Fundamentally the sequel trilogy just had mediocre writing. They didn't care about the plot and they didn't have anything to say and it showed. The committee of suits only understands art on a superficial level. JJ Abrams is perfect for them; he is a competent director but the last time he gave a poo poo about the plot was like...Alias.

Although it was viewed as popular culture pap by many critics, even those who liked it, Lucas Star Wars was ultimately an auteur product. The closest thing we have going today is probably Avatar. (The one with blue people.)

Yeah Disney in general has had this problem a lot recently with their Marvel stuff as well. Secret Invasion probably being the pinnacle; people were expecting it to be the Andor of the MCU and instead they got.. idk Kenobi

Could we have one SW protagonist who doesn’t have a cute sidekick? No droid, no dog, no baby, just a miserable lonely dude.



No.

The cooler they try to make Star Wars, the lamer (and worse) it gets.
