The current narrative is that all mainstream pop culture is bad, not just what falls under the (admittedly large) umbrella of Disney. Actual SW discussion seems to be dead as it once was at its height during the sequel trilogy. For me it became clear when that guy from Collider say he had been “busting his ass as a Star Wars fan” hahah jeez. The traffic those kind of videos got is clearly dead, so it’s just general entertainment for the masses / corporate decision making they dislike. And to be fair a Rey movie isn’t an artistic decision it’s just a branding one. They could do almost anything with the IP but they can’t get (or don’t have faith in) any proper writers apparently.
