Actually, Disney is killing Star Wars with snow-flakery and virtue signaling.
I think they have forgotten who the original fans are, who stood in line 1977.
We are now as far away from the original Star Wars as the country was (timewise) from the Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials that inspired the original 1977 film.
I don’t think the studios are trying to get people over 50 in the seats. But they won’t even have a perennial cash cow or decades long franchise if they keep bowing to contemporary generational cultural trends.
If Disney wants it to be successful like the Marvel Comics movies, put rap, metal, and disco songs on the soundtrack, ironically, but it won’t age well.
