Part 4/10:
Cast and Audience Reception Concerns
There appears to be a growing unease regarding how well the cast understands the Star Wars universe. In interviews, some actors confessed a lack of familiarity with key elements, such as the significance of Anakin's role in destroying the Death Star. For example, one actor humorously or perhaps ignorantly stated, "I think Anakin blew up the Death Star," revealing their unfamiliarity with the character's actual actions and the scale of destruction involved.
This has led to skepticism about whether the show is genuinely rooted in the Star Wars mythos or if it’s more about ticking diversity boxes. Critics question if the story will resonate with longtime fans or alienate those who cherish the franchise’s traditional themes.
