People should remember that if it wasn’t for toxic fans? George would still own the franchise and be happy about it with maybe the extent of him being done with Star Wars just coming from him growing tired of speaking about the same few topics with every interviewer.

He created the toxic fandom. Also, there was a very easy fix for it. He chose instead to dig his heels in and even went further by trolling the fans (e.g., selling Han Shot First T-shirts, “it’s my movie, not yours”, etc).
