It's really bad criticism. It doesn't have anything to say - it's just rubbish like "Luke should have been a super-badass and taken Kylo Ren over his knee and given him a good spanking!", or utter drivel like "Rian Johnson is a bad director!". Like absolutely not, no he isn't. That's not real criticism. It's just drivel.90% of the "criticism" of Disney's Star Wars prior to TROS was essentially "THIS DOESN'T MATCH MY EXISTING HEADCANON!", and 90% of that headcanon was "Here's what happened in the old EU/Legends novels".So what was Disney supposed to do, just make various of the old EU/Legends stuff as movies?I'm not saying you didn't have valid criticisms, but most people criticising were either being bigots, being mad that their headcanon wasn't on screen, or both. And a lot of it was all mixed up together - like, even removing bigotry, a third of a person's criticisms might be semi-valid and even potentially actionable, another third would be ludicrous opinions (c.f. "Rian Johnson is a bad director" - again no he isn't), and the third third would be just headcanon/nostalgia stuff.And they could have fixed the actual actionable third of the complaints, and then the two thirds which were non-actionable drivel would still be there, and the person would still be extremely mad.So what's even the point?I mean, they never really "addressed" any of the flaws of the PT, did they? They just built Clone Wars over them, acted like the flaws weren't there and made something good. And that worked out.</blockquote>
