I have legit never understood this. Aside from not having any fucking nostalgia at all for being a child (zero agency, things decided for you, school is worse than most jobs) I grew up with George Lucas' dumb fuckin scifi property. I still have the DVDs we got to replace the old videotapes, the Silver ones with the laserdisc rips. I played a bunch of the games, had a few of the Dark Horse comics, and the end result is... The original trilogy are fun 70s scifi with some cool themes and reallly impressive effects work. I'll never not keep rips of 4K77, 4K80 and 4K83 or the Despecialised versions around, but that's about it. No harsh to classic EU stuff, I'm sure the Thrawn trilogy and stuff are cool, but I do not understand the relentless brand loyalty combined with "everything was better when I was ten years old" that these people experience.
