I understand and agree with what you said.
But to make our beloved heros entire lives meaningless and miserable and then kill them offhandedly to be replaced with characters we really care nothing about is an insult.
The rebels are weaker than ever. Apparently killing the emperor accomplished nothing in the original trilogy. And if that were not bad enough, Luke lives out the rest of his life in misery and regret alone milking stranger animals tits, and then just ... fades to nothingness. WTH?
It would be like... making more Harry Potter movies that start with the death eaters in control for no explained reason (ignoring the original happy ending) and led by Ron’s son who is obsessed with killing Harry Potter, who is living alone after his Jennie divorced him. The series starts with Rons son using new powers to uttery destroy Hoggwarts and the Ministry of Justice. Harry also has cancer and could care less about the death eaters being in control and just wants to be left alone to milk house-elf tits.
That’s kind of what happens when you continue a story past the “end”. Life goes on, there’s a new war, more bad guys, Patton dies from a weird car accident. It’s the innate problem with epilogues.
I understand and agree with that. How is it that the Republic was not restored, and that a new Dark Side was allowed to emerg to take their place **cough**cough** Soviet Union**cough**Vladimir Putin**cough**cough**.
What kind of Disney theme park would it be it everyone lived in peace and harmony, "It's a small galaxy after all..."
