I'd look at the animated series based on your recommendation, except that I'd have to admit that I haven't watched anything like that in...longer than I'd care to admit. Too much to do, too little time.

It's a really damn good series but I think only Star Wars fans can truly appreciate it. It focuses very heavily on building on the Star Wars lore and it did it quite well.

My understanding for the final trilogy was that there WAS a good story arc that had been developed.

George Lucas's original plans certainly would have been good but as soon as Kathleen Kennedy got control, Star Wars was finished. She completely abandoned Lucas's ideas in order to use Star Wars as a platform to pitch her brand of feminism. Kathleen Kennedy and her cronies were more activists than showrunners and it shows. I really really liked the Star Wars brand and I gave her movies a genuine try. I have been looking forward to seeing them since they first announced it. We didn't have a Star Wars movie in so long. When it finally came, I was extremely disappointed. It was one of the most awful pieces of entertainment I had ever seen in my life. I still went ahead and gave the second movie a shot, hoping they fixed the problems with the first one but it turned out to be even worse. I just gave up after that. I didn't bother to watch the 3rd one or the Solo movie. These people have no idea how to write a compelling and entertaining story.

The only Star Wars movie under the Disney brand that wasn't complete trash was Rogue One. I don't really like it that much but it was certainly not a bad film. I just found it a bit boring and derivative. I felt that Rogue One underutilized the rich lore of Star Wars. It could have been so much better.
