Part 8/13:
Longtime fans express frustration when beloved characters are rewritten or sidelined to serve ideological narratives. Examples include Luke Skywalker’s depression and failure in The Last Jedi or the portrayal of Indiana Jones as a broken, dejected figure. Fans see these as unnecessary reimaginings that betray the spirit of the originals. The core grievance remains: fans are upset not because of diversity but because they've lost characters they loved and trusted.
