Another case of “all you had to do was understand your demographic”. Don’t crap all over Luke and let him mentor Rey and I guarantee the movie is much better received
I think a panel of competent writers could fix most of the Star Wars swirl trilogy in an afternoon. The problem is the “white board”. You know, the one filled top to bottom with progressive buzzwords that have nothing to do with telling a good story. As long as that white board is in the room, Disney will continue to suck.
Edit: I meant to type “sequel” trilogy, but swirl is better.
I know I'm an EU fan so I am biased, but when they decided to do away with it you would think someone would say "you know those are some of the most hardcore fans, so maybe we should just continue those stories in a separate continuity while having our main canon".
I've seen so many Youtubers give their Sequel Trilogy ideas and they all sound a lot better than what we got. Heck if you just want to cater to the fans and do fan service..... have Luke be the one to catch that lightsabert in TFA and he runs of Kylo Ren who has defeated Rey.
I wonder if it’s even possible to satisfy the progressive white board while telling a good story. Some of those leftist requirements go beyond diversity casting and extend to plot and character requirements that are entirely at odds with good storytelling. It’s one thing to say “half or more of the people in every scene need to be female” and quite another to say “our female lead can never be shown demonstrating weakness or any negative character trait”.

I don't think wokeism can ever be satisfied
