You'd think Lucasfilm's operational pause during the coronavirus epidemic presents an opportunity to take stock of the Star Wars franchise and change course. Not so. Lucasfilm continues to debase the franchise you grew up with and love, and I'm here to tell you you should not care.
The incompetent storytelling, retconning of canon, lack of preparation, literal insults of fans, and aggressive SJW propoganda were a scandal 3 years ago. Now they're Lucasfilm's established modus operandi. Knowing what you know, you should expect the worst and get your entertainment from somewhere else.
Selling to Disney was the biggest mistake of George Lucas's career. Unless he plans to buy it back from the debt-ridden Devil Mouse for half of what he sold it for, it will be remembered forever as a senseless act of artistic self-flagellation.
Star Wars peaked 40 years ago and has produced more bad content than good since then. If Star Wars was a Ferrari, it's got a thousand door dings and a shattered windshield. What does a dented fender matter at this point?
In the words of Rian Johnson, "let the past die. Kill it if you have to." Enjoy something that's not (yet) corrupted by the world for a change.
You can start with my space adventure book, Seeds of Calamity. I've made the first 4 chapters available for free. If it piques your interest, get yourself a copy at Amazon.
