Imagine having infinite money for CGI and hiring writers/directors/actors, on the money printing machine that is Star Wars and still managing to fuck it up.
The people in charge of Star Wars didn't fuck up. Star Wars becoming a successful vehicle for woke feminism was Plan A, but the total destruction of an American cultural institution was a perfectly acceptable Plan B.
Disney Star Wars could have been good if they'd just followed the formula and adapted the Dark Horse comics or the Thrawn trilogy as cartoons a la Rebels - use animated versions of the original protagonists so they can be any age and you don't have to trot Harrison Ford's wrinkly balls out on a sound stage, have the originals do the voice overs, and it's a slam-dunk moneymaker.
But nope, gotta throw out the entire EU canon and start making our own so we don't have to pay those royalties and can use it as a vehicle to push an agenda at the same time.
Disney Star Wars could have been good, if they had scrapped the entire premise and picked better writers and directors

Yeah, look at how well that went for them.
