My question is why is it "neckbeards" hate this movie Star Wars is awesome and yet for the prequels "It's George Lucas that's wrong"?

Who controls the narrative of when something bad is bad and something bad is not bad?

Also why try to pidgeon-hole everyone who doesn't like the movie because it isn't EU Luke or Rey isn't a Skywalker? I've seen these a lot as excuses as to why people don't like TLJ for petty reasons. I don't like TLJ because it's the same thing as the OT with some slight modifications, many feel the same way. It's not because "the changes are too much for us". Also why wasn't the narrative "the changes are too much for the fans" when it came to the prequels?

The people that disliked the movie and started a petition to remove this from canon are the ones that are upset at the things I mentioned. I'm not lumping them into everyone that didn't like the movie. There are aspects of the movie I don't like at all but nothing to do with the movie not living up to any preconceived head-canon.

I haven't seen anyone complain that there were too many changes for a SW movie to be able to enjoy it.
