[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8704179, member: 6877472"] I do know people who complained, but their problems with how Disney handles the franchise go way deeper than just Rey. Basically, to them, everything was fine and perfect, they had the Expanded Universe, and nothing could go wrong (I still disagree about elements of the prequel trilogy, but what can you do). But then their great savior, Mr. Lucas, sold everything to Disney, lock, stock, and barrel, and ditched a lot of old canon because they wanted to make new stuff [B]now [/B]and their lawyers were probably unclear who owned what. Well that, and the guy they hired to be the lore keeper (his job position is Keeper of the Holocrons, as I recall) apparently doesn't know what Wookiepedia is. Even now, it takes a lot for them to begrudgingly say anything good about the current era. "It's just a giant cash grab", and I'm like, yes, that's what media empires are about, making money, right? I've learned not to engage them when discussing things like politics, Disney, and Warhammer 40k. [/QUOTE]
