The new Saga could have been Way better. In the fact that it would be Disney's own. Would have no Tie to the Original Saga, and could go in any direction they actually wanted it to .Which It's rumored Disney is already writing and getting ready to film a New Star Wars Saga starting 2021..
It would have been SO much better without using the Star Wars IP.

Something to keep in mind : The "new" star wars is not made for "us" the original fans. this is to close out the saga, tie up lose ends and pave way for the new saga to begin. . .
You only need to tie it up for "us", the old fans. lol
exactly...

only those who care about the Original Triology want/need/care about things being tied up.
young people don't because they aren't invested in the OT.

Star Wars was done for the old people. It was wrapped up. Disney "re-opened it" just to spite us. The kids didn't need Star Wars IP used, they didn't like it. The old people didn't need it ruined. Disney seems to have done it out of an abject hatred for the old fan base.

Yeah - I'm more in this camp - it was simply about the money, not an abject hatred of the fans - is there really money to be made in purposefully putting out crap the fans will hate?

Wow - really? I'm surprised you're asking this question - which will lead to an education provided by Scott on how the "new canon" is a lie, and really it's just the alternate universe, and what has been dubbed legends is the real canon.

I find it hard to believe it made as much money as something else would have without alienating so many people.

Yup, it's a different storyline unrelated to Star Wars other than it reuses the same characters, mostly badly, and doesn't have the same quality writing. I find no legitimate way to claim it to be Star Wars. Disney owns the name and can slap it on anything that they want, but it doesn't make something that intrinsically isn't part of the Star Wars universe suddenly part of it.
You can own the rights to Little Women as a name. But you can't write a different story and claim it's actually what the author meant. Jo didn't run a home for boys, she was actually a space pirate.

You really believe a completely new story - non SW IP at all - but still SciFi would have made more money?
I just looked up the top 30+ movies by gross, Star Wars had two or three of the spots - I suppose they could have gotten lucky and done better, though they are much more likely to make more on a known franchise than starting something new...
In the top 10 only three where non sequels. I consider every Marvel movie after Iron Man a sequel, brought about even more so in the last 5+ years by the obvious need to get to the Avengers and End Game. -
Wow, I had no idea that basically no one goes to see Terminator any more (yeah I didn't go see either of these movies either).

Don't even know about these movies. Are these direct to steaming?

The same people who loved the originals are also up there in age, so they likely aren't a profitable demographic as say as 12 year old who's maybe only heard their dad talking about it.
