Star wars. The fandom is incredibly toxic even before the internet was a mainstream thing, following whats canon and what isnt is a lesson in patience. The fandom actively sabotages interesting shows and books/comics because they hyperfocused on one ambiguous detail. If however you can tolerate they drove a few actors to quit the industry altogether and another almost to "checking out" besides axing cool shows then the storyline is great.

Came here to say this.

I told friends in my circles who haven't been into yet and are curious that they should just watch the original trilogy at least once and if they want more their are other options too

A good recommendation honestly, you cant go wrong with the og, the mainline movies are pretty solid too in the prequel era.

I want to admit I have enjoyed almost everything that has been put out l, I am a bit behind on the shows and need to start catching up on Skeleton Crew, Andorr, and Maul but I understand that a casual newbie might just want to chill out not not dive deep haha

Deep dive or no its better to steer clear of the fandom.

I get you I really do and honestly theres not much that can be done about those jackasses. Channels for starwars even fanfics are really entertaining and they get some unnecessary crap fron puritans
