Part 5/7:
The overarching sentiment is one of frustration toward the creative directions being taken within the Star Wars franchise. From the previous failures of the Disney Star Wars saga to the recent low ratings of Skeleton Crew, the state of Star Wars has seemingly entered a decline, creating a schism between the original and modern narratives. The criticism is not merely about quality but also about how these projects interact with the established canon.
Furthermore, there is skepticism around the portrayal of characters, especially with hints of an agenda that might skew traditional storytelling in favor of modern social perspectives. The questions about character arcs, diversity, and representation are anticipated, causing unease about the potential direction of this new film.
