Part 9/11:
With the official explanation finally out in the open, it seems clear that Lucasfilm has resorted to storytelling improvisation—filling in gaps with technological and mystical nonsense that many fans feel unnecessary. The approach raises questions about the franchise’s direction: Are these explanations enriching the mythos, or are they just complicated patches that undermine the original storytelling?
It’s worth noting that the franchise’s core audience has shown signs of fatigue, moving toward other projects and stories like The Mandalorian or Andor, which focus more on character and less on convoluted lore. Meanwhile, Disney’s strategy seems to prioritize building a “rich universe” through expanded media, which only alienates viewers who prefer straightforward storytelling.
