The producers and directors despise their own fans. Jar Jar Abrams said they hate women, I guess because they don’t like it that Luke Skywalker is now a defeated, sniveling coward. What men are supposed to be, I guess. And moral relativity means the dark side is now just “another side”. What’s the whole struggle about? Nothing, really.

To be fair, the idea that the dark side was meant to be “another side” was kind of promoted in the Prequel Trilogy and Return of the Jedi due to some of Obi-Wan’s dialogue (specifically, claiming “only a Sith deals in Absolutes”, essentially implying the Jedi don’t even hold to absolutes at all, and claiming that the truths we cling to depend greatly on a point of view, respectively). But I agree, JJ Abrams should NEVER have been allowed near Star Wars, or Rian Johnston (and Disney really shouldn’t have had control over Disney. With the exception of Rogue One and the SCAR trooper story, maybe also Bloodline, most of their additions have been complete crap.). Unfortunately, the only reason Disney has access to Star Wars at all was because George Lucas, despite his socialist rhetoric about not wanting corporations owning government, pretty much sold it so he’d be tax exempt when the Bush tax cuts were removed by Obama.
