One thing is for damn sure, this article did not speak to us, SWAG77. Here’s the article: http://observer.com/2018/05/star-wars-fandom-toxic-disney-lucasfilm/

Why we help is beyond us? Some folks are ungrateful.

But when fandom calls, we are eager to help anyway we can. A fan artist created a great image of a lead character in Star Wars. We just felt that a few people at Lucasfilm should know about it and see it. So we shared it with our one contact with no promises. Let’s hopeContinue reading “Why we help is beyond us?

Hello, Dr. G- speaking. Owner of Star Wars Actors Guild 77 under Ariafya LLC. The history of our tiny fan group is listed on SWAG77.com should you be interested. There is no need to prove more of it here. Since our last cyberharassment attack by hateful individuals on Tumblr that fail to support Star WarsContinue reading

Sounds like some #StarWars fan groups… Some that think fundraising overrides their iniquities toward fans.

SW Celebration 2017 with SWAG77!

Dear #StarWars Fan Police: Overpolicing Star Wars Fandom Brutality, Fans express their fandom uniquely. It is a personal choice. There is no one way to pursue fandom. Being a fan is about camaraderie and fun. It is about freedom of expression and exchange of ideas so that we all revel in delight. Fans come atContinue reading

Fans did something to change #StarWars and no troll will ever take it away

The #GetThrawnIn campaign to get Grand Admiral Thrawn re-canonized started in January, 2015 after a troll attack. We had just finished interviewing Tom Kane, the voice actor for Yoda in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and I asked him to do a Thrawn impression. That’s when I knew, Thrawn needed to be on Star Wars.

Then the trolls attacked me trying to put me down on social media. Typical racist misogynoirity fare. The doxed me. That’s when I said to myself, “you want to see how to do a corporate campaign, WATCH ME!”

I don’t think these fools get it, you ain’t getting into the Star Wars game if you don’t understand the rules of it and you’re not playing it…

islesanctuary: empirestrikesblack: I’ve been in the Star Wars game for 7 years. 2 Celebrations. Several podcasts. A few Youtubes. 4 letters to Lucasfilm, with responses. And one successful campaign to get Thrawn in re-canonized. There are laments online about how Black characters are being disparaged in Star Wars. Let me let your in on aContinue reading “I don’t think these fools get it, you ain’t getting into the Star Wars game if you don’t understand the rules of it and you’re not playing it…”

There were quite a few #StarWars fans that really worked hard on this campaign to get #Thrawn in #StarWarsRebels

getthrawnin: From the Dakotas to Canada to Florida to the UK to California – several fans promote all our posts for the betterment of fandom. Thank you to them, especially during a time when the owner’s family was in peril and sick in the hospital to a time with no funds to make it happen.Continue reading “There were quite a few #StarWars fans that really worked hard on this campaign to get #Thrawn in #StarWarsRebels”

Trust: we love SOME fan art

But we need more conceptualization. When you ONLY draw what you’ve seen it shows you’ve not read and you’re not well read. This is why EU fans are angry, because ALL their art was from a book cover and a description of maybe what a character looks like. No games. No nothing. Just a bookContinue reading “Trust: we love SOME fan art”
