How do you fuck up so bad marketing to one of the biggest fanbases in the universe?

You start by making a trilogy with no coherent story across the three movies that ends by basically undoing the first two trilogies and go from there. (For the record I enjoyed the last three movies as general fantasy movies, they just didn't fit all that well into the mythology).

  The "cool" parts were cool. The fights were way better than the clone wars trilogy. The return to using puppets and other physical props was great. Trying for a strong woman lead - excellent. The characters - garbage. The story - trash. Spiking a star destroyer with a FTL ship - universe-ruining, but it certainly sounded dope. It didn't "ruin" star wars though. Nothing can ever change how great the first (first-made) three movies were. Well, nothing other than destroying all original copies and only making available ones with bad Xbox-graphics 3d model aliens walking around directly in front of all the best shots. Oh wait...

    > Spiking a star destroyer with a FTL ship - universe-ruining, but it certainly sounded dope. They addressed that in Episode 9, with the throwaway line: "You can't do a Holdo again, that's a 1 in a million chance!" > Well, nothing other than destroying all original copies They'll have to pry my OT Laserdisks out of my cold dead hands.

      Do you seriously have the OG Laserdisks? Those are crazy rare - for the good of the people you should make their digital content uhhhhhhhhh "available" as it were ;) If a Holdo is a 1 in a million chance, it's weird that it worked again in the orbit of Endor, as we see at the end of the final movie...

I've heard that a lot of it was done to exclude George Lucas's ex-wife from the editing credits, and possibly royalties: https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/6b290m/the_sad_story_of_star_wars_unsung_hero_marcia/ https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/6b290m/the_sad_stor...
