Big no duh. Star Wars is just another movie franchise to young kids, it's not special in any way as it was to past generations.
A huge part of that is just cultural. Another huge part is how absolutely terrible the Disney movies have been.
Nobody gives a shite about Rey or Poe or Finn or any of the new characters at all and never will.
A big part of it is also Star Wars fandom has always been overwhelmingly white males and the new movies have done absolutely nothing to appeal to that demo, quite the opposite in fact.

It's not just that. Movies don't have to appeal to white audiences for that demographic to care about them. It just cant be overtly political, be shitty or make other groups feel marginalized, which TLJ does.

I'll kind of disagree, its not really a race thing. It's a character thing.
Easiest sell in cinema goes like this:
make attractive characters do heroic things with wit and charm, and make sure theres a romantic undertone somewhere in the mix. OT had a smoking hot Leia, Luke, and Solo. All 3 were charming, funny, and attractive, and fighting for each other's attention.
The new trilogy has NONE of the above. Ren is a solid 7 but has no love interest. Poe is a stud too, with no love interest. Those two HAVE to have some type of thing to make it a natural story. theres just no on screen chemistry whatsoever. No love story. Just the weird mechanic girl with the forgettable storm trooper.
