Because Kathleen Kennedy can't produce a Star Wars movie, so she brainwashed J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson into doing her bidding (because Kathleen Kennedy is a producer, not a director)
Dave Filoni needs to be president of Lucasfilm, not Kathleen! besides, Kathleen Kennedy can't produce a Star Wars film correctly, the non-Star Wars stuff is only stuff she can produce like E.T. or other Spielberg stuff.
Kathleen says that Rey is a strong female Jedi, but if anything, Ahsoka Tano, Aayla Secura, Shaak Ti, etc. are strong female Jedis, Rey does everything out of pure luck and has little to no character development like Ahsoka does!
WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAN A REHASH OF A NEW HOPE? OH, I KNOW! UNNECESSARY FEMINIST PROPAGANDA IN A STAR WARS MOVIE! KATHLEEN? YES, ABRAMS? I DON'T THINK WE CAN MAKE THE FANS ANGRIER; IGNORING CRITICISM BY CALLING HATERS "MISOGYNISTS" OR "RACISTS"; NONSENSE; KATHLEEN, NO! TOXIC STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI HATEBASE
