You're not alone. I remember the announcement of the Star Wars prequels filled me with such joy. Now this announcement fills me with contempt. 

I really don't know what's worse: three shitty prequels in six years, or one mediocre, designed-by-committee Star Wars spin-off every year until we're all dead.

So the next 5 unreleased films + spin-offs are all mediocre designed-by-committee? dunno seems to me you just weren't a fan of JJ's version. Plus stop pretending the originals were better than they were, 2 of the 3 films weren't even good in the OG Trilogy!

Bleh, this is so disappointing. Talk about Star Wars fatigue...

I had hoped they'd at least take a breather, maybe give it a decade before the next trilogy. And a TV Show? Fuck that.

Why is the TV show a bad idea? They've pretty much had a TV show on air for Star Wars since 2003. It's hardly anything new

No, I am a fan of The Force Awakens. I'd rank only A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back above it. TFA is more consistent than Return of the Jedi, which starts strongly but sputters in its second and third acts.

If the next 47 Star Wars movies prove to be great, then I'll gladly eat crow. However, based on Disney's track record with cinematic universes I expect a whole lot of movies that are either passable or workshopped within an inch of their lives, or both. Disney has a way of gentrifying, homogenizing, and serializing its properties -- something I'd rather not happen to Star Wars.
