We can play along and give it credit as watchable entertainment (which it for the most part is). But does any one really feel like this is still the star wars we grew up with?
I think that ship sailed a decade ago.

For as much as people complained about George, and things like dialogue are not his thing. but he builds worlds, he has an amazing eye for detail, and he's always trying to stretch things.
You can go back to Star Wars and you see stuff happening in the background. or you look at the details in the modelling and sets, and wardrobe, and he's amazing. He also does have the ability to put together a comprehensive story.
But the new Star Wars really does miss a lot of those key elements, and they don't stretch things, they rely on what George has built before. So we get things like alternative desert planets like Jakku, or we get Star Destroyers like the ones in the Rise of Skywalker that were the same damn Star Destroyers but stretched out to be bigger.
I mean you look at the details of where George goes, the creation of the rule of two and a minor mention of Darth Bane in a novelization, and suddenly Darth Bane becomes his own lore and fascination.
