I loved the OT as a kid, but thanks to the progressively-offensive disappointment that was the PT, that love didn't continue to grow into adulthood. The SE edits to the OT finally got under my skin in the worst way with the inclusion of Vader's 'NOOOOOOO' in RotJ, so it's slightly deflating to be reminded that the only way I can still enjoy the OT is via my old DVDs. The ST was a hot mess, but at least had more enjoyable cherry-picked moments than the PT, and the PT had already been enough of a letdown that I didn't have any expectations left for the ST to ruin.

Mandalorian is probably the only new SW media since the OT that I've genuinely enjoyed. It started off pretty great, but I have to say that, while side-material characters like Ahsoka was fine for a bit, I'm reaaally finding it hard to give a shit about the continued incursion of other CW / Rebels / whatever characters, especially when Mando / BobF expects you to have prior knowledge of them.

Nowadays there are simply much, much better alternatives to spend my time and energy on than obsessing over the Star Wars franchise.
