Part 8/10:
The Media’s Turning Tide and Internal Climate
Mainstream outlets like Forbes and Bounding in the Comics have begun to openly criticize Disney’s Star Wars. Commentators are increasingly pointing out that the sequel trilogy—The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker—failed to resonate with core fans, leading to a growing atmosphere of dissatisfaction.
Even the Star Wars fandom is becoming disillusioned. While The Mandalorian has garnered some praise, skepticism remains high. Rumors suggest Disney will avoid a wholesale reboot of the sequel era, opting instead to sidestep it and move forward with new projects—likely leaving existing narratives untouched but with a more cautious creative approach.
