But once the plot (or semblence of one) settled in afterwards, I just smh'd at it when looking at the two prior movies for context. For me it's an odd movie that I disliked a ton more after the initial watching. The Last Jedi though, I hated that movie from the get go.

The biggest problem with their sequels is that they did not write all 3 prior to filming The Force Awakens, thus zero continuity and no end goal for the story.  It was clear that the second and third movies were not telling the same story as the first.

I do think The Mandalorian is probably the best thing Disney has put out as far as Star Wars goes though. Yes even better than Rogue One.

I love the dirty, lived in feeling The Mandalorian has, and Pedro Pascal just absolutely kills it in everything he’s in (GoT, Narcos, etc).

Rogue One used the winning formula from The Empire Strikes Back.  By this I mean they wrote a great story that resulted in the bad guys clearly winning the day, but giving reason to have faith that the good guys will win the war.
