Second draft of this comment, because I realize this has happened a lot during my lifetime.
Star Wars, like Star Trek, The Legend of Zelda - a lot of the media I grew up with - started out as stories, and then transitioned to settings, and have now become paint colors.
There used to be an answer for “Who is the main character of Star Wars?” When I was a kid, that answer was Luke Skywalker. When I was a teenager, the answer changed to Darth Vader, and now it’s a meaningless question, like who’s the main character of brutalism or who’s the protagonist of JNCO jeans?
It’s definitely what nailed the coffin closed. Disney releasing a new Star Wars show every few months was what killed it for me.
