High budgets, scrapped projects, fan backlash. It’s been 12 years since Disney bought 'Star Wars' and its galaxy far, far away arguably has too many broken toys.
I think the prequels are a good example of how divided it is, and how similar it is to Disney stuff. Lots of people that think the prequels are bad, or that only one or two movies are bad. Same goes for the sequels, and other shows as well.
The problem is that the community behind SW is so gargantuan that it is impossible to cater to all crowds. It’s simply not possible, and it will never happen. There will always be people that agree and disagree about what’s good and what isn’t.
Especially when Disney decided to just destroy the whole expanded universe before Disney came around, to make room for their own canon. It opened up so many fan ideas and theories. And it ranged from simple concepts to the wildest concepts. It really exposed how divided the community was about how SW should be in their eyes.
It’s definitely a mess over at Disney when it comes to story/world consistency and those that are in charge of many of their projects, but I don’t think it would’ve mattered who would’ve been at the helm. If Lucas had decided to continue with the sequels and/or tv-shows on his own it probably would’ve been the same all over, especially considering his previously revealed concepts of what could’ve been his idea for the sequels stories (something about the midichlorians being a sentient race controlling everything or something vague like that) and how insanely divided people were about that too.
