MovieMan89 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Star Wars is a YA franchise In what sense? YA is supposed to target the teen demo specifically. SW has never zeroed in on that demo. If it zeroed in on any one demo in particular in the past, it's been kids. But it's always been like the Disneyland of franchises. Marketed to all ages to come and enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemunster Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hey, give Liam Hemsworth some credit, he plays the character with amazing accuracy. Gale's every bit as interesting as a block of wood in the books too. And yeah, there's really not much of a "triangle" in the books or movies. If you don't know who she romantically loves and who she loves in a brotherly sense by now you haven't paid attention at all. Yesssssss...... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 HP has always been and will always be Children's fantasy/literature. Rowling herself will tell you that. Yes a ton of adults and teens got into it, but it doesn't change the genre it is. And Marvel are comic books and SW is just sci-fi. YA Fiction is stuff like THG, Twilight, Divergent, Mortal Instruments, Vampire Academy, Maze Runner, etc... Potter is classified as YA, and Rowling herself has even said that she knew why so many adults started to really enjoy it was because of how darker and mature it became. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 YA has little to do with targeting a specific demographic, and everything to do with the types of struggles faced by it's characters. Star Wars does not count as YA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YA Fiction is stuff like THG, Twilight, Divergent, Mortal Instruments, Vampire Academy, Maze Runner, etc... Disney didn't buy Star Wars because it's just sci-fi but because it sells a lot of toys. It's because Disney wanted a strong YA franchise. Same with Marvel. Just sci-fi is Interstellar or Star Trek (although Trek pulled out the occasional YA entry). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
