So… The myth that Lucas conceived the ‘saga’ as one unified whole is one that really boils my blood, because it leads to these very close-minded view. I’ve encountered a certain breed of fan that believes TFA is offensive by its mere existence because it violates the original six-part structure that Lucas intended.
I haven’t heard this but I’ve heard something along the lines of “TFA is offensive because the galaxy didn’t live happily ever after”
I’ve heard that too, this theory that TFA somehow ruined ROTJ by its very existence.
As if
Luke Skywalker has vanished. In his absence, the sinister FIRST ORDER has risen from the ashes of the Empire and will not rest until Skywalker, the last Jedi, has been destroyed.
wasn’t written in the crawl. The Rebels still won but some people are acting as if they retconned the destruction of The Empire. Another reason people say TFA ruined ROTJ is that Leia and Han aren’t together and that has a bit of merit but as I see it it’s a realistic outcome of their son turning into a heinous murderer. Secondly, they reconciled with each other.
