The Last Jedi Syndrome

The Last Jedi Syndrome or TLJS for short. Is when a sequel of the film, book, series or game ended spitting the face of the last product by changing the continuity unorganically, insulting the audience love of the character by killing or derailing them, disrespecting the source material like adding something that breaks the story, changing the genres (if done poorly) or mocking the audience for liking the last product and/or throwing the original creator under the bus.

Reviewer: The Last Jedi ended up splitting the fandom due to Rian Johnson making the sequel that spit on the face of The Force Awakens and the whole of Star Wars up to this point due to derailing Luke Skywalker along with adding stuff that breaks the source material thus it the reason why it is called The Last Jedi Syndrome or TLJS if you want to short it.
