Say what you will.

I liked solo, a difficult story to shoehorn in, a tricky script to weave without much retcon, still a great story and surprisingly good Han (lacking only some darker hair dye) and Lando (no notes; outstanding)

I loved rogue one, and not just for the perfect ending.

Andor was perfection tarnished only by the knowledge it was ending.

TFA was derivative but still good. TLJ killed the sequels by killing the story and setting up the third movie as all but unmakeable. It's maybe killed anything else after it, and I pin the lack of a 10-11-12 series on that mess.

Mando was good until it focused too much on the child. It could have been Caine, traveling the universe and helping people in need while catching bad guys. 81 episodes at least.

Obi+wan was fucking incredible and, like Andor, only tarnished by ending.

These were, on balance, good years. We're gonna get Abrams or Berman, and know what franchisicide looks like.
