This is a good point.

The people who make the shows are artists. Some artists are better than others, and some works by an artist are better than other works by the same artist. If you listen to music, you don’t usually care if the label is Sony or Universal or whatever. Disney has management who hires the artists but those managers and executives aren’t making the content, good or bad.

On the other hand, Disney does apparently meddle too much to try to use formulas for popularity or whatever. And that can ruin art.

They do have people or story groups at Disney that are supposed to be in charge of consistency and such. But I don't think it ever worked as well as Lucas being the sole "grand-father" of everything Star Wars. I get why Disney does it though, they want to speak to as many people as they can with the franchise, but it comes at the cost of never being able to truly succeed in its entirety and having to make decisions that will not please everyone, it simply cannot be done.

I never felt like Star Wars was supposed to be like that either, not everyone needs to like Star Wars, although that seems to be something Disney doesn't want us to believe.
