His journey becomes more and more personal. Leia and Han are near/equal protagonist in ESB. By RotJ whether he won or lost the final confrontation the ultimate outcome for the galaxy would have been the same.
It is clearly the PT that had retcon this idea of OT being the Skywalker saga.

Seriously, bruh? Leia is a Skywalker. So is Vader. Three of the main players in the original trilogy are Skywalkers. WTF are you talking about?

Where did he say this?
UncleBob:
"I want to make this movie go in a different direction, take some risks, and maybe even make some of the diehard fans a little mad."
Closest thing I can find. From a random Reddit thread with no actual souce though.

I also found this:

Which isn't a direct quote so much as a blogger taking his comments about the movie Brick and projecting that statement on his work with The Last Jedi. It'd be helpful if oohhboy provided a link to said statement since he's claimed it a few times. You'd think something like that would be pretty easy to drum up with a google search.

I looked a bit further, and found an article where he explicitly stated it wasn't his intention to split the fanbase or piss them off.

Knowing how oohhboy operates, he probably just heard something that suits what he wants to believe and went with it.
