I actually read Manessa's word wall, since it wasn't (mostly) about tranny shit for a change. Yeah that's all possible and COULD have been that way at any point.
But.....
They have had years of extended EU material to draw from and reshape (the way MCU does with its IP) to maintain surprise. JJ even lobbed them a softball of unresolved setups in TFA for them to run in just about any direction they desired. They didn't. Instead the Kathleen Kenedy Klan came in and smothered the IP with their pussy lips, getting her favorite cuck RJ to make not-a-starwars-movie where they could push agenda and shit on every interesting loose thread JJ left them to work with. Remember KK and her crew have actively been trying to stomp out any attempts to get EU things back into the cannon, DESPITE these things being the most successful parts of the new material in terms of fan reception (examples: Rebels writers sneaking Thrawn in along with TIE Defenders and Interdictor SDs, or Rogue One sneaking in the TIE Striker and U Wing from the EU books). Ryan Johnson didn't just turn his nose at all the easy softball pitches JJ served up for him, he didn't just ignore a wealth of material and ideas from the EU, but he shit out a movie with literally nowhere to go.
At this point, if JJ does something really crazy and stupid, I am totally understanding. Because RJ and the KKK already destroyed the franchise, so may as well go down swinging and do something out there. I mean, he got brought in and had the full weight of the Mouse on his back for three years making TFA only to have Kennedy shit all over his efforts. Why the fuck not? Dude has enough money, may as well go full on crazy and see what happens for his own amusement, because apparently the Mouse didn't care about the KKK torpedoing their multi billion dollar IP purchase.
The reality though is this new crop of money whores in charge of the Mouse are about to learn a harsh lesson in what happens when you shit on a built in fan base. And not just in the Star Wars arena, either. Their no Spiderman post Endgame MCU packed full of lesbians and gay black men is going to fizzle just as bad, because they think they can just swap in the Burger King Diversity Kids Meal squad in place of the decades long established characters and no one will notice. Just like they have done with the previous SW fan favorites, because they think they can merchandize their own shitty woke spin on that IP and pull in the same fan loyalty. They are going to back to the Return From Witch Mountain / Cat From Outer Space / ect 1970s early 80s era of fail so fast it is going to make their heads spin, because that's the last time they made this mistake before they got back to the core of what fans wanted from them (in this case animated epics of well known parables) and making money again. I cannot believe no one in that fucking board room is not reminding them that they went through this same bout of hubris before, though admittedly the SJW cult invasion is a new wrinkle. Bob Iger should be old enough to remember that era, but he is also the asshole who refuses to fire KK.
Basically, Disney has had all the tools there to make this work with very little effort from them. But due to hubris, wokeness, or maybe too many cocaine fueled pedo island orgies, they have not remotely executed with the SW IP. Worse than that, they have actively gone out of their way to shit on it and hemorrhage fans while deliberately ignoring past lessons. The tools were there to make it fresh and keep the core elements in place, they just chose to ignore them.
