They have ruined enjoyment of things almost like they are deliberately trying to sabotage SW, and I mean fans not Kathy Kennedy. Do I like the Disney trilogy no, I did like Ahsoka and Obi-Wan. I like Andor and I like Mandalorian. Sure, quality varies. The only one I didn’t like is Book of Boba Fett. I haven’t seen Acolyte yet, I will admit I haven’t read any of the High Republic books but not because of their alleged wokeness, just because I like the old EU lore and its universe of characters more. I have read a comic book from IDW but not the longform novels, I have had Disney SW fans recommend them to me which I really don’t mind they can like what they like and they aren’t shills.

This isn’t a religion there aren’t true fans, if you are a fan of SW you are a fan regardless of who produced it.

Lucas isn’t a god he doesn’t need defending, the OT isn’t the bible. The prequel isn’t holy scripture.

I agree with all of that. I would guess you may enjoy certain aspects of The High Republic publishing project, such as the Jedi being more like the Jedi many of us imagined before the prequels (that old pre-pre-PT era lore that if often forgotten these days).

Some have relationships, attachments, different coloured lightsabers and variants of them, and differing uniforms than the Tatooine robes. The Jedi aren’t as centralized as we see them in the PT era (there are many Jedi outposts, and each have their own approach or thing going on), nor are they as dogmatic at PT Jedi (some are, though it is not “the norm”). I’m not saying it is perfect or exactly like that pre-PT era lore or anything, and there are issues, but could be something a fan of the older EU may enjoy?
 

Regardless, I’m looking forward to see more of The Acolyte.
