Butler sit down to discuss The Current State of our Fandom, and if it has become to toxic for its own good! So strap in and tighten your crash webbing Fandom, Star Wars Beyond the Films is setting off on another rapid-fire trip into that galaxy far, far away!

This episode your hosts Ponder these topic points:

  • This is a sharing episode Beyonders, Mark and Nate get deep. Not just taking a look at the state of our Fandom, but how it has evolved to the point it currently is, and share some lighter, and darker points in their lives.
  • THE END OF AN ERA: Nate’s Star Wars Timeline Gold ends after over 21 years of chronicling Star Wars timeline.
  • Nate’s original YouTube Video explaining why: The End of the Star Wars Timeline Gold: Three Reasons and a Lot of Saltiness
  • Nate has some good news!
  • They start with a simple question “Fandom: Toxic or Non-Toxic?” and the conversation evolves from there.
  • When did “Agree to disagree” get exchanged for “full on intolerance”?
  • Looking at obligations, and the lonely-personal existence some of us find ourselves in.
  • When do fans go too far? One thing both hosts agree on; when people go out of their way to ruin things for others on purpose, you’ve crossed that line.
  • What are “Alt-Legends” Fans? – a friendly reminder of what it means, and why it is necessary to distinguish the difference between regular Legends fans, and the Alt-Legends fans.
  • They also look at the concept of “voting with your money”
  • Mark makes a point using the differences in the Pledge of Allegiance and how outlooks and upbringings could play a part of today’s state of our Fandom.
  • They ask: Is the Toxicity affecting you?
  • Ewoks, Care-Bears, and lolly-pops…
  • And so much more.

    • Once more your hosts cover entirely too much Deep Pondering action this episode. But don’t worry, give it a go; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you might even get a little education on Star Wars while you’re at it. But no matter how you slice it and dice it, you’ll be having another adventure Beyond the Films. So sit back, hang on, enjoy the show, and may the Force be with you!
