I think this is the biggest cause of backlash against every new Star Wars film.
Fans seem to have some sense of ownership over the characters/story of the original Star Wars, and get upset when things don't go the way they envision.
The Originals are treated with kid gloves compared to everything that comes after. They weren't perfect pieces of cinema with godly story telling. They were fun movies with great special effects set in a unique setting for the time. There is lots of cringe worthy stuff in the first movies. A race of squid people named after Calamari? Ewoks.
I do wonder if Star Wars will persist or if Disney will burn it out for people. That's already two more trilogies announced after the current one.
