The only way it will get worse is if they put a Jeet Foid in charge.
Reddit got worse largely because Pao was pushed out by users. It made it clear to the admins that they needed to replace the userbase with more compliant and easily led NPCs. Sure enough the purge of libertarian elements started shortly afterwards.
Same thing happened with mod "blackouts". Admins pretended to listen while behind the scenes they simply worked to ban and neuter attempts at protest.
The board installed Pao, made a bunch of controversial changes, "responded to user outrage" by sacking her. Got their new censorship-friendly reddit even as they were hailed as saviours. Scapegoating 101.
The original trilogy was pretty sweet and imaginative. The EU books had some cool ideas and characters. Like frick man if you're gonna kill a fan-favorite character, they should get to go out by something as cool as crashing a moon into them. Everything else has sucked butt.
Return of the Jedi was slop created to peddle Ewok plushies. I am old enough to actually remember the 80s and everyone knew this at the time. I also remember that kids in the 80s quickly forgot about Starshit without the internet to constantly ram it down our throats. On the other hand we kept getting our moms to rent the Rocky films, Aliens and Nightmare on Elm Street years after they were released.

I don't think that's historically accurate. In the '90s we all loved it because there was still nothing with better special effects. Well at least with better special effects and better storytelling in general.
I was a astar wars kid in the 90s when they had those micro machine sets. The best space battles still belong to the original trilogy like nothing is much better even with 40 years later. Return of the Jedi was slop but it had a huge dedicated fanbase long after the orignial films ended

A critic I like argued that without the prequel trilogy being so awful, people would probably not like star wars as much, which is an interesting idea.
The EU was full of random trash, some of the comics were the worst about it, I though Disney throwing a bunch of it out was a great idea at the time, so that they could then go back and cherry pick what wasn't r-slurred.
Sure, maybe, but they also bought Marvel. Consider all the decades of backstory and alternate timeline shit that exists within it. I don't think Disney ever just came out and said that none of THAT counts anymore. I think you can get to a place where there is so much material that you don't need to say it's now invalid, you simply treat it as such and/or work around it.
I was hopeful that they were going to do what they did with Marvel. Adapt what was good, or even maybe leave it in a grey area like some of the games. Comic books for years have had multiverse bullshit.
My memory of Ellen Pao is before I ever went on Reddit I was playing Battlefield 4 Golmud Railroad and somebody said "Ellen Pao looks like a shoe". When I found out who she was, I could confirm this fact.
Tbf I've been in this situation before and it's really easy to just imagine he's not fricking the 17-year old girl. It's only like 10 years later that you realize "ohhhh that was obviously going on right in front of me".

Watch as Starshit generally continues to be just as uninspired and tedious as it's always been.
Remember when Ellen Pao left Reddit and it actually got worse?

They were going to have a Pakistani documentarian make the Rey movie, so the steps were already there in Kennedy's plan.

Did anyone you know play the Star Wars, Ghostbusters or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPGs?
Sidenote: Ghostbusters was good but I'm still shocked at the huge cult following. It was just 2 movies and a cartoon that I don't know the quality of.
