I found this article about Star Wars fandom where it gives an interesting point about what a Star Wars fan actually is and it turns out that we hate Star Wars. This seems a bit odd since the whole point of being a fan in the first place is to say "I love this and I'm proud of it". Not to say Sat Wars fans aren't "proper" fans, quite the opposite, but more that they are so passionate about something they love that when something happens that doesn't sit well with them there's going to be uproar about it. For example, the "Han Shot First" fiasco, Mitichlorians, or even the whole of the prequels. The article ends with a very fitting conclusion:
"Maybe I'll put it like this. To be a Star Wars fan, one must possess the ability to see a million different failures and downfalls, and then somehow assemble them into a greater picture of perfection. Every true Star Wars fan is a Luke Skywalker, looking at his twisted, evil father, and somehow seeing good."
