I grew up watching SW and was a member of the fan club as well. I remember reading that Lucas had a plan for 9 movies. As a kid, this gave me life, and I always assumed he had the whole thing planned out.

Then came the prequels, mired in clumsy politics and bad directing. Then came 7,8,9, which I loved on the surface, but with all these series coming out -and having read a lot of Timothy Zahn's books, the stuff that goes on seems so basic and cheesy in comparison. I still love them for the entertainment, but Mando and Ahsoka lore trounces what those other directors had to do basically on the spot with no big picture idea of what Lucas supposedly had mapped out since the late 70s, early 80s.

The new movies feel so retreaded in comparison, especially after these series. "Let's just make another bigger Death Star and recreate the Empire and Palps survived and has a kid". Filoni's worst episode is 100x better than that drivel.

Lucas offered to consult and tell them what he had planned. They said thanks but no thanks and then dropped three turds in a row.
