The space politics of the prequels and clone wars are boring. The Sequel has zero world building, just removing the boring politics does not make it way better. We literally get no explanation about what happened to the Empire or the New Republic nor do we ever understand why the first order and the new rebellion aka resistance exists.

We don’t know why the Jedi order collapsed except for a BS flashback which is poor storytelling.

The need Lucasfilm had for books and comics and other things to fill these in does not absolve them of making a poor series of good-looking movies with some fun moments.

You want me to do homework, play every game, read every comic, and novel to understand your terrible movie, you failed.

The movies should not have been an empty husk to be filled in later. Or need people to headcanon things just so it makes sense.
