They do and I'd love to have a better method available to us.
However the meme is a little off.
One party doesn't give a fuck about you, the other actively wishes you harm and works to that end.
They're not "my team" but they're well past "the lesser of two evils" given the other one.
Kaylee might could run circles around most Starfleet engineers, LaForge included, but I bet she'd make B'Elanna uncomfortable with the way she hacked things together to make it work
That seems troublesome
Probably because you were in the wrong franchise not to mention the wrong ship
In weird things I don't need to remember but do the patch notes for that included a change to the self destruct mechanism regarding whether it was only a bluff tactic or you could actually self destruct.
To make things more odd I can't recall which way the change was. I think it was to actually be able to self destruct.
That dress could stand to go a little lower
I'm not convinced they will regardless, but you have a point

I'll echo Stamet's statements (heh). The vitriol for the sequels, if anything, is softer in a lot of ways than it was for the sequels.
Jake Lloyd was massively bullied (by classmates and fans) to the point he wanted nothing to do with any of it. Ahmed Best has been pretty open about considering suicide. Hayden Christensen got a lot of hate as well. It's hard to find raw things from the era unless you happen to know forum links and such. The article below makes it seem a lot smoother but I think the quoted bit helps a little.
[In his home], he has a series of large metal letters that spell out a motto: ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM. “It was a saying among soldiers in World War II,” he explains. “It means ‘Don’t let the bastards get you down.’”
As far as RotJ it's hard to understand how much the die hard fans hated the Ewoks now. Imagine the criticisms you raised above being focused onto a single portion of one movie. The anger I've seen over Canto Bight being unnecessary doesn't even touch it.
It's absolutely an age thing and I'm confident the sequels in twenty years will be largely as received as the prequels are now and you can have this side of the conversation with some young fan upset with the new thing that's ruining all of it.
In which case the article isn't even applicable as it doesn't answer that question.
Why are we still having this conversation? Did you honestly look at that page and feel it was an effective source? Do you still?
Is it? The first claim makes mild reference to the source but nothing further and the second lists no source at all. It's just tacked on at the end.
The whole thing is pretty all over the place honestly.
Maybe one of them is spot on, but with what we have both are functionally useless.
He never saw the propaganda film!
