>hehe may the FOURTH be with you
why do chads and staceys have to appropriate the few hobbies and interests that we have? why can't they just be interested in other things? why even bother if they are just going to pretend to like something instead of truly like it?
Star Wars has had mass appeal since its inception. Its not some nieche nerd thing. It's one of the most popular franchises ever since the 70's. Wtf are you even talking about.
Star Wars has been a significant cultural and economic force for almost 40 years now, so of course you're going to find shallow nods to it in the mainstream. Every body knows it, a good deal like it, and an even greater deal just like referencing things.

>Me and the 3 "nerds" I knew saw Episode 3 at midnight in 6th grade
>Were talking about it together the next day at school before class
>Get laughed at
>Those same people today probably jumped on Episode 7 because it was mainstream now

Dubs confirm.
Star Wars is not a nerdy hobby. It never was.

Star Wars has always been normie as fuck, don't pretend otherwise.

this
people pretending that star wars was always normie are deluding themselves

Star Wars is one of the most normie tier interests a person can have, do you think Chads who play COD are appropriating nerd culture?
Stargate is the best scifi beginning with the word star. Excluding atlantis and season 9 and 10 of sg1.

Adjusted for inflation, the original Star Wars (now Episode IV) is the third highest grossing movie in history.

Nigga, what the fuck?
I only went to see Episode 3 because literally my whole classroom already saw it and wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.

It was originally simply titled "Star Wars".
People who say star wars was normie from the beginning are right. But, the nerds were the ones dressing up as the characters, going to conventions, getting invested into the lore, and just getting obsessed with it. Those were the ones getting picked on for being a nerd back in the day.
It's the same with anime and other shit people complain about normies taking over. The normies stay at the surface, never wanting to invest in the hobby. That's why normies only watch shit like Dragon Ball or One Piece and not Idolshit or stuff like Lain.
Normies have, and will always be apart of "nerd" culture. But, they will never see the appeal of going past the surface level, garbage tier stuff. Just let the normies have their fun while you sperg out about it on the Internet in your secret clubhouse meetings.

The face of star wars is pretty fucking dull and meh.
When you get passed the movies its interesting enough like the mega empire that kills off the jedi and sith.
