I think that's the biggest problem right now is that these movies feel like they're trying to do a reboot of the originals while extending the stories of the original.'
They are basically too familiar and they are using the frame work too closely
TFA - Death Star with a vulnerability, except this vulnerability is about a km wide, its also bigger and badder. There were some nice original story elements in it but the underlying threat was too close.
TLJ - Hopelessness of the resistance/rebellion, that get basically pounded by the Empire/First Order. There is a massive land battle in both movies using walkers and its salt versus snow. There is also a massive fleet chasing the good guys who can't go to light speed in this case not because of mechanical failures but because of a sensor. They just reversed the order of events
ESB - Vader chokes underling to death remotely, massive battle, hopeless chase, fortunate escape, hero's gather in the end and to reflect on friends lost in Han Solo and to rebuild the resistance.
TLJ - Battle , Snoke beats up underling remotely, hopeless chase, massive battle, fortunate escape, hero's gather in the end to reflect on friends lost and to rebuild the resistance.
Again I believe we are doomed no matter which way we go now.
ROTJ - Super weapon exposed, hero's rescue, rebellion gathers together, desperate battle, hero goes off on lone quest, redeems villain, kills other villain. Super weapon destroyed, hero's gather to celebrate while hero mouns loss of redeemed villain, native species of planet eats stormtroopers.
Star Wars - the next movie - Another super weapon, hero's rescue (Finn or Poe gets caught and gets rescued. Desperate battle. Rey goes off to face Ren alone, Redeems/kills Ren, super weapon destroyed, hero's gather to celebrate while hero mourns the loss of redeemed or un redeemed villain, Porgues eat Stormtroopers.
