New Star Wars series The Acolyte

Lightsaber whips were already in starwars, so was cortosis materials. People being mad at these things are probably not comic book enjoyers and are movie/show only people. Vader fought someone using a cortosis blade in the comics and had his saber shorted out.

I think what happens is that bc SW started as movies, people want movies to be default canon/lore - like since Marvel started as comics, few bat an eye when Spider-Man’s suit has just so features- but so much SW ‘fans’ hold original trilogy as ORIGINAL text
And I get the strong feeling that they operate similar to people who argue for originalist positions of the constitution- they know it’s an absurd position, but they also know it has the sheen of purity and for whatever reason we elevate purity even though we all know there’s little to no value in it
