I gave Disney the benefit of the doubt when they shelved the EU and JJ talked about doing something completely new. I was impressed by the lengths they went to to get the look right (even hunting down the original lenses). I went to quite some lengths avoiding spoilers.
It didn't take long in cinema to realise I was watching a soft reboot trying to dismantle the original trilogy. I felt betrayed and disgusted. Since then I haven't touched anything Star Wars and completely started to boycott everything Disney.
If you ever decide to try again, I would recommend Rogue One and Andor. They're the best movie and best show to come out of the nonsense.
Well, Andor seems to be worth the watch. But I'm not subbing to Disney for that and generally share your sentiment. One of these days I'll find Andor in Discs...
Andor is the best piece of Art to come out of Star Wars. It transcends the IP as a piece that I would recommend to anyone, while only enriching the original material/world for those that have seen at least some of the original (6) movies.
I hope you find it and watch it any way you can 🦜🏴☠️
I just realised that TFA might have done more than just killing my interest in Star Wars. I think that was the last time I actually went and watched a movie in cinema.
Edit: Holy macaroni! It really has been more than 10 years since I went to the cinema...
