Exhibit B: The Thone Room fight in TLJ. They had to digitally remove a blade from one scene because it was going to kill Rey as the choreography was that bad. The whole fight is rubbish and treats both the general premise of a 2v12orwhatever and the lore of Star Wars with zero interest or attention.
Kylo frequently takes action doing things that just don't make sense like stabbing his lightsaber into the floor. He does this again in TROS when he turns around and holds it against his back to deflect a strike - except the editing of the move means it takes. for. fucking. ever. and so the pacing is horrendous for what should have worked if it didn't have so many cuts for a combat move.
There's also the overall storytelling problem where the antagonist is beaten in every. fucking. film. Kylo loses to Rey in TFA. He loses again to Jake in TLJ. Then he loses to Rey again in TROS when she sucker punches him and stabs him with his own lightsaber after he gets distracted by his mother dying and feels the death through the Force!
There are so many things the Disney trilogy can be criticised for and it doesn't even need to deal with the actual characters to do so, it's that badly made. It's going to provide content for film making classes for fucking decades as ways to not make a movie/trilogy!
Imagine a competent team making something similar like the throne room scene with good choreography and a bit of sense. I could see that happen and it still wouldn't be Star Wars. One of my pet peeves with the prequels is to try and one up the original trilogy which is more subdued, this is like that on steroids while pissing all over the original trilogy.
No they weren't. They were highly polished turds. That doesn't make them "well made" in any sense of the words.

They're definitely wrong about that. They just chose an arbitrary definition of "well made" that lets them take a contrarian position.
