Boba Fett. And even then, I've genuinely seen people who hate Rise Of Skywalker whine about people who hate Rise Of Skywalker. I'm dead serious. Imagine being so stuck in a toxic positivity bubble, that you get mad at people for stating a negative opinion that YOU YOURSELF AGREE WITH!!!!!!!!! TL;DR, there's nothing wrong with not knowing every single in and out of your favorite franchise and having a more impersonal relationship with said franchise, but when you act like you know everything there is to know about a certain franchise, when you act like you represent the real fanbase, because you like a property, and know the basic information about it, when you insult the real fans for calling you out and not being positive enough, you go from an innocent normal casual, to the pretentious "filthy casual."

I can’t begin to describe how much I needed this video. Brilliant work JJ

I have nightmares about being trapped in an elevator with cosmotard (who never read the Star Wars books)

Alright, another JJP video! Let's go! Feliz Navidad, JJ🎄🎉🎁🇵🇷

I consider myself a casual to some extent, but have tried to learn as much as I can about the E.U. Let me try to explain my position the best I can. I have tried to read what I can of the Expanded Universe since around 2005 or 2006. My knowledge of the E.U. mainly comes from some of the older (pre-Filoni) guide books. One of my favorites would be that of the Ultimate Visual Guide from D.K. I actually have two versions of that book (both of them pre-Filoni). I also want to get that 3 volume encyclopedia from 2008. Yes, I know it has some of Filoni's stuff in it, but since it was from 2008, there might not be that much of his stuff in that book. I also get my information from your videos and other channels, such as Manda-Lore, aka Captain Fordo, O.G. StarWars and Saintmillion. They provide summarized accounts of the Expanded Universe and even from their videos, it's far more interesting that what Disney has done lately. Now I have read a couple of the novels. I read the novel "Death Star" (twice), read one and a half of the X-wing novels and half of Darth Plagueis (awesome from what I've read). I also have a large collection of pre-legends versions of the E.U. novels and comics, so I have plenty to read. Unfortunately, personal things in life can get in the way and I don't always have time to read a book all the way through. I will say, though, I will try to read more when I get the chance. I'm currently interested in reading the Darth Bane Trilogy. It might take a bit since I'm dealing with online classes and some personal situations at this point which leave me exhausted at the end of the day. Currently, I'm on break, so I might have time for the first Bane book. I have also played some of the video games back in the day, mainly the Rouge Squadron games. I love all three of those games to death (especially the original N64 game). I'm currently playing Dark Forces, but might install a current mod that updates the controls because the old controls are not as comfortable, imo. Still, I like what I've played so far (hate those Dianoga, though) and Kyle Katarn can beat Andor's ass in a quarter of a second. I've also watched the clone wars micro-series and enjoyed it quite a bit. Grievous was an absolute beast in that show and Anakin and Ventress' lightsaber duel is my favorite next to Luke and Vader's from Empire Strikes Back. Now, this is probably going to be controversial, but there are some things (keyword, "some") that I like from Disney-Wars and even then I separate it from the E.U. I still enjoyed TCW for what it was (especially in the correct order), and yet can't put it alongside the E.U. because of its gapping problems. I don't agree with the notion that most of the clones have free will as that should've been reserved for the Commandos, and Anakin shouldn't have had an apprentice. I'm still more in Anomaly Inc's camp, in that I can still enjoy the series on its own terms while understanding the criticisms it's received from E.U. fans. What's sad is that despite the problems that show had, Disney can't even do anything better. Now, I know Filoni messed up a lot of stuff in the series (don't like the guy, either), but at least George was there to an extent (should've been there more) and came up with some of the material. I did enjoy the season six finale that depicted the Whills. However, after George left, the cracks started to widen on Filoni's screw-ups and his disguise crumbled after crap like Mando and Assoaker. Now most people see him for the hack that he is. The only other Disney-Wars series I'm interested in at the moment is the "Sad" Batch. At least that show (compared to Assoaker and Anbore) has a few interesting ideas that I can at least sit through it. Also, it's going to end after the third season, anyway. I might also view Rebels sometime, I don't know yet. After that, however, I'm done with Disney Star Wars for good. I'm especially done with their Live-action shows and refuse to sit through Acolyte and Skeleton Crew. I'd rather watch your reviews of them in the future and I know you'll "commence primary ignition" on them. One last thing. As much as I appear to be a casual compared to the biggest E.U. experts, I still despise the shills you brought up, especially Cosmonaut. Jeez, that guy can't stay consistent with his viewpoints, not just on Star Wars, but with everything else. That's all I have to say on the subject so far, J.J. Let me know what you think when you get the chance. May The Force Be With You. P.S. I still can't wait till you rip apart HelloGreedo's recent video about the special editions.

