The Star Wars franchise has been part of the entertainment industry since George Lucas introduced the trio of Luke, Leia, and Han, and the Empire to us back in 1977 with Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Since then, Star Wars has become a phenomenon that has sucked in more and more people in its sphere.
With as many fans as the franchise has, its not far fetching that there is a divide in opinions. While new projects have been lauded by some fans, others have turned their backs on them, deeming them a sacrilege. And given the franchise is not stopping on producing new content, its safe to say, fans have more and more contwnt every year to talk about.

Star Wars Takes A Page Out Of The Marvel Book
In recent news, the Star Wars franchise is reportedly working on a show, similar to Marvel’s What If…? The show, similar to Marvel, will explore different situations and scenarios from the Star Wars universe. And while it is a good idea, there have been comments about how Disney is just trying to milk money from the same idea from different ventures.
A ‘What If…?’ version of Star Wars can bring about a lot of possibilities. From the original trilogy to the recent ones to all the other movies and shows that have come since, the possibilities are endless. But is this really what the franchise needs or are they only looking at it as a money-making opportunity.

Fans React to Star Wars What If…? News
The Star Wars fandom is probably one of the most hardcore fandoms. They take their lore very seriously, and do not like when there are changes made to the existing lore. The Daisy Ridley Star Wars trilogy that was an attempt to relaunch the franchise failed pretty badly, even with the inclusion of the original cast.
A show like What If…? will completely overturn every possibility from the franchise and bring about new changes. And with the recent news, they want the sequel trilogy to be completely wiped from the Star Wars canon if possible
