Excepting some of the in-between bits (especially Rogue One) history has not looked kindly on anything Star Wars since ROTJ. Seriously, 1-3 were money-makers, but critical acclaim was nonexistent. I don't really care what professional critics think, since they're mostly just over-paid shills who are afraid of manual labor, but the fan criticism has been overwhelmingly negative. The remakes of 4-6 have also been poorly received by most fans. Episodes 7-8 have not been well received. I mean, the whole thing has become an absolute mess!
Honestly, I hope Episode 9 can just be a fun, enjoyable movie. There is no way to "fix" this broken saga. Perhaps they can just tell a good story?
