@AngelFox In fairness, the idea that the original trilogy stars were failures didn't exactly start in The Last Jedi. Force Awakens established that Leia's new Republic had failed to stop the rise of the First Order, Han had lost the Falcon and returned to crime, the two of them had raised a genocidal maniac, and Luke was off hiding on an island somewhere ignoring it all.
Oh, and then it turned out later that they hadn't even managed to kill Palpatine properly.
You can dislike the theme of the previous generation screwing up but that's way more on Abrams than Johnson.
@GameOtaku Not all companies are set up from working from home. They would need to sort out equipment and/or software for all the production staff, which takes time and money. Trying to get studio-quality audio from voice actors would be particularly difficult.
Add in that work will be going slower as everyone gets used to working from home and the disruption of looking after children or sick relatives, and they might just have decided it's not worth it. Easier to shut everything down for a while and catch up afterwards.
