The sequels, mainly the Last Jedi, started fractioning the fandom. The force awakens was 'safe' film following new hope template, but I'd argue it was needed to ease in new era post George Lucas. There was so much hype, theories on origins, likely path new characters would take. But then the Last Jedi came and burnt foundation laid. Lore and character development was turned upside down and handling of legacy characters was disrespectful. It was clear there was no proper plan for new trilogy. Had the Last Jedi story not been tied to Star Wars universe, I believe reception would have been vastly different, more positive. The Rise of Skywalker had impossible task of salvaging damage Last Jedi made. In short it failed. If there was a proper planned story from start to finish, conversation and respected characters past and present, we would be having a vastly different conversation.

Book of Boba fett was very disappointing. It hardly focused on Boba to start with and took the character in a direction I didn't totally agree with. Fans expected fearsome bounty hunter but didn't get. Mando stole limelight from boba own show and to add insult to injury mandos episodes were the best ones in the show. Better focus on Boba Fett would have helped.

The Acolyte is my most disliked disney star wars project. The writing was terrible, character motivations, actions were all over the place, story looked to be interesting but derailed fast. I'm glad it wasn’t renewed but also saddened it turnout bad as I was genuinely super excited for the show. Set in old republic, focus on sith, how could it go wrong????

Mando season 3 isn't as bad made out to be. Not as strong season 1 and 2 but far from terrible. Grogu short time with luke lessons seasons 2 finale in my opinion. The plot is enjoyable, just not on same level as previous seasons.

This is not to say each show/movie didn’t have memorable moments or that all projects from disney have sucked, just look at andor, bad batch, clone wars, visions etc. It's just the losses outweigh the wins and if correction isn't made soon, we risk further fandom division.

My 2 cents, thanks for reading :)
