Instead of trying to course-correct and steer the ship back toward what fans love and enjoy, the creators have been attacking the fans, blaming #GamerGate, calling them “white supremacists”, and labeling them as “detestable”.
Fans have decided that the best way to save Star Wars is to abandon Star Wars, so they boycotted Solo: A Star Wars Story and have now expressed their unyielding drive to see the brand either fixed or destroyed.

Sounds analogous to the situation between the people and the Federal Government.
EA Games is suffering the same fate with the (barely) WWII-themed Battlefield V.
I never really played Battlefield games. I had BF4, which I couldn't get into very well as lousy internet and Wi-Fi speeds killed my gaming experience.
After upgrading those things, my BF-loving friends encouraged me to play Battlefield 1, which I love, but am getting bored with. I also managed to get my septuagenarian father into it (he currently outranks me, but he's retired and can play whenever).
When Call of Duty (a series I absolutely loved - Ghosts and Infinite Warfare excepted) bombed with their most current WWII offering (one I didn't purchase), I hoped the next Battlefield iteration would be WWII. It was, but my hopes were dashed with the cartoonish and SJW crap in the preview.
Folks who had the same opinion I had, have since been called uneducated by EA's developer, and told not to buy the game. This same developer just happened to quit last week after a report showing pre-sales are down over 80% from Battlefield 1.
I have also noted a distinct die-off in player numbers in Battlefield 1 since all this brouhaha.
