In TLJ's defence and while I prefer TFA as a movie more (TFA > TLJ >>> ROS)... after finishing TFA in theatres I was already disappointed and I think it already set the ST up to suck by resetting the series back to do OT again. I wasn't at all interested in the theorizing which was so heavily focused on who Rey's parents are and that was just one of many dumb plotline retreads for me.

I thought TFA was a fine, modestly enjoyable movie on its own (not dragged down by terrible B & C plots like TLJ) but a horrible backstep for the franchise as a whole cohesive piece, which the ST continued to prove and now I don't want to see anything that follows. Even the enjoyable content in the in-between period like Mandalorian/Boba keeps in the back of your mind that it all has to eventually lead into the First Order garbage. Just fuck it and go to an entirely distant time period.

Rogue One, while clearly linked to the OT was still very much its own thing (until the last few minutes of New Hope fanservice) and I just got to sit back and enjoy it on its own.
