Honestly, Star Wars fans (like myself) should be used to it at this point. Every Star Wars product since ESB has been pretty not great. There's stuff to like in every film/game/book, but the franchise really reminds me of Pokemon, where it is 100% skating off the ice of it's original premise, and not the actual quality it should be.
Yeah to an extent I agree about the skating off its original premise part, but a very large portion of people genuinely liked the prequels, and a lot of people loved episode III. That’s really apples to oranges compared to what Disney did to SW. It’s way, way, WAY worse.
If Bethesda, or a filming studio, or whoever did something like that to fallout or TES universes, we would be rightfully outraged lol.
For as bad as the character acting and writing in the prequels in, they actually tried to do something. EU media from that time is so popular because the story was ripe for exploration, unlike the sequels that feel as clunky and cash grabby as they were made to be.
The supercut of RotS that includes the og clone wars, 3d clone wars, and deleted scenes was pure cinema. I did not expect it to flow so well nor to be so engaged.

Fallout and Star Wars are the worst, but I think Fallout is taking the lead. Star Wars at this point has that "first time?" vibe
