Part 8/12:
A recurring theme is the sequel trilogy—the films that many fans see as a catastrophic departure from the original saga. Some panel members argue that decannonizing the sequel trilogy could be the first step toward restoring Star Wars’ integrity.
Michelle, another voice from the discussion, echoes this sentiment, lamenting that the franchise is now a shadow of its former self. She points out that the main cast is aging, and the original actors are often unavailable or unwilling to reprise their roles. The opportunity to rewrite or improve upon past mistakes seems lost, particularly since Carrie Fisher has passed away and the younger generations of actors are associated with controversial timelines.
