What did you want the new movies to be then, romantic comedies?
No, I wanted new stories with new foes, and challenges, not another Empire vs rebels retread, and another Jedi apprentice betraying his master. Been there, done that. Now the victories of the old guard have been undone to give us more of the same. This approach devalues both the victories of the old and the new, since the galaxy can just be reset on a whim and without context or explanation. What will make the probable victory of Rey, Finn, and Poe so special at the end of Episode IX? History tells us that the answer is very little, since another “Emperor” with unlimited resources, stormtroopers, and Tie-fighters can be pulled from behind the curtain to continue the conflict ad nauseum.
