The article makes a few possible points after the usual cries of racism. That old fans are old and the new Star Wars is for young people. But. Fact is Star Wars began failing to deliver what the Fans wanted after the original three. Leftist activism was just the last straw.
It’s not just the feminist nonsense. In the first movie, when Kenobi wanted to duel Vadar he had to get in a spaceship and travel across the universe to do so - in this movie Luke just astral projects himself to the scene of action. It’s crap like that which also makes people reject the current abomination.
Even the actors of the originals have said that these films are off character. Have to wonder just what Carrie Fisher told them while working as a script doctor on the new films.
