They didn't ruin star wars for one

For two, the vast majority of EU material is FAR worse. I love Zahn, but the Thrawn trilogy is not good, despite some high points.

Because they follow maybe three low-bar formulas.

By approaching it not as "hmm, how can we expand on the continuing story that rotj left off with?"
And instead going
"
We own star wars now. We need to maximize profits of this ip. To persue this, we require the following:
1. Lots of new but pointless characters that will become toys. Phasma
2. Fit into social trends like female protagonist. Did you not see how much $$$ Hunger Games made?
3. Clone parts of old trilogy, but as new characters. We need a new darth vader, a new palpatine, a new r2d2, a new han solo, etc. All these will become toys. We aren't original.
"

Basically Disney thought they could productize it more than SW already was instead of trying to come up with a compelling story. The only reason people bought old SW merch was because it had a compelling story.
But don't expect big execs to understand that.
Just make a clone of an existing character like r2d2 so we can sell that ball droid as a remote control car!

All of those are good movies, except Age of Ultron which is great. Iron Man 2 is the weakest, but it's not bad, jus stretched too thin.

They haven't ruined Star Wars. The sequel trilogy is a disappointment, but Solo and Rogue One were good movies. I think they need to explore some new time periods in the Star Wars universe. Ideally they should start creating stories that take place before the prequels. I'm not saying they need to completely adapt KOTOR into a movie or series of movies, but that certainly would be an interesting era of Star Wars to show audiences.

TC you gotta understand that people who were disillusioned by TLJ are in the vast minority. I always thought I was a huge star wars fan, but the current fans have made it very clear that I am not since I lost interest after the last movie.

You gotta know that to most people it's not ruined, and in fact still beloved. I don't understand, I don't agree with it, but there you have it

I'm personally baffled by everyone being so set in their opinion. The movie has some truly amazing shots, and some truly awful scenes. I personally adore the movie despite its flaws, but I'll never get the people who don't see how others feel differently with this.

Oh of course not. But it wasn't bad by any means, GOTG 1 was just lightning in a bottle.

I'll be honest, I find Disney completely fucking up a money printing franchise far more entertaining than if they had gotten it "right".
