The Walt Disney Company is seeing a drastic change in leadership after it was revealed that former CEO Bob Iger is returning to the company, replacing current CEO Bob Chapek. When you think about it, Iger's surprising return spells great things for Disney as a whole, especially after the company's quarterly report revealed that the House of Mouse suffered its lowest share prices in two years. On top of that, Disney was also hit with an operating loss of $1.47 billion on Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu.
Iger, who previously served as Disney CEO for 15 years has also proven how good he is at handling properties such as Marvel and Pixar. However, fans of the Star Wars universe aren't quite sure what to make of his comeback. You see, Star Wars diehards claim that Iger was responsible for ruining the franchise, and not only that, he was the one who appointed Kathleen Kennedy as Lucasfilm's chief.
On Twitter, fans shared their reactions to Iger's return and it's safe to say that most of them aren't happy. Check out some of the tweets below:

To be fair, Star Wars has been on quite a roll as of late and it all began post-sequel trilogy. Now, whether or not Bob Iger's reentry to Disney will affect the quality of Star Wars remains to be seen but with guys like Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni in the mix, one can hope that they'll at least be given free rein when it comes to creative input. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
