Sure, the First Order if it hadn't been emasculated in the second movie, was actually a good concept. The question of what would happen if the most dedicated hardcore nazi's fled to Brazil after WW2 and hid out of sight. Its an interesting concept.

But the rest of the Lore was non existent and to me, the new characters, the ones that they tried to hand the candle too, though they put in decent acting performances were just not that interesting.

The other problem is trying to follow up villains like Vader and Palpatine is just a daunting task, and Snoke while he was interesting in the first movie was a red shirt in the second, and they didn't make Kylo all that interesting.

As maligned as the prequels are, and they should be maligned, I thought had some really interesting world building.

While the Clone Wars and Rebels were terrific shows in terms of fixing a lot of things in the prequels. The attempt by Disney to do the Sequels with for example Resistance kind of failed. Mando is attempting some salvage of the sequels, but they're not pushing it.

I think Disney's best strategy, would be to ignore the sequels and build around them. That's why I'm skeptical of a Rey movie.

Its a big galaxy to play in with a massive time line, I wish they'd jump a few hundred years ahead or a few thousand years behind.
Well, we are supposed to be getting a movie regarding the origins of the Jedi... or was it the discovery of the Force? Eitherway, it is movie thousands of years into the past.
