And you bring up a good parallel. TLJ is the Star Wars equivalent of Dunkirk. Except instead of a fleet taking the remnants of the army it is a single ship escaping with the survivors. So it makes sense that nothing is working out and everything they do fails. It fits with the narrative. So far from ignoring or trying to destroy the past, they are following GL’s example and using real world inspiration to tell a multi-part story. WWII has given the Star Wars saga a lot to work with.
