You make it sound so arbitrary.
Everything that comes in the first third of your life/fandom is normal, how things should be, how they always were.
The second third is new and exciting.
The third third is the downfall of the franchise, not worthy of the name.
The length of these “thirds” can vary but that’s the gist of it.
Interesting. Good for you you skipped the toxic stuff
“Momo” is a book you can read as a kid (hence easy to read) but so deep, you will only get it as an adult
Sorry for your loss

If 275 is half of 550, then what is half of 275?

Because people who always ask “why” don’t achieve anything. Did you get nothing out of the story above?
As a kid, I had a book about a kid always asking “why?” and at some point, aliens came to conquer the earth. While everybody was freaked out, the kid just continued asking “why?”. “To exploit earth’s resources” “to conquer other words” “to exploit their resources too” “to conquer other galaxies” “to further our rule” “to conquer… well I see now that it’s all meaningless and we go home now.”
This is a story every child should read and don’t ask me why, it just is.
In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets, and steal loaves of bread.

Star Wars started as a metaphor for the Vietnam war (with the US as the bad guys). In The Force has always been a lot of philosophy. Just because you didn’t get it as a kid, doesn’t mean it was silly.
And I say that as a trekkie who never really liked Star Wars but I see why people do and can appreciate it
