For me a big problem is that these main trilogy films don’t really feel like they are part of the other six. This trilogy isn’t really going anywhere, I mean, there’s not really a plot. This contrasts the two spin-offs they made. Those feel much better connected to the main series. Especially Rogue One, easily the best of the new movies, is an essential part of the story. I could’ve been “Episode 3”, if the real Episode 3 was Episode 2 and 1 and 2 combined are 1, if that makes sense.
Anyway I do enjoy Episode 7 and 8 themselves for what they are, they just don’t really feel like they are necessary. I am excited for 9, I want to see it, and I hope it’ll rectify some of the feelings I have about the Sequel Trilogy.
