I didn't call them masterpieces. Acknowledging they had their good bits is something fans should be able to do so many years later.

While there have been some good projects (I listed some), when referring to the main and most popular stuff (the movies), I have to disagree.

The movies being the "main" and "most popular stuff" was always just an assumption, not a rule. Expanding to other media especially live action tv has been something optioned for the franchise for decades, and honestly? Yeah, the franchise has shown it can work very very well on the format given that its such a large universe with millions of stories and characters.

The movies don't have to be this franchises bread and butter at this point, and thats a good thing. We didn't get this opportunity before because Lucas didn't want it and Lucasfilm didn't have the money for it.

Video games as a whole us an industry in turmoil; and the video gamer base has found itself embroiled in controversy after controversy for nearly 2 decades running now, so that was never sustainable in hindsight. But its not like we haven't gotten solid games thus era either.

You can really only make the argument you're making if you devalue anything star wars that isnt a movie.

The Prequels had a resurgence of the Star Wars brand associated with them in terms of relevance, games, side projects associated with them after a long period of mostly being dormant.

Star wars was never not relevant, at any point from the release of ROTJ to the release of TPM. There were multimedia releases, toys, comics and books virtually that entire time and the brand itself remained in the public conscience. Sure the movies revitalized it, but that was always going to happen.

Prior to the Disney buyout; there absolutely was a dormancy in significant SW content. Clone wars was pretty much the only mainstream thing, there was that planned video game that may or may not have been good, but theres a reason this buyout was welcomed with open arms when announced and you can find threads even on this site proving this.

Rogue One came out in 2016, so I disagree with your year choice.

If you're going to try and claim TFA wasn't well recived then you cannot deny your own bias here.

Getting away from the unplanned mess the Sequel Trilogy was should improve the movies at any rate, particularly if it means the series gets away from interacting with the OG cast (hard to do since most are dead by the ST end) and you know actually plan things out.

As for Streaming, it is a mixed bag. For every Mando and Andor we got a Bobba Fett and Obi Wan. .

Obi Wan wasn't negatively received by normal people either. Once again, it was this toxic fanbase decaying anything and still scorned over old hat topics. And not to mention the racism.

The vast majority of star wars releases aren't planned out as a whole picture. The OT wasn't. Clone wars wasn't. Most of the EU certainly wasn't. So why is it now that you need to 'plan" everything out to get good content? The only significantly planned thing was the PT, and that didn't do it many favors.

I thought it was good. It just isn't really what I want out of Star Wars

And therein lies the problem. Getting good content isn't enough anymore. Ir has to fig you already concievd notions of what the franchise should, or could, be. And there are no two star wars fans who share this opinion.
