TopicStar Wars as a 9 movie story is so awful. I can't believe people like the series

They reset it so that the Empire never lost
Nah they just had the remaining troops grab the left over equipment and start raising hell again. It's not a retcon. Though I can see where you're coming from in terms of devaluing the ending of the OT.

the Empire still controls the universe
That was more something that happens between 7 and 8. In 7, the FO felt like sort of a blip on the radar that ended up having more bite than anyone expected. Then in 8 they were suddenly rulers of the galaxy with no explanation. I dunno, maybe they went around bluffing that they could blow up the system if they didn't submit or something. Kinda dumb but then again so was just about everything in 8.

Palpatine was reset as well
He was resurrected. Happens all the time in fiction. It was dumb, but it was also an episode 9 thing instead of a trilogy thing.

They make so that the previous 6 movies are completely inconseqential and have nothing to do with the last 3 movies besides cameos.
The OT didn't have any loose ends to tie up. Of course it was going to be related in continuity only. I don't get why this is a problem.

Then they undid all the lore previously established by making Rey into an omnipotent god with almost no explanation other than being related to Palpatine even though Palpatine was trained by a Sith lord for years. He wasn't naturally the way he was and even he had limitations in the first 6 movies
Ep 9 dropped the ball in so many ways. Before then, we could chalk it up to the episode 7 subtitle, and I really kinda liked that.

But anyway, I don't see why this is a break of lore. If anything, it just implies he was naturally predisposed in addition to being trained. Big deal.
