The worldbuilding is already fucked, they're past the point of no return, and IMO that's even worse for a franchise than beating the audience over the face with a political hammer because it's even harder to recover from ruining the logic and coherency of an IP compared to just making products which are shitty on their own without contaminating everything around them.
I don't think the worldbuilding is fucked because the whole "high republic" thing could always be scraped and whoever succeeds KK could focus on the old republic era
It goes beyond just the issue of the high republic, they've completely changed how hyperspace works which causes problems in a wide variety of situations, they've introduced insane force powers into the films such as force necromancy, anything that takes place after TROS has to account for the fact that the firepower of a deathstar has become so miniaturized that it's feasible to create a fleet of planet killing star destroyers, force lightning can take out entire fleets, there are a wide variety of armor materials suitable to be worn now, it's now possible to create force powered clones, and plenty of other things I'm neglecting to mention.
Disney have managed to kill off the EU adopt all the worst practices of the EU into their mainline entries and never established a system of cannon similar to that which was previously created by Lucas to define what over rules what to keep alive a cohesive universe that at least mostly made sense.
But with a transvestite in the lead role, Star Wars is just done... not only a transvestite but a fucking youtuber of all things... and not only a youtuber but an insufferable prick... there is no other way around it, Lucasfilm did it on purpose...
I disagree about the IP being done, the tranny taint is isolated in whatever entries include it, the worst damage it can do is establish degenerate cultural norms to be a thing in star wars, but that doesn't ruin the ability for engaging storytelling. It's Disney shitting in the mouth of their consumers, but it's more of a meta shit in the mouth of the consumer.
TLJ damaged things up in universe in addition to insulting us out of universe, we don't know how much damage this show will do to the universe and we're out of beloved classic characters to ruin, the closest we have left is Mon Mothma, but that's almost exclusively due to the character work Disney themselves did with Andor(still not sure how it was allowed to get through the cracks without turning into high action sludge) and I'm sure they'll screw up season 2 regardless.
Oh shit, one more thing I thought of. In Mando season 1 they basically made everybody able to be tracked from anywhere in the galaxy by their genetics by introducing these magic tracking beacons that all bounty hunters seem to have so that's some more damage disney did that I'd consider large scale
