I feel for the Star Wars folks, because... unfortunately, they cannot create as big of a momentous impact as Malfoid did.
Why? There are various specific and non-replicable reasons.
1) Star Wars is big, but despite how big it is, it is *NOT* Harry Potter Big. Harry Potter as a series sits at #4 of complete stories of all time, behind THE BIBLE, THE QURAN and THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO.
2) The addition of a female Draco to replace Male Draco actually fixes various hanging plot points within the Harry Potter Universe and by extension of that, vastly improves the story itself. Star Wars reaching for if Anakin had convinced Padme, or killed the emperor himself, or any other such decisions actively changes the course of the story fundamentally... whereas Malfoid amplifies and improves already current plot all the way through the end without subtracting anything from the overall story.
3) Malfoid had the benefit of synergizing with several traditional fictional conventions, not least of which is the Chivalric Mytho-Poetic Romance, in combination with a deuterogonist Heroe's Journey in reflection of Harry Potter... the two main characters contrasting and complimenting every aspect of the others character.
4) The appeal of Harry Potter is in that it can be many, many things at once. It can be a comedy, it can be a touching romance, it can be a serious plot driven story focusing on the elements from the original book. It can be cute and unserious, retain silly comic stylizations for kids as well as include dark momens such as Sectum Sempra, FiendFyre, Harry's death. It has flexibility in its presentation, and thus it captures an incredibly broad audience.
5) Whereas Star Wars is predicated on an archetypal heroes journey, Harry Potter does this too... but in addition to harkening to the memories of innocence and school age growth and change which echoes in the hearts of both young and old as very strong, attached memories, both good and bad.
6) There are more overt biblical and Christian references within Harry Potter... and Christianity is the 2nd largest religion on earth.
The fact that it can cover all these things singularly and by itself explains why it hit as hard as it did... and why, in my honest opinion, the Anakin posting (While popular) has less legs than Malfoid.

My tl became all wholesome Malfoid memes and Star Wars right wing memes about how the empire was right and the jedi were evil.
Chuds are winning a cultural war here.
Undoing what years of decadence and woke ideas damaged
@amazaruki@archeosophy Totally agree. I've called out some of them and then my TL has been flooded by their goon baiting shit. Now, I just click on "not interested" button when I see this garbage and move on. All yearners should do the same.
