Under the House of Mouse, the Star Wars fandom has become more divided than ever before. But apparently, Lucasfilm is willing to fix this, even if it means that they have to reboot the entire Sequel Trilogy timeline.
While some fans were already mad at Disney for recycling A New Hope with a new coat of paint in The Force Awakens, it wasn’t until Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi that the divisiveness tore through the fanbase. Lucasfilm attempted to redeem their take on the franchise through The Rise of Skywalker, a movie solely written to cater to fan requests, but the result backfired in the company’s face and Episode IX ended up just as controversial as its predecessor, if not more. J.J. Abrams’ concluding act also ended up as the lowest-grossing movie of the Sequel Trilogy.
