It is, he's ages after the OT cast have died of old age and there's no "passing the torch". Do that in the movies and all you'd get is a bunch of pissed off OT fans who are upset they didn't get the OT cast back for a "passing the torch" story...which they'd have hated anyways if the new characters were independent leads instead of a bunch of incompetent sidekicks who are there to just make the OT cast look good.

Wrong-o.

Trust me, having the ST open up like 100 years after the OT with the OT characters long gone, film would've bombed.

Wrong-o.

Prove it.

Name one Star Wars protagonist in da history of onscreen SW dat hasn't "had something handed to them" or hasn't needed help. Name one!.....

Well, the other characters all get protection for being created by Lucas himself, but when we first met them Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Han didn't have anything handed to them.

Of course, no one hated the OT or the PT for existing so there was that protection as well.

So double standard, because if this happened to Rey the OT fans would just decry her as weak.

Da ST is not real SW.

Because it dared to tell a story after the OT and not have the new leads be useless sidekicks while the OT leads are still the real stars.
