Kenobi - flawed but fun

Mando - Fun and great

BoBF - Flawed but fun

Andor - One of the best shows of the last decade

Star Wars isn't dead, it's not even dying. Discerning fans know that JJ just went full JJ, neutral fans probably don't hate the sequel trilogy nearly as much as we do. There are still many stories to tell in the universe, and Disney are still making money on their investment, so we will continue to get Star Wars content.

And hopefully that content will be good

As I grow older, I am more certain I don't hate The Last Jedi.

It's a flawed film, but for reasons most haters don't seem to understand.

If the film had featured characters other than Luke and Leia, it probably would have been loved by fans.

Even the prequels are enjoying a loving resurgence after having been hated on for years.

Give TLJ time and it will probably endure a similar fate. Rise of Skywalker was just the fan service of The Force Awakens turned up to 11. I haven't come around to calling that one good yet.

"Flawed but Fun" is basically Star Wars in its entirety. The movies are always bad when they forget this. But like, even the original? Those performances aren't winning awards. Those plots are, like, b-. But they're -fun-. The tech is amazing for the time.
