I noticed this with Star Wars the other day: the number of bad movies in the series now positively dwarfs the good. The Star Wars brand has been so thoroughly tainted that it is now a reliable marker of the absence of quality.
The same thing has happened to star trek, predator, terminator, and alien. Even LOTR is now a coin flip after the atrocious Hobbit trilogy. The studios have tapped these franchise wells so frequently and so ineffectively that you are best served avoiding these IPs altogether.

Good/Bad ratio for Star Wars is 7/4.
