    Sometimes a story becomes a saga, which then becomes a franchise, which then becomes a genre, which then becomes a medium.

    Star Wars has gone beyond that; it’s become its own economy, where it’s even spawning industries of its own. And one of those industries (which sucks) are Star Wars reaction/outrage merchants, who live off the crumbs of Star Wars by appealing to people who don’t even like the damn thing.
