Part 8/9:
This pattern mirrors past mistakes: failed seasons, poorly received movies, and a focus on woke identity politics over compelling storytelling. With each new announcement, concerns deepen that the franchise is veering further away from what made it beloved in the first place.

As the year progresses, fans and critics will be watching to see if Lucasfilm can reverse course or if their strategy of doubling down on failures will only deepen the franchise’s decline.
