The Star Wars Fanbase Is Too Toxic.

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2019)

I saw Star Wars: A New Hope when I was 11 years old. I was not yet cynical or had an adult perspective opinion.
I saw Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker yesterday, and I am 52 years old. I left my cynicism and adult perspective at home, and watched the movie as if I was 11 years old again.
I have done this with all the Star Wars films, and I know people say this till the cows come home but the Star Wars movies are inherently children's films.
Now, some fanboys and fangirls haven't really worked this out in their narrow minds, and have turned the online Star Wars fan base into a poisonous soup of bitterness and toxicity which in essence spoils Star Wars.
It is such a shame that this has happened especially with the advent of the internet two decades ago, turning all these bitter fanboys and fangirls into legends (in their own minds) online, stirring up bullying, hate and division in Star Wars fandom.
I haven't a bad word to say about The Rise Of Skywalker, and I haven't a bad word to say about the rest of the Star Wars films (Or TV shows) either.
I know that the bitter & twisted hideous elements of Star Wars fandom won't go away, but those of us who really love the films when watching them with the child-like eyes we had when young will forever be the light in the darkness of toxic Star Wars fandom ...
