I know we’ve all said our piece about Last Jedi but this is a good summary.

The media couldn’t stop gushing over it and I remember the “you are just mad because your theories were wrong”. They have zero understanding about nerd culture and the theories I heard were much better than what we got. Also the whole subversion crap started with this or attacking fans who wanted to see more about Snoke or wanted to see a heroic Luke.
If a moderately reasonable person ran that company they would’ve said we are not having Luke Skywalker be some grumpy hermit.
I remember a Last Jedi fan got upset with me for saying I prefer what the expanded universe did with Star Wars. He called me a fake fan and said it’s just fan fiction that George Lucas didn’t care about
I seem to recall Disney giving The Snap to the entire EU, too, but somehow that doesn't count, does it? Then KK herself said that they're struggling to write stories because they 'don't have some big history of stories to pull from like comic books do.' Un-fucking-real. This is literal propaganda at this point.
In a way she was right. Disney axed the entirety of the extended universe when they took ownership so they could write their own stories. We should’ve realized then it was going to be a train wreck.
But complaining about zero source material when you destroyed all the source material is some high level bullshittery.
I mean, she's a stupid entitled bitch that was never even that good at getting coffee (there's no proof, but I 100% believe that she was only ever good at sucking cock), riding the coattails of people far more talented into a position of creative direction.
Blaming the world for the consequences of her idiot decisions is just about par for the course.
And I couldn’t believe the person interviewing her didn’t bring that up
At the very least they could’ve just continued it in a separate continuity. I get Disney owns the property but it did feel like an eff U to long time readers like me who kept the franchise alive. One of the EU authors said Disney can do what it wishes but he does worry about alienating such a loyal group of fans
