I think part of that is prob because the most hardcore of fans have a very strict view point of what should be called star wars. Add into an expansive lore that may or may not be rewritten/forgotten and sometimes outright contradicts certain esoteric facts "that only a true fan would know", it's almost asking for someone to take offense at whatever new thing that pops up.

All in all to say, people take that fandom way too seriously for what it is.

I was there in the before times, was even in the 501st briefly. the subset of knowitall fanboys who spent 20 years making up weird headcanon about Boba Fett and Mandalorians in general (when even the EU didn't give them enough) only to be rewarded with a whole series are exemplary of the problem with SW fandom. Back then it was "movies are the only canon, comics and novelizations come second as long as they don't contradict the movies, EU is EU so it's semi-canon (books, video games, Holiday Special)" - there was a whole hierarchy. When I heard the new sequels supposedly retconned the EU officially but they're now cherrypicking fan favorite bits to win people back, I knew the fandom was going to be nothing but old lore guard arguing with new fans even worse than the Empire fanboys shitting on Phantom Menace lovers.
