People indoctrinated in critical theory see everything in society about withholding power structures of oppression. Unless you're of critical consciousness (woke), you are unwittingly a tool of upholding that oppression. They even go so far as thinking people who aren't woke have a false consciousness. They unwittingly think and act to uphold the systems of oppression. Their opinions, views, works and actions all do this. Even if they think they are not. It's why the woke think they're the guardians of truth and the only ones able to have power and freedom to speak.
They look at everything through the eye of how it upholds the oppression, by believing everything is part of the system. Viewing it mainly by race and gender.
They would consider the original trilogy as part of the system of reinforcing oppression in society. Its main hero is a white male. They would assume it is a manifestation of George Lucas' false consciousness and part of upholding the system of oppression by presenting a white male as the hero.
In a sense, they would consider Star Wars to be propaganda to indoctrinate people in the ways of oppression. How culture partakes in constructing their false consciousness, seeing white males as heroic figures. So their role in controlling Star Wars is now to undo that "propaganda." By reframing the original work. Luke was a false hero. Whatever perception you had of him from the original films was wrong. He's a scared coward whose first instinct is to kill his nephew and to run away and be a coward. He is not a hero. He was only made a hero in the original theory by the false consciousness of George working to uphold the systems of oppression. Therefore it was never earned as a character. It was just given to him.
It's why all this woke stuff is so destructive when it gets over existing franchises. When it's something of no influence, they can cancel it. If it's still significance, its power they can use to try and undo the narratives in society that uphold oppression. They get to do a new Terminator film. John Conner is a male hero. So he's killed and replaced by a tiny woman. Arnolds character is needed for the film to have power. So they make his Terminator less masculine. He's a drapes salesman.
The ironic part of this is because they misunderstand society and people. They end up recreating their version of oppression and false consciousness they are meant to be against. The progress of gender and race rights of the last few centuries shows their assumption on society was wrong. Yet as they think that is how the world works, they're wanting to create it for their own agenda.
So that is why they make cartoons of the original films, where Luke is a spaz. Which is why bringing Luke back as a hero is such a problem for them.
