In my mind the only thing close to a solution for Disney/LFL is to move entirely beyond the existing characters, so at least there will be one less factor that comes with a lot of emotional baggage for fans.
Or, you know, they could have treated the legacy characters right. Never getting to see the big three reunited just one more time on screen will always be unforgivable. That is one area the ST bungled from the beginning.
To your point, I agree and think a lot of the fervor will die down once the original cast are done post IX.
but that’s just it that might have been right for you but I would have been very annoyed by that type of ST. Putting the big three together would have felt extremely fanservicey in my opinion.
Well then, you are lost. =P The way they separated the cast is something that’s usually only done in extreme cases of scheduling conflicts and is never satisfying. The story excuses for it in TFA were horrid. It painted both Han and Luke in a very poor light to just abandon Leia like that. Those three are inextricably linked together. Artificially tearing them apart like that served no purpose other than to deprive fans of something special that can now never be rectified.
