Bad Quail Games // G. Michael Truran

. . . there are two kinds of Star Wars fans:¹

• Fans who see Star Wars first as a mythic universe of good and evil, heroes and villains. Fairy tales in space.
• Fans who see Star Wars first as a believable, lived in space.

The first sort of fan reacts badly to shows like Andor that depict a grittier, more everyday Star Wars as well as media that shows the Jedi as flawed, like the prequels and The Acolyte.²

For what it's worth, I'm personally in the later category, but don't think either perspective is necessarily wrong. I think a major strength of the franchise is the synthesis of the mundane and the mythic.

1. There ware way more than two kinds of Star Wars Fans.

2. I don't think The Acolyte is good, but not because of anything to do with how it depicts Jedi. I'm also not sure I'd say I don't like it; just that I don't think it's particularly competently executed.

It's hard enough on these streets for a little round ball like me without pressure like this.

P.S., I looked to make sure and the top Google results are our exchange about said lack of Karis Nemik figure 5 months ago.
