The difference between the original Star Wars and the new movies is the same as the difference between a genuine Rolex and a fake Rolex. In both cases the latter is utterly worthless, but promotes itself with its famous name. "Come on, it's gotta be good! It's Star Wars!" "But it SAYS Rolex on it!"
The militant, in-your-face SJW politics of the new Star Wars films will please only the tiny but hyper-powerful minority that are already SJWs, and will turn normies, including Democrats, off. No one likes self-righteous, holier-than-thou garbage being crammed down their throats. Their anti-white propaganda will backfire on them big time. In Rogue One, the "hero" Rebel attack on the Imperial forces on the Muslim-themed world was so similar to insurgent attacks on American convoys in Iraq and Afghanistan that a lot of veterans who watched that scene probably had flashbacks. One reviewer even said that he half expected the Rebels to shout "ALLAHU ACKBAR!" The intent, of course, was to portray brown Muslims as heroes and White soldiers as villains...but when veterans, most of whom are neo-cons or Reagan Democrats, see that scene, they'll realize just how much the elite hates them and wants to vilify them...and perhaps that will be the motivation some of them need to convert to the Alt-Right.
The feminist warrior princess, Rey, is such a Mary Sue that the only way her character could have been given any depth whatsoever would be for her to turn to the Dark Side. Spoiler: It doesn't happen (not in this movie, anyway). The intent with her, of course, was to get girls and young women to identify with her and be motivated to become Corporate Career Womyn or whatever the 21st century Earth equivalent of a Jedi warrior princess is. That, too, will backfire because normal people simply can't identify with Mary Sues. Regular people have flaws and failings and learning curves and other normie stuff. The typical young woman will look at Rey and see either a cartoon character on a different plane of existence who cannot be identified with in any way, or simply become jealous of her. Makes me look fondly at the Resident Evil movies. None of the women who blasted zombies ever felt the need to make a feminist speech. I could identify with Alice and Jill.
Even the original Star Wars trilogy had scenes where the audience didn't react as their masters expected them to. In Return of the Jedi, when that one Ewok got blasted by the AT-ST and his friend shook him but he didn't get up, I heard that the theater actually cheered. And it's only gotten worse (or better). In Rogue One, a lot of people loved the ending scene where Darth Vader greases the Rebels on the spaceship. I know I did. It was quite literally like watching a hero fight back against a genocidal SJW army. My favorite was the guy who was pounding on the jammed door, screaming, "Help us!" with a terrified expression on his face, before getting lightsabered in the back.
Oh, and the noble black stormtrooper who switched sides and joined the Rebels because his black skin made him morally good (they actually want us to believe that) only makes people think of the black guy from Spaceballs who says, "We ain't found s**t!"
