I have a theory that the more lore a franchise has, the more of an autistic fanbase it has. I made a graphic about it. (lemmy.ml)

Star Wars has too much broad appeal to be that high on the autism list

You wouldn't say that if you had a conversation with somebody about lightsaber forms. EU contains MASSIVE autism. Filoni stuff is pretty autistic too and that's the new core of the franchise.

The problem is measuring the absolute amount of autism and not the amount of autism relative to the fan base.

I don't know how anyone can say that Star Wars has more lore than Star Trek. They both have about the same number of movies and books, but Star Trek has hundreds more episodes of TV to expand the lore even further.
