No kidding, and it doesn’t help that his Aftermath trilogy was complete crap. Heck, he even ruined Palpatine as a character with that whole “Contingency” thing where he has his own Empire, not to mention the Galaxy as a whole, be blown up in a post-mortem tantrum, which is despite the whole thing about him, oh, I don’t know, trying to goad Luke AND Anakin in two separate instances to commit cold-blooded murder against him specifically to turn them to the Dark Side, or heck, the fact that Palpatine before dueling Yoda actually seemed to look FORWARD to Vader surpassing even himself in overall power. He will not be missed.
Too bad they haven’t fired Rian Johnson, Kathleen Kennedy (at least, I don’t THINK they’ve done that yet) or JJ Abrams for similar damages to the brand.
They screwed Star Wars. Darth Emo isn’t scary or formidable. Now Emperor Shaddam and Baron Harkonnen from Frank Herbert’s Dune, were formidable and took Paul Atreides years to amass enough power to overcome both. The same was true for Palpatine and Darth Vader in Star Wars. So many men in the entertainment industry are cucked.
