Part 9/11:
Neon and Geeky Sparkles emphasize that Star Wars fans crave authentic storytelling reminiscent of the original films—simple, character-driven, and respectful of the mythology. The proliferation of spin-offs, new shows, and merchandise driven by corporate greed has only watered down the franchise’s core appeal and driven fans away.
They suggest that the franchise’s only hope lies in returning to its roots, focusing on stories about Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and the original themes that made Star Wars a cultural phenomenon. Without that, they worry Disney risks permanently devaluing the franchise—further dumping merchandise into landfills and eroding its legacy.
