Unpopular opinion: I think people are tired of disjointed big stories.

I mean, I know I am. Give me a story about a couple of people doing something that's a good story, not a giant montage of short scenes about the fate of the galaxy.

I don't CARE about the galaxy, I want a good personal story that has stakes that make sense on a personal level, and isn't just some weird superhero story but happens to be wearing a Star Wars skin suit.

Also maybe don't make a trilogy that's the same damn story beats as the previous trilogy, but worse in every way you care to mention.

And, maybe, that's not just me: Rogue One is such a movie and it's been well received. Andor is a show at the same kind of scale, and hey, it's also been accepted as good.
