See, even as much as the prequels were lambasted, it was NEVER this bad as despite the scripts and dialogue, the world building was on point and could easily be built upon most prominently with Clone Wars.
The Disney stuff? There's NOTHING to build on as prominent former characters are either dead, emasculated or both, characters do dumb things to justify set pieces and any lore they try to bring in is easily contradicted by what follows it.
So they killed Star Wars thinking that they didn't need to follow the world building Lucas had in place.
"Fun" is something uniquely lacking in modern cinema; the closest we get "sardonic self-deprecation".
The 90s Mario Bros movie, for the absolute insanity of it, was way more fun than either of the "accurate" new corporate committee slop products and the only one I'd actually rewatch by choice.

And even though there was a lot of cringe dialogue in the prequels they at least also had tons of material for jokes and memes

Fun died when sincerity died. Everything is cringe now, so better hide it under several layers of irony.
Yeah, everything is full of snide little quips and several layers of "irony". It's the Redditfication of media and I fucking hate it.
People like to dunk on that movie but it was charming and left an impression. Who could forget the goomba elevator scene?
Darths and Droids alone justifies the existence of the prequels in my book.
