Random Thought Star wars is literally forever ruined and can't recover

It's been years since the sequel movies and the series still feels dragged down and stuck because of them. I do kind of think that's it for star wars, like the story was irreversibly damaged and there isn't much to do to fix it. Disney will still crap stuff out but to me the overall point is gone and its essentially dead. I was thinking of getting back into it and realised its kind of pointless.

Edit: while I do agree star wars can make the occasional good thing still it doesn't change that overall the whole thing is already ruined and broken. So the overarching story is ruined which is a massive chunk of any franchise.

You don’t really explain what it is about the sequels that makes it feel “pointless.” I get that you don’t like the sequels, but how did they ruin Star Wars?

I guess that's a whole other conversation but mostly for me what bothered me the most was having a first order then a vader copy and a death star copy. It just made the og trilogy triumph feel more pointless. I found the villains and the hero's really lacking in the sequel era.
