People said that about the Original remakes (how it ruined Star Wars) or at the Prequel trilogy (it ruining Star Wars), yet the same fans that are bashing the sequels praise the past stuff that supposedly ruined it.
Some people just have to get over that the stories didn't go in a direction THEY wanted. Everyone has creative differences. I am sure some people will bash the new Marvel shows on
Disney+ because the characters are "different" than what they "think" they should be or different than how they were in the Avengers movies.
SWGE is built and designed for hard core Star Wars fans. The problem with that is they now have to market it to the casual fans or people who have never seen the movies. Pandora is liked by people despite it not being super popular or people not seeing the movies. This media push is to let the rest of the world know (non Star Wars geeks) that there is this great new world to discover.
Disney may have overestimated how much SWGE would sell itself.
The next test of whether Star Wars is "dead" or not will be the toy sales (coming October 4th) for the new movie and the new movie itself.
