Respectfully, it appears that expressing dissatisfaction with Lucasfilm's output is often met with accusations of being toxic, while there seems to be an unspoken expectation of toxic positivity for everything they produce. This dynamic is further complicated by comments from Kathleen Kennedy and Leslye that seem to inflame rather than address these tensions.

For instance, The Last Jedi was undeniably one of the most divisive entries in the Star Wars franchise. The contrast between the reception of The Last Jedi and the reviews for The Acolyte underscores that not all Star Wars content is universally acclaimed. It should be equally acceptable to recognize and critique shortcomings as it is to celebrate successes, without labeling those who express such critiques as being less committed to the franchise.

For example, one can critique The Acolyte without compromising their commitment to social justice or progressive values.

Articles that shame individuals for expressing their opinions are as lacking in substance as those that they critique.
