I find the analysis flawed. In the article "Marvel is failing because they thought that most people were nerds: that mass audiences would actually want to delve deep into their joyless multiverse and slog through all its lore".

Marvel is failing for the simple reason that it has become "content" for an audience that doesn't exist instead of an entertaining movie/series for the masses. And anyone who has tried to point out that the audience doesn't exist is being called all the things that are bad.

I have a feeling the same is going to happen with Star Wars films here soon.

To be honest, I think the level of effort that Star Wars (and ig now Disney) has put in to really expand the universe (and add more details to the same story with series' like Bad Batch or Kenobi) can be sufficient to satisfy the hunger of the true fans. Especially when compared to Marvel that basically runs the same characters / stories again in different universes as an excuse for lack of detailed writing....

But that being said I am not a fan of the token diversity quota characters being added...

It already happened! The new trilogy and the recent series had this happen to it, the Mandalorian the two first seasons where entertaining but they are back to failing to find an audience.

As a casual observer, I saw people being labelled as sexists basically the minute feedback and viewership numbers started dropping for the middle film in the new trilogy. And the same thing happened for the last one.
