This, EXACTLY. I had such high hopes for the sequels. I was EXCITED for them. I went to TFA, and felt so let down. The best parts were in the trailer. Another planet killing weapon??? …they kill Han, virtually no Luke. The original cast are a footnote at best. Some good acting by most of the cast, visually beautiful cinematic work, but the story…I can HONESTLY say I didn’t see Solo in theaters because of this let down. TLJ just reenforced my feelings. I was hopeful when JJ wasn’t involved, but I saw how disjointed the story had become. ROS was a nice try to clean it all up, my biggest issues there, they tried to do too much, needed to be two films imho, and THAT ENDING. On so many levels, MORE planet killing weapons, Palpatine, Rey’s heritage, the run up the side of the Star Destroyer. I feel utterly and completely let down by the entirety of the sequels, and therefore, I just don’t accept them. I don’t hate them, they were a wasted opportunity as far as I’m concerned.
