Great write-up Acbagel!
Unfortunately I don’t think simply making “a little something for everyone” (i.e. different things for different people) is enough to unite the fandom, as each group generally seems to think Star Wars should only be made for their tastes specifically (even if not everyone admits it). Doesn’t help also that a ton of YouTubers nowadays make an entire living from hating Star Wars, no matter what it does.
Of all the groups you mentioned, I’m in the one that you described as “not very protective, fine with whatever direction Disney takes.” I honestly think at this point they should just keep doing whatever they’re doing, cause people will get mad no matter what. There was a time when even ESB was divisive, ffs!
Keep it crap because of some youtubers? Toxic youtubers are that undefeatable? That we have to just keep the quality bar low or random because Nerdrotic exists on youtube? They absolutely do not matter compared to the legacy of a 50 year old and going franchise.
When Andor came out most of them were praising the quality of the writing, acting and directing. I can only remember SW Theory didn’t like it because there were no Jedi and he thought bricks were not appropriate for the universe. Quality speaks for itself. If they “keep doing what they’re doing” then ratings will keep dropping and there will, honestly, be something worth critiquing for course correction needs.
