This dude's favorite star wars is the one with magic swords he saw when he was five.

Does that matter?

Thing of it is, Andor is the only star war that excites me today the way magic swords, robots, and wizard space knights excited me when I was five.

Those things still excite me! I am a fantasy geek. But they don't blow my mind, becaus I've had them since I was five.

Aye, I'd argue if someone is unable to revisit/critically appraise the much-beloved originals; that's what may bring their Star Wars love into question. I hugely respect what was raised in the OG movies (for the time) - something certain modern SW builds upon & improves. Nostalgia only goes so far.

Also i'm sure this "real" Star Wars fan probably didn't even watch The Acolyte

nerds on the internet who got their first boner when Leia was in the metal slave bikini: "this is the best star wars has ever been 🤓"

Well ACTUALLY the best Star Wars has ever been was the pre special edition 1997 version on VHS (or whatever Gen X nerds were upset about George Lucas for)

There was definitely a special feeling to be 12 and watching Jabba’s Palace on the big screen together with a bunch of friends

I thin there's kind a bit of poetry in gate-keeping fandomers: your ruling over a 1ft space in a desert, but BY GOD ITS WITH AN IRONFIST

I read that in the Bryan Quimby "Guys" voice (or RLM's Mike Stoklasa, depending on your point of reference).
