How come every Disney Star Wars movie since Rogue One has been shit

Maybe it's because of all the dorky ass fans that demand something, anything. And that's exactly what you get.
Have you seen these people

Strong female leads are “woke”? And that was the problem with the Disney trilogy?

Don’t know what you mean by “whiny pussy beta males across the board,” but the leads in the original series trilogy and the prequels were emo as fuck. And what was the lesbian scene?

Girl on girl p_o_r_n is always in good taste.

They did an amazing job with Rogue One but could not replicate it. In fact, none of their other Star Wars content seems to even fit with Star Wars. Why did they start out so good and the epically fail with everything else?

Because of really bad writing with no respect or even knowledge for lore and what came before. Disney wants to brand its own Star Wars characters so they trash legacy characters to prop up their own. It’s why the Disney parks Star Wars lands have almost no OT characters other than Chewbacca.

I actually think there's some truth to this, Disney wants THEIR characters to be THE characters. Which, it's not surprising for them to want it there's just so much inconsistency. And they've got some good characters, so many just felt so misused or poorly written.

(Or a blatant ripoff of the EU despite Kathleen Kennedy saying she had no previous lore to work with, or something).
 
Personally, I thought the anthologies are way better of the movies. Rogue One we know about and Solo was fun, not the best movie ever but it was an entertaining watch (especially considering no one had any expectations for it).

Boba Fett and Kenobi both suffered from poor direction/writing, there's some cool ideas/concepts in both and while I enjoyed watching both they just couldn't put it all together for the most part with them and the quality dropped.

The sequels were....yeah. Just feels like such a missed opportunity.

Yeah. I would describe the treatment of legacy characters as hostile. What they did to Luke was atrocious, even Obi Wan felt like a background character in his own show, which created numerous plot holes as well.

Finn could have been a much better character. A storm trooper turned good. Instead they kind of made him a sniveling coward who just needed things to do.

The “legends” material gave them plenty to work with but instead Disney decided to de-canonize it.
 
I liked the original three Star Wars movies especially the first one. None of the Disney movies live up to the originals. Their first and last were ok. The one where Princess Lea is floating outside the spaceship. That one was the worst.
 
Eh, Star Wars only bats like .250 in terms of actual good movies. A New Hope, Empire, and Rogue One are good. Everything else is mediocre to shitty.

Return of Jedi isn't bad, especially the big battle at the end and the Death Star scenes between Luke, Vader, and the Emperor. Those Death Star scenes are some of the most epic scenes in all of Star Wars. The space battle is really awesome as well.

I also like how the primitive Ewoks used trickery and terrain to overwhelm a superior foe and help the rebels to victory.

I do find the Jabba part of ROJ to be a little stale.

I agree, not bad. That's just an okay movie IMO though. I can't stand the Ewoks.
 
This is what I wrote more than a decade ago:
The problem is that Star Wars was opera. And you can't sequelize opera. It's doomed to fail. Sorry.

Wait and give just a few hours to "Fidelio 2: Leonore and Flore vs. MechaPizarro" before you make that kind of absolute statement :wink:
