It is fatigue, but not SW fatigue. No, it's bad/mediocre SW fatigue. If the film's had actually been good/great, no one would be complaining about 1 SW every year. Hell, Marvel put out 3 and they all saw/will see success. 1 a year isn't going to kill a brand. 1 a year of divisive garbage, that the movie company defends by name calling dissenters, will. 

It's cute when Star Wars fans think Star Wars is automatically equivalent to Marvel. 

It's not. Marvel has 70+ year of established *stories* and fully fleshed out characters with real character arcs and thousands of established plots (like say the Infinity Gauntlet which was written 25 years+ ago) set in "anything goes" universe that can go into dozens of different genres, sci-fi, action, magic, urban heroes, literal kings/queens, horror, hell Marvel can have dinosaurs too. 

Star Wars is a bunch of boring celibate monks who's personality is mainly their lightsaber (oooooh purple lightsaber! what an awesome character!), smugglers, or Sith. 

Remove Harrison Ford from Star Wars and it gets exposed for being very dull because no one else is remotely relatable in those movies. Starlord, Thor, Peter Parker, Tony Stark, even Deadpool all these characters have tons of personality, flaws, character arcs ... Boba Fett? Fuck outta here with that, that's an action figure with a neat looking mask and nothing more, that's supposed to carry an entire fucking movie?

Nothing else is Marvel (as DC is finding out). Star Wars is more like Jurassic Park or Lord of the Rings if you made a yearly movie with unconnected side films for those, by year 3/4 you would start to see franchise fatigue unless you have an epic story conclusion going on. But if LOTR did shit like Fellowship (2001), The Dwarves Rebellion (2002), The Two Towers (2003), Legolas: The College Years (2004), Return of the King Part I (2005), Gimli: The Movie (2006), Return of the King Part II (2007) ... people would be tired of that shit by 2004. 

Its also cute when you just go venting without having a decent argument.

The publishing of star wars stories and lore started 42 years ago.

It has a massive universe and tons of fleshed out characters and its not difficult to do that research before you go assuming in your post, same goes for Tolkiens Middle earth universe that is even bigger and is in my opinion a lot deeper in lore than Marvel's but to each their own of course .
