Each movie in the Trilogy made less money than the last and eroded a lot of the goodwill of the fanbase in the process.

The good will they singlehandedly brought back from the PT era before people started gasligtjing themselves into calling those masterpieces you mean.

Kid me enjoyed 1 and 3...and I still like them both mostly despite their flaws as an adult. 2 I feel is the weakest and has pacing issues, but has some good moments.

As for the Prequel era as a whole, are you forgetting about the massive resurgence of Star Wars around that time? Tons of great games came out thanks to the Prequels boosting interest in Star Wars again. Both of the KOTOR games, Battlefront 2, Force Unleashed, Rogue Squadron 2, etc. Lots of conventions were going on. The EU was still going strong and putting out interesting stories. There hasn't been a similar resurgence associated with the Sequel Trilogy.

Theres been a massive resurgence of star wars content as a whole since Disney bought it. This is undeniable. Its not focused on one era. It doesn't have to be

The EU was a mess that occasionally had some decent material come of it. Even most of rhe well regarded games and stuff wouldn't hold up narratively, like TFU.

The Sequel Trilogy failing for the most part is why it fell from those heights from the most part.

You keep saying "failing". In every regard imaginable you could begin to call the ST a failure, the PT failed worse. But no one calls the PT a failure. Why?

Simple. Because the ST isn't a failure either.

Now if Star Wars can get back to making movies that are well received,

Back to 2015?

That was the first SW film not largely reviled by the fanbase since ROTJ.

The brand has expanded to things we would've never in a million years gotten prior. Andor would've never happened pre Disney. Aphra would've never happened pre Disney. Fallen order would've never happened pre Disney.

You dont even have to like the movies, but its very much apparent to anyone viewing objectively that Star Wars has thrived under this brand. You were never going to like everything. Thats ok, no star wars fan does.

Toonstrack still hasn't recovered from how bad the sequel trilogy is.

Theres nothing to recover from, ironically enough. Its the fanbase still acting like a scorned ex. The brand itself has put out some unique, experimental content in this era and God willing will continue to.(i haven't finished skeleton crew yet but I've liked what I have seen). The fans will ignore it, come back ten years later and realize what they missed. That seems to be the MO now
