Honestly, anything he would have made would have been better than the dumpster fire that was the sequel trilogy.

Somehow, Jar Jar Binks survived.....

I hate you for making me hear that in proper Jar Jar voice in my head

Yeah, the films have really dropped off in quality, but I love the TV series and did enjoy the recent Mandalorian film. It didn't try to stray outside of its lane as a localized Star Wars story and a summer blockbuster.

Yeah honestly they just need to drop the idea of Canon try something if it doesn't work out drop what didn't work and try again. Not everything based on a universe needs to be connected.

Maybe, but what's leaked from the story treatments did not inspire a ton of confidence. I guess it might have been more thought-provoking?

Am I the only one on planet earth that sort of enjoys the prequel movies?

You turn off your brain and ignore all the plot holes and silliness and cheesiness, just like any other Star Wars content, including the first movies.

It's not that serious lol. It's not made to be that serious.