Mike Stoklasa (It's pronounced STOW-CLAWS-UH) has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to star wars. People need to stop idolizing everything he says.

Filoni is doing nothing more than fan fictions of his own created characters like a teenager

So Star-Wars-Explained is a tratior.

5:39 Film only has like one real advantage over digital. It’s a big one but it’s only one. It can be scanned at any resolution with no worry of limits since the only true resolution it has is grain.

outro: cities in dust, really good song, first heard it in the transformers fall of cybertron demo

I had to find out the hard way that Star Wars Theory is one as well. During his live streams I would ask him questions about the books, and then he wouldn’t know what I was talking about and would need pressing to admit he hadn’t read them. Yet for some reason, he had videos on things like the NJO. He literally would just use Wookiepedia to make bulletpoint videos and pretend to have read the books. Lost a lot of respect for him after that honestly. The only books he might have read are Darth Plagueis, Shatterpoint, Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, the Bane books, and that’s it. Also, THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING HOW MUCH OF A POSER COSMONAUT VARIETY HOUR IS. It pisses me off when he acts like his opinion is gospel because he “is a real nerd and has read the comics/books” as if he has some higher authority on what works for these fandoms. Literally stolen nerd valor lol.

real fan watch 1-6 films watch clone wars micro series 2003-2005 played lot of Star Wars games from 1990s or 2000s/early 2010s who read lot of comics from dark horse comic and novel from EU author who do actually research without using wookieepedia also if you have pc played Star Wars games with mods you are real fan too

Does listening to read along books count as a filthy casual fan bcuz I listened to Droid World n Planet Of The Hoojibs when I was younger n still do from time to time

I'll admit, there was a time I was far more invested in Star Wars, reading book after book, playing game after game, and at least getting an understanding of the comic storylines as the Dark Horse stuff was vital to overall Canon. I'm less into it now because the Disney stuff is childish in comparison. Filthy Casuals will also actively say the new stuff is better and in defense of their sacred cow cherrypick old EU material from the 1980s to show the EU being terrible. Yes, we had children Ewok shows and Marvel green bunnymen in the 1980s. They weren't considered of high importance any longer. Not when KotOR, RecCom, Thrawn trilogy, Outbound Flight, Labyrinth of Evil, CW microseries (which laid the current CW groundwork but watch them all deny that), Yuzhan Vong series, and SO MANU OTHERS filling in stuff with good content. But if they're not positive they don't get invites and freebies from Our Mouse Overlords.

they’re everywhere and seem deceptive so we can’t trust our eyes man they are just feeding on what’s left of our beloved Star Wars. Amazing video man

I will still consider myself a casual, even if I do catchup on all the books and comics that I missed a lot of, I wouldn't be able to retain everything. Growing up I watched the movies, the ewoks ones and the droids and genndys CW, played Episode 1 Racer, Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron, StarWars Episode 3 ROTS, The Clone Wars (PS2) Battlefront 1&2 (ps2) Lego StarWars 1&2 and TCS, Force unleashed 1&2 I've read some books set before TPM, between TPM and AOTC, some after ROTS like with Ferus Olin being a double agent and Boba Fett. Leter Years I got into Kotor and TOR, and I'm yet to do a playthrough of Kotor2. Recently I played through Republic Commando, am playing through Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike. Might have to emulate some of the Playstation games and Xbox ones to play the rest. I am aware of how many StarWars games there are, but for books and comics I'll need a guide to help me on that for future. I might need to listen to audiobooks although Print would make me want to read them because I haven't read a physical book for so long it would be nostalgic. I have read books digitally but its not the same as picking up a physical book, opening up and reading it. I do remember searching for second hand copies of anything StarWars from the secondhand bookshop or library though and reading through them.

There used to be this link i had to read a lot of the eu comics online for free, if anyone knows the site name, let me know.

damm. i guess i may b a filthy casual after all... i didnt look at extended universe material that came out after 2009, and what knowledge i have from star wars mostly comes from the 6 movies, clone wars rebels, games, and some ocasional book here and there. i guess i really have to read then...

