@captainpep3 How could you have a dramatic arc for Luke without him being disillusioned? And why would he have stayed out of the fight for so long? Did people just want him trapped under a rock? And no, Obi Wan in the original trilogy basically ran away from the fight. They tried to retcon that in the prequels, but it made no sense. He was waiting for Luke to buy some droids and have one of them run away, and then have Jawas kidnap R2D2, then he’d come in and save Luke? No, and the attempt to recast that plot point was flat out embarrassing. Both Luke and Obi-Wan ran from the fight, and needed an unjaded young person to pull them back in, rejoin the fight and sacrifice themselves to save the day. Nowadays, viewers don’t want to be challenged, they want lazy fan service. That’s what TFA was, then they tried to make an actual film with Last Jedi (to varying degrees of success), and people freaked out, so they just went back to generic fan service with the last one, to pick up the final cash on the table. The fan reaction to the Last Jedi killed the Star Wars movies, for a long time. The studio realized they couldn’t tell new stories in the film series without massive fan backlash, so they just pivoted to TV.
