A lifelong SW fan | EU reader for 26+ years | I share my considerable Star Wars lore knowledge | review & recommend books | interview authors | podcast
Hey guys. I'm Ben. I read Star Wars for 25+ years. Here's my beginner's Top List, brief summary of Canon & Legends timeline, and how to start reading today!
NOTE: Feel free to ask questions and recommend your own titles!
STAR WARS WAS FOR EVERYONE SINCE 1977
✔️It's NOT your therapy session
✔️It's NOT your sex life reflection
✔️It's NOT your activist platform
Stop race bating fans. Tell good stories with universal themes. Stop devisive identity politics and your moral posturing.

George Lucas' Star Wars always had

☑️Talented Female Writers
☑️Merit-based Casting

Level headed and true to his fans. I don’t have to agree with everything he says to trust his opinions are genuine. Not purchased with DLF red carpet invitations.
@sw_holocron
1. He is the creator, he gets to change things around at his discretion.
2. Disney has incrimentally, maliciously pushed their "slight" changes until the IP is barely recognizable now.
3. When you claim to "preserve" GL's legacy but trample his work, and call out dissenting fans
To the attention of,
Every "Disney is not woke, you are just a bigot" fan out there. Wake up. There is no room for D.E.I poison in Star Wars.

@WallStreetSilv
NO SYMPATHY, LET ACOLYTE 🔥
These "creatives" had the gall to call George Lucas' Star Wars patriarcal, and sexist, doubling down on the fans calling them "bigots" a week in advance of the show's pemiere. Reap what you saw ladies!
💫Star Wars Fans 1983💫
We bickered, argued, laughed, and cried together. We loved each other. I've seen it at the Game Store I managed for 13+ years. Nerd culture was healthy in 00's until Disney thought we needed their bullshit opressed struggle.
Repost if you agree 🔃 D.E.I

Did you mean an asian developer with integrity that didn't kneel to DEI cult of personality?
Great job on communicating with your audience by disabling comments

If memory serves, before GL pulled this artwork from the Topps Card roster she still remained a nameless "Mother of Twins". GL specifically requested not to print it because he already had plans for upcoming Prequels.

Keep doing your thing! Star Wars fans got your back. Those of us who come from decades of EU, and those who enjoy some modern Star Wars.
@WookOfficial
is cesspool of narcissistic activists!
IS REVAN A HE OR A SHE?
What do you guys think?
First, a clarification. Legends & Canon timelines are separate. With Revan's name barely a name drop, he is irrelevant in this conversation as a canon "character". Everything significant we know of Revan exists between the

trilogy I ever read around the time I finished high school. My English wasn't good. I had a dictionary by my side to grasp more complex scenes but it was well worth it. Never liked TLC's "clone galore" finale but loved them anyway!

NOTE: Please keep it friendly and on the topic.
@SCentralized
Dude, DLF was horning about misoginy and smashing patriarchy since the show's announcement. Instead of focusing on the show's quality. When you maliciously attack George's legacy and antagonize his fans, they will let you know.
@IGN
Maybe leave Star Wars out of culture war?
Maybe understand it's core audience?
Maybe focus on good stories, not pandering?
One show got it right...
Do you want Gina Carano back in Star Wars?
🔵YES. She inspired me. She didn't say anything bad. Disney should give her a 2nd chance.
🔴 NO. Cara Dune is forgettable. I want no conroversies in my shows.

Expanded Universe is a 40yo treasure trove of stories that inspired & informed most filmmakers who you❤️today! It can be intimidating and easy to brush off. Give it a chance. Trust me you won't be disappointed.
Which character's SACRIFICE means a LOT to you in Star Wars?
NOTE: Letting go is a recurring theme in SW. Different heroic sacrifices touch us all. It's a sensitive topic. I ask you, please be respectful to all views.
@realswtheory
I managed a comic/game shop in Bronx, NYC for 13+ years. Nerds are the kindest, most open minded, social people. They reverently protect franchises they love. Does that make them homophobes? 🤔