Speaking of casuals, HelloGreedo has put out two new videos talking about the new Mandalorian movie and the Game Of Thrones creators' failed Star Wars project. Even after all that has happened (the disastrous Season 3 of Mando and Ahsoka) he still has some level of excitement for the Mando film and is confidant that Jon Favreau will deliver a good product. Greedo is in denial that Jon has caused just as much damage to the saga as Filoni and Kennedy. In his video on the abandoned Star Wars film, Greedo talks about how he still wants creators to play in the sandbox when it comes to creating more stuff for the brand. Of course, he means for the complete destruction of the established rules and lore of the saga. Please, give the videos a look when you get the chance. I think they will provide plenty of material to riff on. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8BdqLp2zs3DZp8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipimgcWksLjRdIE.html

"There is no Hierarchy of fans" - Matt Wilkins.

You don’t need to read and know it all to see how scummy the act of pretending to be an expert is but claim others are elitists when called out for pretending. I see is behavior everywhere now saying stuff like “as a doctor” “professor here”

Yeah I'd think it's self explanation. Pepleni come across on star wars talk I have to turn and walk away. Just a npc poor babies. Ps I spread the word about phonolnyfan and talk down to them you sir do nothing but a public service thank you.

You know what a filthy casual is? Someone who never read any of the original Marvel comics run of Star Wars. Or someone who never read the original comic strips. Or hasn’t read Splinter of the Minds Eye, the original Han Solo and Lando trilogies, or listened to even one of the Radio Dramas. Also if you saw RotS and weren’t upset that it gave no room for the Droids cartoon (or comic for that matter) to exist between the OT PT, then you are the filthiest of casuals.

the prequels are for filthy casuals... I need muh CGI to like my movies.

My issue with "filthy casuals" I mainly call them normie casual Star Wars "fans" or they should just be called consumers who would blindly consume garbage. (On the side note, I find it funny and ironic that some of these are the same people that criticize and shit on the prequels, but yet give the sequels and other DSW media a pass. Hypocrisy much?) Is that they aren't very smart to either have their own standards and tend to bend the knee to the popular opinion or can't necessarily think for themselves and do their own research and use their own brain. They have to rely on cuck KZfaqrs like RLM, Cosmonaut, the list goes on and on for their opinion. I have many issues with Star Wars fans in general, but that's a different topic. Normie fans are pretty much common in pretty much every fandom. It's why I think gatekeeping is a good thing. Me as a Star Wars fan, while I respect George's six movies. I don't agree with everything he did with the films and some of his decisions with TCW. (Even though some of it also comes down to Filoni as well.) But, I have a very unique opinion when it comes to Star Wars. I've realized that a lot of stories in the EU and the EU in general are better than the films themselves. And the filnms are the weakest part of the franchise when it comes to all this better content that just adds so much more than the films (or any films) could ever hope to dream to do. Whenever people say, that Empire Strikes Back is the best thing ever in Star Wars. I always role my eyes and say no. That goes to things like Kotor 2, Thrawn Trilogy, the Darth Bane books and various other Star Wars EU media.. There is a common opinion that the prequel novelizations are better than the films themselves, and thats something I agree with. While I think the prequels movies were the best they could be, but the books add a lot more context to the films that the films either missed or didn't have time or couldn't to iterate on. Of course a book is going to be better than a film, and that's my point because films are the most restrictive and limited art form, especially live action films and sometimes shows for that matter. It's why I don't really like films that much, especially live action movies/shows for that matter. It's why I think live action movie/show adaptations of anime or cartoons or even books are a bad idea, it's why I think it should either remain it's original material or if it's adaption of a book it should be an animated series instead of a live action movie or a show.

... So basically I'm a filthy casual. Damn 😭 With the exception of not doing research and being real rigid. I've watched most of the movies, read a couple of the books and watched all the shows pre Mando Season 3. I do tend to listen to reviews of the other shows and I listen to a LOT of the Versus stuff from guys like EvanNova95. His stuff, Jensarrai1 and Antoine Bandele were responsible for so many hours of character knowledge for me 😂 I've also played a lot of the games, from Jedi Academy to the original BF2 to Survivor, though Unleashed 1 is my favorite.

