Yeah, its all mostly meh. The originals were great mostly because I was a kid. Prequels were trash, but 3 was the worst of them. 7 was only better because it looked like they were going back to the roots of SW. 8 and 9 were absolute trash. S1 of Andor and Mando were some of the best stuff they've done in that universe. The rest of it adds very little value at all.
That said, the universe itself is rich and interesting and I wish there was more content that dives into it. KOTOR was my favorite entry in the universe overall and arguably has the best writing.
Also, I would still love to see a buddy cop sitcom set in some metropolitan planet. Think Brooklyn 99 in space. Doesn't even have to be SW. I just want this show.
TWO was the worst of them, IMHO, but you deserve credit for realizing that 3 is overrated and a saber battle with lava and a bunch of good guys dying just makes it dark, not good. It has every issue that 1 and 2 do, and adds a few new ones.
Dial back Jar Jar, age Anakin up 5 years, and accept that Liam Neeson is the lead, and you've got a halfway decent Star War.
Two is only "better" due to the fact it was entirely unmemorable. I recall something about a cloning facility on a water world and some robot guy that wasn't a robot.
The worst sin in three IMHO was belaboring every little plot point to connect up to four. It was brutal to watch. In many ways it reminded me of the "writing" for the last season of GoT.
That would be one of the "new ones" I was thinking of, and they didn't even do it well. Leia remembers her real mother, explicitly in the script, so Lucas just says, "nah... it'd feel cooler if she died in childbirth." Make the nerds hand-wave something about the Force until I can rewrite and re-film Ep6.
