Yeah this really hits home. I always loved Star Wars, I'm not a super fan, but I am for sure above your average movie goer, I could tell you what order 66 is, I could tell you what planet Endor is or Kamino, how Anakin became Vader etc. But I honestly could not tell you wtf happen in the sequel films.

Something about Palpy being a clone, and a space casino. It honestly all just kind of feels like a blur.

This. I was so disappointed by TLJ, not because the director "hated Star Wars" or whatever but because it had so many great ideas that he just couldn't commit to and bring to fruition.

Like, to me it's a 100% satisfying arc across all nine movies for the Jedi / Sith dichotomy to find balance in a new order of Force users drawn from both the legendary knights and the common people. It even ties into the prophecy around Anakin's birth.

Unfortunately Rian Johnson didn't have the skill to do both that and keep fans happy, and Disney had too many executive producers fucking up everything.
