Disney simply cannot comprehend what they have in Star Wars

They are treating it as if they bought some cartoon or comic book characters, which is their legacy. But the fans didn't grow up with the Skywalkers coming to life from comic books or on Saturday morning cartoons. We were introduced to them on massive movie screens, with a family history that was larger than life.

You just don't cast that aside, to rinse, wash, and repeat. They think they bought the SW universe (much like thet did the Marvel universe) and can just mix and match pieces, change fundamental characteristics, and bring in a new set of action figures to sell merchandise

But the Skywalkers are the Star Wars family. Just like the Cartwrights were on the Ponderosa, or the Ewings in Dallas, or the Waltons on their mountain, or the Partridges, or Brady Bunch, Jeffersons, Sopranos, Clampetts, etc

You don't simply cast these families out of their homes, or change their personalities, or force out of character lines on them, or invade their places with other families. Fans won't react to that. Hell, someone even tried to bring Dallas back with the originals, but when J.R. died irl, it was quickly cancelled

Disney thinks they bought Walton mountain, and now are entitled to show us stories of all the other families that live around them. And are mystified that we aren't excited about that
