The most satisfying aspect was the simple fact, that technically these films are pretty much perfect. The designs, worlds, special effects, action sequences, sound design and the great acting match some of the best we’ve seen in Star Wars. Seriously, a the new cast is great and they did wonders with the material they had to work with.

The disappointment lies in the creative aspects of this set of films. There is no interesting story to tell, it feels like they tried to base the direction completely on opinion polls, memes and Reddit posts. And they failed spectacularly doing even that. The various backstories that are hinted at at various spots in the trilogy seem way more interesting than what we were actually watching. This has been a wasted opportunity and a textbook example of a mismanaged entertainments franchise.
