Funny, I disagree with almost everything you said in the first post šŸ˜ƒ I donā€™t think the sequel trilogy is better than the prequel trilogy (OK, maybe with the exception of TFA, that one was pretty enjoyable). I thought that the two anthology movies we got were ā€œOKā€ at best, but Iā€™ve seen them once and I donā€™t really think I will watch them again, I didnā€™t hate them or anything (I reserve that feeling for The Last Jedi), I just donā€™t feel the need to ever watch them again. And this comes from a person who watches the original trilogy once a year, and the prequel trilogy every couple of years.
I never read the comics or the novels and I donā€™t plan to, so I canā€™t say anything about them, but I absolutely disagree with Rebels. The first season was OK, the second and third had a few good episodes, but most of them were boring, and most of the fourth season was just OK with the exception of the final episodes - those were really good. But itā€™s nowhere on the level of Clone Wars - and I am talking about both of the animated shows. The Tartarkovsky cartoon is an amazing prequel to Episode 3, the CG series is a masterpiece which will probably never be topped.
And the worst thing of all is Lucasfilm broke the fandom. There is almost no excitement for Episode 9, which is something that I never thought I will say. There will be a new Star Wars movie next year and there are millions of people all over the world who loved the original trilogy but donā€™t plan to watch episode 9.
So no, I would say this is the worst situation Star Wars has been in a long time.
