nah i think the entire "casual fan"/"super fan" dichotomy is fucked. like, this is a giant, huge film, shown all over the world, to hundreds of millions of people, over decades, there are going to be way more casual fans than super fans.
IMO you can feel however you want about the movies. but shitting on people for not following a movie closely enough or whatever is really lame. it's the worst. SW was built on encouraging the popular imagination. going against that (IMO a lot of ST does this) is cynical and destructive and only encourages similar behavior. gatekeeping needs to leave the series IMO.
plus, i dunno maybe Han Solo will be a force ghost in the next film? they can retcon is force connection as easily as TLJ retconned being able to die from using the force. it's all just made up bullshit at this point, why even cling to the idea that "Han Solo would never be a Jedi"? SW is whatever the guy writing/directing the current entry decides it is. if Solo turns out a secret Jedi (and at this point he already turned out to have secretly funded the rebellion) it would be entirely within their rights, cos they own the copyright. it's like two peasants fighting over a plot of land while the king decides to just take it for themselves.
