Honestly, I’m harsher on 7 than is deserved in a vacuum, because of how any potential it had was all squandered in 8 and especially 9. I even enjoyed parts of 8 purely for the visual spectacle it offered (krait and a lot of the space scenes especially the hyperdrive kamikaze)…hell I even enjoyed parts of Solo. I think the biggest problem was the lack of a single overarching vision for post Lucas SW. Well, that and that parasite Kathleen Kennedy
I agree wholeheartedly. 9 is a complete trainwreck of a story done way better in Dark Empire (and I'm not a huge fan of the comic, but they have a nice artstyle so it's fun for me to flip through my copy and read the trilogy once in a while). I like 8 more than your average Disney star wars hater for the beauty of the shots, but I agree the plot is a little silly, it feels like episode 8.5 not 8 (Ren killing Snoke followed by their fight with the guard before the kamikaze was a wonderfully made sequence and the peak of non Rogue One Disney star wars). I also really enjoyed Solo except for the Lando robot thing, but that's like maybe 5 minutes that I can go to the bathroom or something. Aside from that I haven't kept up with any of the shows, and aside from Mando season 1 I'm pretty happy about it. Never watched Andor, maybe I should since I hear such high praise over it.
