The Star Wars fanbase is indeed difficult, and in many ways impossible to please.It was not about Iger's ego not allowing him to see issues with the sequels, it was about Iger forgetting that the Star Wars fanbase is notoriously impossible to please and full of some deeply, deeply rotten people (and I say this as a member of said fanbase) and that even if the sequels were the best films ever made in the history of cinema, there'd be a line out the door of people with lists of reasons they hated them as long as my forearm.
It was perfectly reasonable to design the land with the sequels in mind, especially when the reception to the first of them was massive enthusiasm. Very few could've predicted what was going to happen culturally around those movies. By the time people started acting stupid, it was way too late for them to change course on that.
You really, really cannot blame everything you don't like on Bob Iger and/or his ego. Issues run much deeper than Iger as a lone figure, and in some cases you're drawing a connection to Iger that just isn't even really even there.
Let's critique Bob Iger for real, tangible reasons (there is no shortage of proven things to call him on) instead of the fan fiction you write about him.
Still, Disney could have done a much better job in pleasing the existing base.
Rather, they alienated them and tried to court a new base.
I don't know how much of that was on Iger.
