Officially, the Star Wars franchise is considerably weaker than it was 15-20 years ago. It's diluted and pampers everything to try and make the PT look better. It's just a joke at this point beyond the egregious changes to the OT and the shoddy blu-ray color timing and other issues.

After ROTS I basically lost interest in the SW franchise in terms of anything coming out after 2005. I like some EU stuff (e.g. Thrawn), I'll always love the UOT, but at this point I don't give a shit about the current phenomenon that SW is.
