Star Wars is very new to me and I’m sure I’ll take shots for this but I started watching from Rogue One as I didn’t really fancy the older ones. And obviously didn’t bother watching attack of the clones or phantom menace. But I have to say I really really enjoyed them. We’re currently working through Mandalorian and will start Andor soon.

Rey wasn’t awful she just was boring. No charisma or anything interesting about her. Finn should have been a Jedi. A stormtrooper switching sides would be a good story. The Rey trilogy had too many trivial characters and subplots that could have been interesting but never developed into something.
Shocking they are trying to flog the last trilogy dead horse.Ahsoka looks very promising, the trailer was great. Zeb was already in the Mandalorian. Ahsoka, Bo Katan and Sabine Wren are all powerful females, Rey is nothing compared to them.

Her whole concept was kinda crap tbh.
The first scene with Finn going rogue was amazing and held so much promise. Ultimately they just discarded him as an interesting character, and with it the chance to make take an amazing new approach to that universe. Like that annoying scene where he has to tell Rey something important, and then it’s just never discussed again? Terrible writing. I won’t even get started on their brutalising of old icons to make room for new IP.
Ultimately mouse corp just want to sell as many plushies and action toys and Legos as they can, so they’ve made Star Wars more attractive to kids and less interesting to adults (because it’s easier to amuse kids than adults, also times are tough and it seems most parents prefer to spend discretionary funds on their kids rather than on themselves). It’s partly why there’s loads of visually interesting new characters that have next to zero impact on the story (hello, Knights of Ren).
It’s shit but it’s working- kids love it.

it resolves lots of loose strings from the original trilogy.
Closing the huge plot WTF of "A New Hope" was resolving a loose transatlantic cable. It's funny, because if @Light_EDDed ever decides to watch it, there's a string of moments where they'll be just "Oh, yes, that's because of X" where several generations of Star War fans have been saying "Um, OK, forget that plot hole, we all know, it's still a great film".

Loved solo

The Ahsoka trailer looks fantastic.
Yes, so much this. Chopper, Hera, Sabine it'll be great to see them all again.
Just finished S.2 Bad Batch...
Spoiler
Tech's death nearly as upsetting as Kanan Jarrus in rebels.
Overall, enjoyed, guessing / hoping there'll be a S.3.
Anyone know where I can get a Crosshair Plushie from?

The mouse has doubled down on their Jedi princess, against whom I have no animosity, I just thought the latest storylines sucked and the character treatment was ridiculous.
Might be interesting to see the story of the first force user, but could also be a disappointment. I hope it doesn’t quash the ethereal, omnipresent aspect of the force mythos. Not surprised to see that they’ll churn out yet another ‘new’ Imperial faction (Imperial Remnants) for the somehow still fledgling New Republic to overcome.
