Not recently, no.
Remember the not-so-subtle "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to"?
Then, when they saw the pushback and their numbers going down, suddenly it was "we are in this together", but by then, it was way too little, way too late.
Modern SW is more than happy to throw legacy characters and lorr under the bus in order to try and reshape their franchise to their current producers' taste (especially KK)... And then gladly insult and gaslight the fans when their products fail.
The people making the decisions might know and even have worked with the source material and its original creator, but they clearly don't actually respect them or their fans... And so we get things like "The Last Jedi".
Turns out that when you hire arrogant incompetent people to do a work they know nothing about, they end up making a poor job... Shocking!