Sorry guys late to break it to you but I'm kind of a casual but I can say that the clone wars and the sequel trilogy sucks but I do like the prequels and the tarikovsky's clone wars.

Not a star wars fan, love the universe, the force, and lightsaber fights so I can’t say much on that front. The one thing I do in fact want to bring up is how you explain how a “filthy casual” works. Why do you need to know most to all of the Star Wars lore/stories in order to be a “true” fan? Why can’t they know the basics like from films and games in order to be considered an actual fan? I really hate the term “filthy casual” and “Normie” because it feels like you’re belittle their knowledge instead of helping them get more involved with the fandom. It also feels like gatekeeping because it comes off as the typical “Oh your a ____fan, well name every ____ ever released”, which is the reason why many don’t get involved in fandoms anymore. Overall actually go touch some grass. TL/DR: Not a star wars fan, but people shouldn’t use “filthy casual” & “normie” to belittle & gatekeep people out of fandoms.

“Prone to rigid thought on Star Wars.” So you’re a filthy casual?

I see this happen all the time with shills who think Miles Morales as Spider-Man. Every time I argue with them it is very clear they have never cracked open a comic in their life or done any proper research. Filthy casuals are some of the worst that fandoms have to offer.

Hope you are all having a beautiful day. Jesus loves you, God Bless.

Honest question: Why the fxck do I have to do homework to watch 6 fxcking movies? Why must I spend what is possibly 1 million dollars to buy over 10 000 books that I might not like? Pretty sure George Lucas never intended for an expanded universe to be made. All that matter to him was his movies, you know, what HE created? Third party is just that: THIRD. PARTY. Extra stuff. It shouldn’t be requires to read them. If the movie product requires to read a bunch of books to be read to fully understand a movie, then the movie isn’t good, not is it? This is the same critisim towards the sequels, except those books are made to fix plot holes caused by J J and Rian.

Another Cringequel video I see.

Satire?

In my book there is different level of "casual". LV 0 (not a fan): you just don't like star wars and never care to watch it. You think "laser sword" are stupid LV 1 (general audience): you watched one of the trilogy as it was coming out in cinema at the time because it was popular, but you never really care to watch anything else LV 2 (casual): you've watched most of the 9 movies and enjoyed them for what they were, but never really got deeper than that. LV 3 (Fan): You've watched all of the movies but you also watched the tv shows like clone wars, rebel and Mando. You might have played some of the games, you do love the franchise and its world. LV 4 (Super Fan): not only do you consume Star wars media, but you also go out of your way to watch lore video, read books, write fan fiction, debate online about the philosophy of the force and it's rules. It's a part of you. But then you have sub categories like: -Original trilogy purist who hates everything after the 2000s -Dave Filoni worshipper who mostly loves the cartoon and the prequels. -Sequel trilogy fan who only got into star wars when disney bought it from George -Book reader who loves the expanded universe -George Lucas followers who consider episode 1-6 and the clone wars to be the true canon -Online activist who doesn't watch Star Wars but goes on twitter to call the fans racist and sexist -Disney chill who claps and scream when a cameo shows up in a Disney+ tv show -both side of the youtube world where they either defend and shill for Disney and praise everything they do for gift and interviews. or the haters that complain and hate everything that Disney has ever done for clicks and views.

I'm so happy to have coined the term "Filoni groupies."

Yeah it's very easy to spot someone who doesn't know shit

flithy casual watch 1-9 watch mainstream disney plus show like mandalorian mid at best played only EA Star Wars and Fortnite also preaching for EA make battlefront 3 but never happen after battlefront 2017 at launch care about Star Wars game only in Disney canon Who read marvel Star Wars comic and novel but mediocre/garbage at best probably look up this stuff from wookieepedia who think Expanded universe 90% or 100% garbage who use wookieepedia doing their research not actually do it yourself aka fat lazy bunch who think Dave filoni lord and savior of this franchise who think next George Lucas but he never really be like George Lucas who watch Sellout KZfaqr like Star Wars explained hellogreedo and many other who watch shill KZfaqr like turf nation

Squardron. He shot down twi

-Terrible at Research. Coming from the same guy who didn’t bother to research behind the scenes of TCW and just claims all is Dave Filoni’s fault. He wasn’t even a lead writer. He only wrote 10 (+13 in Disney’s Season 7). He was the director, voice director & executive producer. If you actually did research, you would know this, something youtuber Working Jellyfish did in his ”Ahsoka and the Crimes of Dave Filoni” video. Btw, if you did do research, it was GEORGE LUCAS who created Ahsoka Tano. Not Filoni. Not anyone else. He supervised her character development and saw it was good, and didn’t cope like you by claiming it was ”artificial”

In recent days, I've come to believe that if they complain about a character surviving a lightsaber stab, they're a casual who didn't have the visual dictionary in their middle school library.

