Never liked Star Wars. The original trilogy. I watched it and nothing no sense of adventure no tension just blah. The new ones are worse, watched all of those too but they fail even harder for what feels like the same reasons. To be clear I fucking love Sci-Fi books/movies/tv shows doesn’t matter. Some of the starwars books are ok like anything with Kerra Holt in it
First off, Star Wars isn’t scifi. It’s a space western/opera. Its the same story told a thousand times before but in a different setting. It doesnt offer any philosophical quanderies or insights that actual sci fi does .
It has always been about being a great cinematic achievement for it’s time. Theaters have great sound systems because of Star Wars. If you werent of the age to experience it at a time when the biggest movies were ‘Kramer vs Kramer’ and ‘Harry And Tonto’, it really isnt very good.
It’s totally okay to not like it. I was a HUGE fan when it came out but I understand that it doesnt keep up with the cinema tech that it inspired.
My wife and friends think I’m a Star Wars nerd and keep giving me gifts and swag. I have never liked any of it past the original trilogy and I outgrew that a long, long time ago. In fact, all the other trilogies just downright pissed me off for how awful they were…just horrible dialogue, acting and storytelling.
Personally i find star wars to be fine but not great. It has interesting lore and whatnot but on the whole it mostly just feels ok. The exception (to me) is the mandalorian. Where the main star wars films are (sort of) a soap opera in space (space opera), the mandalorian is a space western, and a pretty well done one. It takes 2 episodes or so to pick up the pace, but i found it to be really enjoyable.

Andor/Rogue One are very, very good. All else is cold day old dogshit unless you grew up with it and have nostalgia.
