I’ve missed something from not being around nerd culture roughly from GTA3 until 2022. What’s the deal with Anakin? Back in the day the prequels were regarded as a limp continuation of the classic movies and the only people who were deep into the lore were the kind of hopeless nerds who read the Star Wars books. I guess a new generation has been raised in the ~25 years since that’s grown up with the prequels being equivalent movie canon? In 20 years, will the online right be embracing Kylo Ren and whoever the bad guys are in Game of Thrones? They like Anakin because he’s evil and it’s an extension of “the Empire were the good guys”, right?
