I really think there’s a subset of the community that will always be extremely hostile to the Disney stuff. All those 2 hour YouTube videos on why TLJ is the worst thing ever that have more than half a million views seems to be evidence of that. I don’t think the people who have bothered to sit through all that would suddenly drop their hate of Disney Star Wars simply because of a tv show or spin off film. Strangely, there’s also a political aspect as well. Many think it’s not just that the Disney films suck, it’s that they’re SJW propaganda because Holdo has purple hair and there’s a message against war profiteering or something. That makes it even more difficult to reconcile their dislike of the sequels, because it’s not just a matter of the films themselves, but also a matter of the viewer’s actual political identity.
