Which is surprising, as you seemed to be fretting over developments in an apparently interminable science-fiction cashcow.
The fact that I prefer reality simply indicates that I want to be aware of the truth of a situation, rather than a fictional alternative of it, created to obscure or change the authenticity of the original set of circumstances. The fact that I prefer it does not mean that I automatically approve of it or like it in any way. I simply do not wish to exist in some form of self-delusional state.
It is that very same reality that might cause me to "fret over developments in an apparently interminable science-fiction cash-cow". I refer to the reality in which it is created - the cast, the crew and so forth. However, if there is "an interminable science-fiction cash-cow" that I fret about, it is most certainly not the STAR WARS franchise.
Key word, fiction. Key implication, optional.
Fiction is not the only thing that can be optional. Reality can be too. One can attempt to deny it, or avoid it all together. It simply depends upon how determined one is to accomplish this. Of course, that does not mean that reality ceases to exist.
As I previously indicated, this is not a goal that I share.
OK, reject the alternative (pretend) reality I offered you by way of comfort and consolation, but don't pretend any of it really matters.
If I enjoy a work of fiction, then I am interested in it and very likely care about it to some degree. This means that it does matter - at least to me. Really.
However, the STAR WARS franchise has never been in this category. I may have liked it a bit - but it was a very, very small bit.
A simple thank you for trying to help would have done nicely.
For what?
You have done nothing to earn one. There was no problem that needed solving.
