Star Wars needs to stop taking itself so seriously and return to its roots as a western, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, comedy set in space, just like the first one.

Go with what works: that old Hollywood standard of unambiguous masculine and feminine characters battling against bare-assed evil, with some witty dialogue, a few well-written plot twists, friendly camaraderie, falling in love, taking some losses and, of course, ultimately with the good guys winning the day.

Go back to telling a good story, but something new this time, instead of remaking a past hit in a woke new way or giving us the same old rehashed characters, but now reborn in some new dimension or alternate reality or time.

We’ve had more than enough of that already, thank you not so very much.

I thought George Lucas said that the Viet Cong was the inspiration for the "rebels" in the first Star Wars movie.
