ok, so what show or movie have you influenced then?
Just for Star Trek alone, I was part of the fan groups who helped STMP to come to the big screen. Back then, there was no internet so that meant physically going to Paramount, writing and printing actual letters, meeting with other fans, and it was fun! The movie got made, and the Star Trek movie franchise owes it's existence to fans. I was also part of the fan resistance group AGAINST certain things I saw in The Next Generation, but then later joined the campaign to change things within the show. I opened fan websites (not just this one), wrote reviews, asked questions at the panels and continue to be part of the actively participating fandom in many other movie productions and TV shows. These little involvements added up equal CHANGE in the Star Trek product up until 2009 when CBS took over and gave that relationship the middle finger. Still, I have been an active, vocal fan for decades.
There are other shows and movies I have either worked on the actual productions as support personnel or participated in groups directly communicating with writers and executives. I have actively sought out and gotten jobs with the Industry to be close to the media productions I love. I opened Gatefans, I financially supported, hosted and designed SGUS and eventually I got my current job in the TV broadcast industry which one in a string of several Industry related jobs I have had and sought out. I even lived with one of my dream actresses from Star Trek. There is too much to go over to answer your question. Suffice it to say I have been part of influencer groups in the media Industry for the greater part of my life.
Star Wars just does not do any of that. There were never groups guiding the Star Wars story. Instead of getting Lucasfilm to respond to any requests (because SW fans did not make any), the fans created their own made up additions to the SW universe to explain plotholes and inconsistencies, and did not take any of that to Disney. George Lucas became aware of the EU early on, but the EU was not any sort of campaign. Star Wars fans are only now organizing because of what happened in The Last Jedi. The massive negative response is what has brought JJ back and removed Rian Johnson from Episode IX and possibly caused his trilogy to be canceled.
Star Wars fans have been passive and inert with Star Wars. They are kept in the dark and then the showrunners serve their product and SW fans simply start eating. The dynamic that exists with Doctor Who, Star Trek, The Expanse, Firefly and even Stargate with fans organizing and demanding changes and tweaks to the shows or revivals of shows is not there for Star Wars.
I hope I answered your question.
