I don't really have any horses (bantas?) in this race, since I just didn't have the time to watch most of the new Disney Star Wars stuff, but friends that did watch it said they didn't find it all that good, and especially felt like the queer characters felt a bit two dimensional beyond the representation they added.

Regardless of whether that's the case, I very much do believe that they got a lot of vitriol from reactionary fools.

Exactly this, the show just wasn’t very good. And the crazy bigoted part of the Star Wars fandom lost their minds.
