Imagine a world where the owners of an IP actually appealed to the fans of the IP. I know sometimes you can expand your customer base with certain products but certainly not when you try to do it at the expense of loyal customers.

Even with a course correction, I don’t think the OG fans would trust them. Disney squandered the last chance to bring all three original characters back together. Star Wars is dead and needs to be buried, not paraded around like a corpse puppet on strings.
That's they're biggest crime innthe end.
Stories are immortal and IP laws are fake and gay. Star Wars will always live on due to those facts.
But the big three reuniting is an opportunity that HAS been squandered forever with no possible recourse. That chance is gone forever.
And why? Because it would have been "derivative" too "expected".
Well quite. I got married recently, but I plan to never have sex with my wife cause that'd be too cliche.
We can't make people happy, that's WAY to obvious.
I hate the whole subversion of expectations. It can be done well but to praise something simply because it’s different is stupid. Critics saying “well everyone expected Luke to be heroic”. In Game of Thrones the showrunners said they couldn’t have Jon kill the Night King because it was expected.
I forget which reviewer or TLJ it was who said the whole movie being jar jar links jerking off of on John Wayne's grave would also be unexpected.
all they had to do was make the thrawn trilogy. they could have easily added some younguns to the cast to set them up for the future.
