Given the reactions to the rumors here, I wonder if there's any possible storyline that could be suggested that wouldn't get a bad reaction.

Something that moves past superweapons, Sith lords, universe shrinkage, and black hat villains with red lightsabers would do it for me ...

Same here, I don't mind superweapons, provided they are not more Death Stars, and that they are not central to the plot but I do wish they would have avoided cliches and the whole 'small universe' aesthetic. That last point seems to be exacerbated by the fact that they seem to be now channeling horror 'tropes'. It all seems very darkly self-aware. A far cry from the first film despite the filmmakers efforts to get back to the source material.

There should be more to the series than desert planets, Stormtroopers, TIE fighters and black clad villains with blood-coloured weapons.
