Rogue One was outstanding. But yea, other than that the movies have mostly been s*** since the OG trilogy.

Episode VIII purposely tries to subvert everything that was done in Episode VII, become Rian Jonson needs to show everyone how clever he is. Episode IX then tries to clumsily undo episode VIII. Episode IX is already an attempt to retcon much of episode VIII. Episode VIII wrote the sequel trilogy into a corner, and they just said F it, everything we set up in Episode VII has been destroyed, let's just bring back Palpatine.
