I don’t support neither the George Lucas hate, nor the unconditional worshipping of the man. I have a much more balanced idea about him: I think he’s a genius and I love all 6 films he created, for better or for worse (Indeed, I almost always defend him about the story choices he made in the Prequels). But I think sometimes he made mistakes, and I don’t like some of his ideas (the Whills for example). I also think he should have paid more attention to the continuity and respected the authors of books and comics more, because what he helped to do together with Dave Filoni in TCW was a disaster in terms of continuity. I have no problem in saying that if his Sequel Trilogy had materialized then I probably would have hated it, despite I love both the Prequels and the Originals. But as I said in one of my previous posts, I highly doubt that he would ever get to create a Sequel Trilogy, since he constantly repeated for years that he would never do it, and that the Saga would have only 6 films.
In summary, it can be said that I don’t look at who is the author of a particular work, I judge that work exclusively according to my personal tastes, regardless of who its author is. If Jesus Christ had come to Earth and created The Rise of Skywalker, I’d have hated the film anyway. The same applies to George.
