With these films being divisive, I have a feeling that it may cause Star Wars to lose it's Sacred Cow status (Meaning bashing the franchise as a whole wouldn't recieve a near-universal backlash.).

Threads like this are discouraged when you could just ask it in a regular thread. To answer the question though, Star Wars won't lose its Sacred Cow status cause the franchise as a whole isn't one. Maybe you could make a case for the Original Trilogy but the series as a whole has received a lot of criticism over the years and has such a shattered Broken Base that calling it a Sacred Cow seems inaccurate.

Even at the height of their popularity, when the original trilogy first came out, there were plenty of people criticizing them. Professional critics were pretty divided on A New Hope. And The Empire Strikes Back was seriously the Last Jedi of its time: critics were more positive about it, but fan reactions were Love It or Hate It. And some of the criticisms of Empire were oddly similar to the ones we're hearing now for TLJ.

Return of the Jedi was the only time the professional critics and the general public were in agreement: that ROTJ was "the best Star Wars ever".

Check out Mikey's "How We See Star Wars" series for more information about it:

We already have a Star Wars thread, making this unneeded.

Closing.
