That’s fair. I just get frustrated when Disney gets the brunt of the blame for decanonizing it when they weren’t really presented with much of an option. In an ideal world we would have had Lucas keep it and actually do something with the IP instead of letting it wither away. No matter who bought it after the fact had to contend with the abject insanity that Lucas had wrought.
Disney deserves blame for some shit, don’t get me wrong. I will say I kinda like the Sequels to an extent, although by no means blind to the numerous flaws and way less of a fanboy than of newer Trek, but a lot of their other stuff was nonsensical. Some deserves praise (I personally am really enjoying the Cal Kestis story, minus the ‘twist’ in Survivor, and Andor was spectacular) and other stuff (Just gonna stare aggressively in Boba Fett’s direction) deserves some heavy mockery. I just never personally cared much about decanonization because I couldn’t see any alternative and I feel that the hate Disney gets for decanonizing should be more accurately directed towards Lucas for either causing that mess or selling it in the first place. Basically a shoot the messenger situation when no matter who bought it was gonna basically have to do that or do the same fuckheaded shit that Lucas already was.
