I definitely agree that Disney believes the sequel trilogy to be a failure, but I don’t think it’s 100% the truth. Yes, each of the sequel trilogy movies made progressively less money at the box office, but all of them made over 1 Billion dollars, 7 made 2 Billion, 8 made 1.3, and 9 made just over 1 billion. And if we’re talking about critical reception most everyone liked Force Awakens, those that dislike it are 100% in the minority, Last Jedi had a very mixed reception, but to say that most people hated it I think is a slight exaggeration. Tons of people hated the movie, but there’s also a sizeable amount of the fandom that loved the movie, and critics loved it as well. It’s only really Rise that almost everybody disliked. What I’m trying to say is that despite the perception that the sequel trilogy was a complete failure that’s not actually true, if we’re going to take it as a whole I’d say that reception is actually really mixed on the sequels. In fact, the current reception of the sequels is still much better than the reception that the prequels got at the time. What’s really driving the perception that the sequel trilogy was a failure is that Disney is refusing to do anything with the characters or time period of the sequels. People hated the prequel trilogy but Lucas pitched The Clone Wars and the show eventually became amazing, and the perception of the prequels improved. What I think Star Wars really needs is someone who isn’t afraid of doing things with the sequel trilogy’s characters or timeline. I think it’s mostly that they need new leadership as it’s clear that Kathleen Kennedy isn’t really cutting it as the lead on Star Wars. Outside of The Force Awakens, Rogue One, The Mandalorian, and Arguably Last Jedi, everything else has either not gotten good critical reception, or been successful financially. Obi-Wan and Bobba Fet are critical failures despite getting excellent viewership, and their best stuff is The Mandalorian which is declining in popularity, and Andor which despite being acclaimed by most of its watched just didn’t get a big enough audience, I don’t think doing another sequel thing would hurt. Maybe during the Star Wars celebration when they announce the 3 movies they have in development something will actually happen, but they need new leadership I think
