Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, has said he was initially reluctant to return in his iconic Star Wars role, believing that Disney would be unable to "catch lightning in a bottle twice."
Need to pull the plug already and shelf this horseshit the franchise has been forced to devolve into
Went from having six films, origin story comics, prequel/sequels with Bane and continued stories with future characters, and everything in between to this
A zombiefied franchise that infects just a select bit of Star Wars with the virus so as to keep the most profitable parts moving with an unnatural gate towards enshittification and profits
If you don’t think pre-Disney Star Wars EU was worse than what Disney’s done, you either have cognitive dissonance from buying a hundred bad pulp novels or you never read them.
The sequels have palpatine “somehow return” via cloning, while the EU justified Sheev building death weapons because of extra-galactic anti-force bugs.
Old EU had its bad points; it was basically commercial fan fiction after all. However, there were some really good stories in there too. A much better ratio of good to bad than Disney has managed.

I’m so glad they destroyed the old EU just to replace it with the exact same stupid shit but done worse.
