And one of the problems with that is the sacrifice of the story-telling.

We just watched a bunch of dudes slowly meandering through a Desert. We dont all need a million shiny explosions and lens-flares happening all at once to keep our attention.
Tell us something worth hearing.

I don't want to start an argument on this again but The Last Jedi at least tried to do some of that with a slower pace and being more story centric (it had some flaws in the execution of it for sure, and the production/directing of the Mandalorian puts it to shame IMO) and the fan base #### all over it.
So I do think it's a bit of a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" angle for the sequel trilogy.
It's actually where I think Star Wars might be better suited in this new world of high budget TV (Netflix, HBO, Disney+ type of stuff), gives it more time and space to breathe and have that story and world building that isn't always provided in a 2 hour movie.
