There was a story group and it was 20 something people and the majority were women and there was a lot of diversity in the group. And that's fine, there's nothing wrong with that but this group did not understand Star Wars at a very basic level of what's cool. What's cool is aliens, lightsabers, blasters, ships, the force, sith, mysticism, and all that.
They created boring characters and put them in boring situations. The humor was lame and not Star Wars humor. And the directors that they chose completely fumbled the ball and told a really stupid story that didn't logically make sense.
And also the ship designs were so lame that by the third film they just ended up using the old ones...just one example.
