History, and now the Last Jedi, showed us over and over again that you never make a movie for "fans" who wouldn't know a good work even if it hit them in the face. Fans only know about expecting certain things. I am glad Rian Johnson knows about this and has the ability to brace some backlash: http://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-the-last-jedi-backlash-rian-johnson-response/
