From Prequelists to Reylos, these are the 9 definitive types of Star Wars fans

Star Wars fans don’t get along. The fandom has been called toxic and divided, and many times, it’s lived up to that stereotype. But I, for one, count the diversity of the fanbase as a positive. It’s what’s led to the wide range of stories, genres, and media types over the years, each generating its own small base of fans.