🤓

This video is just elitist garbage, touch grass. Sincerely, a fellow EU fan.

I hate to admit it but I'm one of them.

This video is everything wrong with the Star Wars fandom. Demeaning anyone who hasn’t read everything or played every single video game. Calling them filthy casuals and shills just because they like things you don’t like.

I mean specifically for the anyone can use the force camp George said as much. Is it dumb and not make any sense given how basically everyone would use the dark side? Yes. Is his word more canon than basically all novels before selling to Disney? Yes especially considering all novels, comics, and games were canon until he decided if they were or not. I mean look at all the novels that were deleted due to the prequels even existing.

9:56 Well now hold on, that bit about stormtroopers and TIE Pilots simply isn't true. Even though there are some contradicting sources on equipment, TIE fighter pilots and stormtroopers are still said to be elite soldiers in the EU, and the TIE fighter pilot training process especially is supposed to be very gruelling and only 20% of candidates even pass or something along those lines. It is Filoni who has started implying that Stormtroopers and TIE pilots are actually shit (even though in the EU and even in wider Disney Canon this is clearly some weird in-joke amongst the rebels that isn't at all true). Most sources I have read seem to say that the weapons and stormtrooper armour used by the Empire are very effective, and most of the sources that say negative stuff were supposed to be providing an explanation as to why stormtrooper are bad in the films. This is of course unnecessary since it is explained in both Episode 4 and 5, but sometimes a few EU writers would miss some details, but this wasn't a purposeful shitting on Stormtroopers and the Empire like with Filoni. Cosmonaut is still wrong because TIE fighters are shitty ships with pretty bad manoeuvrability even if they are fast, and they have a much too large profile for such a weakly armoured ship, making them easy to hit. Also, Luke clearly does have experience with shooting stuff since he even mentions that he used to shoot womp rats and such (which are probably harder to hit), You are also right that he is ignoring the EU to benefit his arguments, since from the EU we know he used to fly airspeeders with his friends where he would have no doubt fired at womp rats.

This one particular time I was at work, and I happened to be standing near the secretary at the front desk. I had a kind of (for me normal) look on my face of some confusion and uncertainty. She asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?" Without even thinking about it or skipping a beat I replied: "Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock." She just stared at me, blinked, and said "...wut?" Only a real hard-core (nerd) fan would or even could go through life with the elite ability to drop context- appropriate quotes like that, at a moment's notice. Don't even speak to me of "casual" anything.

So to enjoy a movie we have to read and watch all of the content made after the movie was released? Got it, gonna go read the SW bible to understand why jar jar's left nipple caused order 66.

More like upping the standards to make yourself look superior

The original trilogy appealed to casuals because they were simply good movies. Casuals hate both the shitty prequel and sequel trilogy because they both require shitty comic book or novel lore in order to understand and enjoy them lol

So nobody can critique the prequels unless uve read important books, played specific games saw all the movies and watched all the shows......

J.J plagiarism isnt really one to talk about "filthy causals" because what kind of true star wars fan hates the clone wars and tried to shit all over them and then says he is a george only fan. George made the clone wars. So, mr. J.J plagiarism is a major hypocrite that he doesn't really even seem to acknowledge and will probably attempt to sound macho and use some sweet words in his response which just incriminates him as a hypocrite and a "casual" fan himself

This really sounds like gatekeeping. This is unhealthy, touch grass, man. I'm a huge EU fan and I'm not a big fan of Disney Star Wars like almost everybody but you can't talk about casual enjoyers like this. This is childish.

You’re also just too consumed by a made up story that doesn’t matter in real life. Just let people like what they like.

dont care, star wars makes no sense.

I don't care if you have had trouble with trolls in the past as you have stated, *NOTHING* gives you the right to call people casuals if they don't know a lot of star wars or if they like Disney's stuff. It just makes you extremely toxic.
