Why "Fan Service" Is A Dumb Term

from Page Turners They Were Not · host Brennen Marr

Today I have the temerity (or perhaps audacity) to discuss "fan service", which is a term that has come to have a negative connotation in fan discussions. It is my opinion that it is a silly phrase that needs to go away, or at least return to its literal meaning. Join me as I give you a few thoughts on why this is a troubling issue in the online discourse of Star Wars and many other franchises.
