With the exception of the excellent Rogue One, all disney star wars movie (I haven't seen ROS, not going to) feel like fanfiction. Re-hashing the main beats from canon, poor writing, no overall plan for the trilogy.. The last jedi pretty much killed what was a guaranteed event movie every christmas if it had been handled by semi-competent writers who love the material. When you see what can be done with The Mandalorian, disney is almost taunting us that they could write a good trilogy the whole time if they felt like it. And that has nothing to do with streaming: the Mandalorian is a thinly-disguised western, but it is well written, with approachable characters that do believable things. It's fun to watch. Imagine that! I haven't been entertained in a movie theater more than twice in two years, and that was Alita Battle Angel and Ready Player One.
Or maybe the Disney star wars movies are crap? (Score:2)

Fan fiction would be more coherent.
