That's really insightful. So perhaps the 'objects of worship' are in some sense for the worshippers no longer just a piece of art or entertainment, and so cannot be held criticically by them without creating a certain amount of cognitive dissonance. To me (and I imagine many/most adults) rehashing and revisiting a film (e.g such as star wars) and its contents diminishes the film, regardless of how great the film is. There is clearly a different mode that some people enter into whereby it becomes something else, a touchstone for the communal experience, and a piece scripture for their worship. It takes all sorts!
