Were people upset that the Emperor was tossed to his death with little backstory? Legit curious.
Most people were losing their minds over how cool it was and just enjoying the movie. But there were fignuts then bitching about the cannon error, yeah. Had a friend who didn't see 6 until we told them the retcon with obi won in 6. And lets be clear....that was total retcon. Vader was not a skywalker when lucas wrote 4.

How people reacted to the original trilogy is completely irrelevant.

It has and it hasn't.

You're correct in your previous statement that it's practices and tropes have "stayed authentic to itself."

It has changed in that there is now more history in the story, that makes staying authentic harder to do, while telling a coherent story.

The more you add to the history, and the lore, the more plot holes bad writing decisions are going to evolve if you ignore the history just remain true to the tropes that have been a part of the series. And the thing is, it doesn't even need those tropes. They aren't necessary to make star wars unique and special.
