Vent: My film club won't even consider the official sources on that director's cut.

They're so caught up in wild theories. We need to base our talks on what's actually out there, not just guesses.

You said they're caught up in "wild theories." Which ones are they actually stuck on? Like, are they arguing about a deleted scene that was never filmed, or saying the studio forced a change that the director has openly said was their idea? A concrete example would help, because sometimes the official source is just a studio press release that's not totally honest either.

What gets me is the Rey parentage stuff from the Star Wars sequels. For years people were sure she had to be a Kenobi or a Solo, building these huge proofs from tiny background details. When the movie finally said she was a Palpatine, whole YouTube channels that built their brand on the old theories called it a last minute studio rewrite, even though the director said it was always the plan. They just refused to let their own pet idea go, even with the person who made the thing telling them straight up. It's like the answer was too simple, so they had to make it a conspiracy.

Exactly what the_charlie said about studio statements! People get so stuck on small details they miss the big picture. It's like the whole "original author's intent" debate, where fans will fight forever over one line, even when the writer says what they meant. You see this everywhere, not just in movies. Folks just pick a side and dig in, ignoring any proof that doesn't fit.
