It still hurts thinking about the kids who saw TROS in theaters and left crying because of what happened with Ben. It's just heartbreaking. SW should be for kids. They shouldn't be crying over it like that. There should be happy endings for beloved characters.
I remember crying over Padme's death when I was a kid, but at least her death wasn't meaningless at the time. Of course, now her death, Han, Luke, Leia, and Anakin's death are all meaningless, but I was able to handle her death as a kid because it wasn't this hopeless ending.
Now I'm wondering if Adam knows how kids reacted to Ben's death.
