Part 2/9:
The release of the Last Jedi in 2017 marked a turning point for the franchise. While some appreciated its bold narrative choices, a significant portion of the fanbase reacted negatively, citing a departure from the core themes of the original trilogy. The film's portrayal of Luke Skywalker, along with its creative choices, sparked heated debates, and many fans announced their disengagement from the series altogether.
Subsequent entries like The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian Season 2, and the Obi-Wan Kenobi series experienced mixed receptions — some fans were disappointed, feeling that the quality and storytelling had fallen short of expectations. These missteps fueled skepticism about Disney's vision for Star Wars.
