People were just mad because the sequel trilogies were not like the fan fic books they read when they were younger. That Luke was a flawed and interesting character and not Space Jesus.

If anything nostalgia is what killed Disney Star Wars. The Force Awakens was basically a nostalgic rehash of the original movie, Last Jedi purposefully subverted nostalgia with Luke‘s story and then played on it with the Hoth style action scenes. Rise then reacted to Jedi and became a nostalgia overload - bring back Lando and Palapatine, have ewok cameos.
Like them or not the prequels tried to do something different- they managed much better to integrate nostalgia with story and something new. Jango Fett for example is a key part of Attack of the Clones rather than popping up randomly along the journey for the sake of being there

I think story and how nostalgia was implemented was at the root of Disney star wars problems. Nostalgia is great. I'd argue in a franchise like star wars it is absolutely needed. The problem Disney ran into was this. Nostalgia without a compelling thought out story is hollow. Disney was so eager to usher in Rey, Poe and Finn, that they forgot to write a compelling story that honored what came before it.

This is what I was trying to say - you've put it much better
That is the current rumor that has made the rounds through every blogger, YouTube channel, or entertainment news source on the planet.
No idea if it has any legs, but it would not surprise me if it is true as most Disney+ shows seem to only have a 1-2 season life span.
Now the rumor mill has it as a title change after season 3.

The main actor also is staring on the Last of Us is probably putting a strain on his free time/effort. But I hope Pedro can still commit to both.
You summed up exactly how I felt about the trilogy. I was pretty bored during Ep.7 because it was a predictable rehash, sadly even Han's death was so obvious and underwhelming. I actually like TLJ but only because they actually did something different with that movie and they surprised me a bit, despite Luke's story being disappointing. TLJ also feels like a separate movie from the trilogy and overall hurt the other two movies as it almost felt like we didn't need a third movie when it ended. Leading into Episode 9 which was just random nostalgia and a plot that made it clear this trilogy wasn't planned at all. Episodes 1-3 had a clear objective throughout the movies and I feel like that helped people appreciate the movies over time once we saw the whole product.

Yea, that's been the talk. While it's obviously just rumors, it makes a lot of sense. I think the tell was all the spinoffs they announced.

Even as they were coming out one by one, you could appreciate the films despite their flaws. They were creatively dense. I had books that detailed the props, the designs, the costumes, characters and the ships etc for Episode 1. That I would flick through them, studying the images and it would trigger my imagination. I severely doubt any of that kind of stuff went on for the sequels. They were creatively devoid.
We've all seen the comparisons of the sequel aliens versus the prequels. The prequels had beautiful worlds, which were unique and new. The sequels just went, "desert planet" and used rejected concept art from the originals for the look.
