;_; Star Wars legends fan, I will continue to resent Disney forever for blighting one of my favorite franchises. But yeah new “Star Wars” content has ceased to excite me. When the acolyte came out and I saw the reviews I was completely unsurprised.

Let me blow this wide open. I don’t think anything went wrong with it, there was just too much Star Wars and I stopped caring. The same with Marvel stuff , I watched it all and then bam I couldn’t be bothered to watch Endgame and I haven’t watched any since. And I’ve always been more of a Trekkie. I watched every single episode of every season of every Star Trek but I just can’t be arsed to watch the last seasons of New Worlds, it is fine but I have had my fill. Or maybe I got old and it just doesn’t do it for me any more?

I've approached Star Wars like, there are pieces of it I really do enjoy and love. Like lightsabers, they're fucking awesome. Some of the gadgetry, the tech and stuff is fucking awesome.
Everything else like about the whole Force thing, Sith/Jedi philosophies and everything in between, that's neither here or there for me.
That's the same approach I'm having with lots of other big, overinflated pop-culture things. I'm here for the appetizers, but not the entire meal.

Me thirty years ago. In 1977 my entire life revolved around Star Wars. Still haven't seen the last movie

I'm a huge star wars fan, every time I hear star wars fans complaining about Star Wars it's literally just this:
Nah, the new trilogy was just garbage. Not even garbage for Star wars, just bad movies in general. The inconsistent themes and storytelling of the first two left such a shit taste in my mouth I still haven't bothered to watch the third.

All the people who know how it supposed to be good are left by now. Only those who have no idea how good it used/supposed to be stayed. Nobody else but them cares if they say "it's good now". In other words: fanboy echo chamber.

This whole thread is just ignoring Clone Wars, Rebels & Bad Batch. (And the "Tales of" series.)

The last Star Wars movie I enjoyed was Jedi: Survivor.
Ironically, the last Indiana Jones movie I enjoyed was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

It stopped being any good after "Episode VI". And before it, it was just a kids fairy tale in a space-themed Trenchcoat.
Loved the 4,5,6. Then I warched the "1" and thought what a shit film. Stopped after half of the 2, never looked back.
I remember watching parts of the original trilogy and thinking they were interesting but were ultimately full of that boring interpersonal drama stuff. When the prequels came along, they really got me into the world building aspect of the story and gave me a love for Star Wars as a whole. After that and getting older, I gained a greater appreciation for the older films as well, even though I'm still not much a fan of interpersonal drama stuff (and, perhaps unsurprisingly, movies in general.)
From what I understand, the sequel trilogy doesn't fit very well with the established world building, and is iffy on the interpersonal drama as well, so I don't have much desire to watch them.
sorry, i'm too busy enjoying The High Republic. but farewell to you!
I stopped caring after the second trilogy, tbh. And even that, IIRC having watched them quite a few years after they were released.
