For me, the steady increase in production quality is amazing.
However the actual story is hit or miss from movie to movie.
Say what you want about the prequels but when watching those movies you are getting a sense of that this is one mans vision and there is a clear story arc that he wants to express. The new trilogy basically is Disney sitting down in their expensive conference room around their expensive conference table in their expensive suits asking "How can we make more money?" Now, since money is first and film is second it doesn't matter if they switch directors in the middle of the trilogy and they don't care that most of Abrams material was disregarded by Jonsson. To be fair J.J Abrams tried making something of a cohesive story, does it pay homage to the original trilogy? Yes and no. On the one hand we have Force Awakens which is a copy-paste script of a New Hope. Sand planet with a poor person who's soon gonna fly away from there to discover their powers and use those powers to help some rebels topple an evil force of evilness by destroying their planet-sized super weapon. On the other hand, J.J Abrams sat down and said "I'm gonna give the middle finger to Return of the Jedi by bringing back Sheev Palpatine". All ranting aside, the new trilogy is garbage, Rogue One was okay and paid homage in the right way, Disney should stop making movies all together imo.
