I love the originals. I liked the prequels (even of the dialogue is a bit clunky and some of the acting a little wooden). I also enjoyed Rogue One. Mando Seasons 1 & 2 were alright but they ruined it with season 3. Everything else is just dross. I will discount the animated series from that assessment, I have never watched them. But apart from the list above, and with the caveat regarding the animations, literally everything Disney has done has been below average at best and absolute garbage at worst. And I don’t usually use say this about entertainment products, but the Star Wars shows and films produced by and under Disney aren’t just subjectively bad as in “not really my thing”, they are objectively bad. You can talk about them and tear them to pieces by simply talking about their storytelling techniques and dialogue quality – they’re so easy to critique without bringing in any subjective opinions. I would even go so far as to many of the people that like the Disney do so in spite of the flaws – they accept that they exist but just say “but I liked it anyway”. That’s a pretty bad place to be for someone with a license as expensive as Star Wars
