The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

While episode 4 was such a teenie movie, 5 and 6 were, despite being totally overhyped, actually quite radical, and not just in their iconography.
The prequels had potential, but were butchered, mainly by awful CGI.
The sequels weren't bad in my book, just way too similar to the original 4-6.

Well the first one certainly was. The other two were rather memorable in how bad they were.

I remember enjoying The Force Awakens in the cinema, but I probably enjoyed it about as much as I would have enjoyed rewatching A New Hope, because frankly they're the same movie.

I started watching the 2nd one in the new trilogy (don't even remember the name) and got bored. Never watched the 3rd one.

And then there was Rogue One, which I also watched in cinema. I did enjoy it, but it was also an absolute nothing burger of a movie with 0 lasting impact or characters worth remembering.

I found Rogue One a satisfying conclusion to the independent Andor story.

Yes, they copied the original Star Wars trilogy but done bad. RIP Star Wars.

Yes it was it was just the first two or fourth and fifth all over.
