TFA had a lot of WTF things but if the sequels had given logical and good answers no one would be saying this. Yes there were many mystery boxes and questions to be answered but TLJ threw all the possible plot threads in the toilet making TFA retroactively a bad movie.
TRoS also seems to have thrown out the plot threads from TLJ. This is an ST trend starting with episode VII.

The Last Jedi already made it impossible for the sequels to be a good trilogy. The fact that TRoS is watchable at all is an achievement.
The problem starts with TFA. I don't know why people act like anything else.

Can't forget midichlorian blood.
That more or less broke the whole series. At least in terms of what the force is.
While it did ruin a lot of mysticism, I'd rather the creator add more insight to universe he made rather than Disney retrograde the series.

The ST went backwards with each movie. TFA was a ANH rehash. The Last Jedi removes the significance of RETURN OF THE JEDI. And TRoS is more nostalgia pandering just like TFA because JJ Abrams and Disney is afraid to piss off the audience.

Lucas was about to delve deeper into the Midichlorians he introduced. Now we're a left without his attempt to explain himself from the PT. Things that would have tied all three trilogies together. He likely knew this would piss people off again so he wanted Disney to make them on his behalf to (understandably) ease the stress. But Disney instead threw out Lucas' ST and opted for the safe route.

i like the idea of a power vacuum left by the fall of the empire. i think it would make interesting storylines.
Power vacuum is something else tho. I agree it would be interesting to see how the galaxy handles another government takeover, but I believe this era was was covered in the EU when Leia helped build the new republic after Episode VI.

I'm hoping to get into the EU someday.

i like the idea of a post-empire galaxy that is similar to a wild west; full of lawlessness and rapid expansion and exploitation.
Most of the galaxy has been explored tho. There are some outer rim planets like tatooine, but I think a frontier era would take place before the old republic.

I don't fit the bill at all. I didn't like any of it. Meanwhile, you dropped those nuggets about Luke being a Jedi master training new recruits, and Leia being a major figure in the new republic, which are things the EU featured prominently.

Luke had a temple and something happened to it. He wasn't ready to be a true master. He thought he was, due to his own deeds, but he was imperfect and it caused a lot of pain. We came in near the end of his story, not the middle.
I was just talking about the natural starting point and progress from the end of RotJ.

Luke was set to pass on his knowledge. Yoda wanted him to do this and there was nothing more to teach. Vader said Luke's training was complete. A sequel featuring this plot point was highly anticipated for decades. TFA takes place 30 years after RotJ and instead of starting off with Luke getting better, he actually got worse and completely failed as a jedi.

Leia was also set to help rebuild the republic. We never saw the new republic and couldn't get invested in it. For some reason Leia could lead a small rebel alliance to victory against the mighty Empire, but as general of the New Republic's military she gets put on the ropes by an upstart enemy army that was built right under her nose.

The sequels are fine in their own right, but Disney threw out decades of anticipation for rehash storylines and subverted expectations. At least the prequels, though heavily flawed, gave us fans the story we were waiting to see.

Oh. You're an Expanded Universe guy. That explains a lot.

You can have it. The books still exist. I don't care for them, in general.
So far I have read one star wars novel, only watched clone wars (2003), and have seen the christmas special recently out of curiosity. I've played a game or two.

I bring up the EU out of respect to the hundreds of stories created throughout the decades. George Lucas respected them enough to make some plot elements canon where he see fit. He would take the EU into account when writing. Palpatine, Dathomir, etc came from the books.

Disney disregarded the EU as potential adaptations, but still ended up using a lot of the same plot elements.

Aside from George Lucas' story not being completed and the Expanded Universe thrown out for worse versions of the EU plot lines and also post #15:

  • Vader's lack of presence in the concluding trilogy
  • Not beginning the ST from the natural starting point RotJ left with Leia's new republic and Luke's Jedi Order.
  • Rey Palpatine reveal implying strong connections with the force can be genetically inherited even if you're not a Skywalker
  • Hyperspace shenanigans

To me, they're great movies that I love and will watch for the rest of my life.

The prequels are pretty good movies that I like and will watch less often, but are still life-long.
It's one thing to accept and enjoy the Sequel Trilogy, however, you present yourself as someone who can't see or refuses to acknowledge the damage done to the lore and series as a whole.

I like TLJ and TRoS.

Yeah, I'm sure we were all sitting on the edge of our seat thinking about "evil dark side bacteria"

PT gave us the Clone Wars Era with the Old Republic existing prior to Episode I and the Empire existing after Episode III.

OT gave us the Rebellion Era with the Dark Times existing prior to Episode IV and the New Republic existing after Episode VI

ST gave us the first order era? With the Palpatine corrupting Ben Solo to kill off Luke's Jedi Order and amassing a huge army that can challenge the new republic prior to Episode VII... And then the Newer Republic(?) existing after Episode IX.

Basically at the end of TRoS the galaxy is at a very similar point as the end of RotJ. Which is dumb because not only do we miss out on entirely different era George Lucas wanted to create, but future generations will be forced to accept this as canon and eventually be happy to due to nostalgia.

Would have definitely taken universe building Whills and multiple Skywalker grandchildren over Disney.

The George Lucas era is canon. The Disney era is an alternate universe.

This could have been averted if Disney stuck with George Lucas' sequel trilogy to finish his final vision. Then Disney could have went on to make a spin off trilogy with Rey, Finn, Poe, Kylo Ren etc.

Its been shown in canon that it IS. Where do you pull your idea that its not from? The Skywalkers are the only Jedi ever shown to reproduce in the original trilogy, and theres never anything close to saying it was because of some force meddling.

Hell, it explains the Jedi not being "allowed" to reproduce. Theres plenty of evidence throughout all media. Its definitely a thing.
I didn't say Jedi cannot reproduce. I said being strong in the force isn't genetic unless you're a Skywalker.

Anyone can use the force just like Yoda was saying.

Worst part about the Rey Palpatine is that Disney seems to believe the force is genetically inherited. This is false. That's a Skywalker-only trait due to Anakin being fathered by the force itself.
