While I’m at it, I’m going to go ahead and “come out”. For the past five years I have witnessed official creators/artists/writers/producers/actors/fellow artists publicly attack people like myself. I am an individual of Christian faith, someone who believes strongly in...
The ability of individuals to express their beliefs (no matter how ignorant I may believe they are) freely without fear of retribution. (Loss of job etc)...
When Disney SW began utilizing characters we’ve known for 40 years as tools in their desire to engage in a culture war instead of prioritizing great storytelling that will capture lifelong fans attention, I began to lose interest. First it was in the literature...

I am truly done with modern Star Wars. I don’t care about it, I don’t anticipate it, and I don’t support ANY fans who enjoy seeing anyone deplatformed, or removed from their jobs for expressing their beliefs....
To clarify, I am fine with businesses making a decision they feel is best, but good grief you better apply it even handedly. Otherwise you are simply revealing your cards on who you prefer your customer base to be....
