Maybe I'm the only person who feels this way, but......
I am actually saddened, on looking at the SW forums I'm no longer active upon, that so many of the posters are happy to say goodbye to the Skywalkers.
They were the heart and soul of SW, at least for me. I thought most fans felt the same, but apparently no. One even said they were 'looking forward to new films which did not feature any mention of the Skywalkers.'
I guess Lucas's epic saga has grown beyond its origins.
If that's what they want, fine. I have permanently left the fandom after TROS. But I wish they had at least given the Skywalkers a happy ending. Completely erasing the bloodline of the OT heroes isn't a happy ending. It's depressing as hell.
All of my memories of the saga are forever tainted by this.
