I wish people would stop bringing up Disney when they discuss Star Wars. Yes Disney owns them but Lucasfilm is left to make the vast majority of decisions on their own.

People don’t blame Yum! Brands when KFC decides to switch up its menu. And this isn’t an issue with Marvel Studios so I don’t know why others persist on doing so with Star Wars.

If one is curious about the direction Star Wars is headed bring up Kathleen Kennedy and the Lucasfilm Story Group. They’re the ones piloting the ship.
