7-TFA was too afraid to establish a new status quo in the Star Wars universe. It was just the Empire up against the rebels again. It didn't feel like any of the struggle and victories from the previous movies mattered. The New Republic technically existed but we never really saw it enough to get invested. We just saw the confusing Resistance. Han Solo was still a smuggling bum wearing a vest. It was vapid nostalgia bait.
8-TLJ was made by someone who seemed to actively hate Star Wars. Somehow a Star Wars movie starting with a Yo Mama joke managed to just get worse and worse.
9-TROS isn't even worth discussing. I don't think anyone wanted to make or see it, but it had to be pushed out by obligation.
At least The Matrix Resurrections successfully lampshaded the concept of its characters being stuck in a forced cycle.
