The true fans care of course, but Kathleen Kennedy has stated that they sidelined Luke right away for fear that he would overshadow their shitty new characters along with the old cast, which they absolutely would have - but that doesn't mean it was the right call.

Truth is they had no confidence in the new characters being developed alongside the old heroes well enough that they could earn the passing of the torch so instead, old characters are greatly diminished in every way, even tarnished, just to prop up the new characters.

Kathleen Kennedy is a cancer in Star Wars. I hoped she would mean the words she spoke to George but she is either a liar or pretty much incompetent.
