I liked the sequels, at least probably more than your average person, but I still think they are trash. The individual plot beats are fun, the cinematography is great, the characters feel like they largely fit in the universe, and it makes some decent political commentary. But bring it all together and it just doesn’t really make a lot of sense, moment to moment its great but you start to think even a little bit and something always feels a bit off.
I agree. I had a lot of hope after episode 7, but it turned out so bad. A lot of the individual elements, like you said, are good. But the whole trilogy is definitely less than the sum of its parts.

They are the most expensive bad fanfiction ever.
At least most of the spinoff stuff is better, if still not great.
