To answer the question in the OP, I think I still haven’t fully come to terms with how the ST turned out. I was so excited before TFA and it didn’t disappoint. It was the movie I never thought I would see and I couldn’t wait for more. But TLJ and Carrie Fisher’s death pretty much wrecked me and TROS may very well be the biggest film-going disappointment of my life. I’m not going to regurgitate points that have already been brought up a million times but the sequel trilogy kind of turns the whole saga into one giant tragedy. It all ends up feeling so nihilistic and pointless and that’s not what I want Star Wars to be but it is impossible to undo it now. Thinking about the ST mostly just makes me sad. I haven’t re-watched any of the ST since 2019. Maybe a fanny and sad comment coming from a 35-year-old-man but that’s how I feel about it.
