Really, the problem the sequel trilogy had is that they didn't know what to do with it. The Force Awakens ended up as a soft reboot of A New Hope, which is why we got a third Deathstar. But then they blow it up at the end of the first movie, which puts them in a bind as now they really don't know what to do with the next two movies. What now, a fourth Deathstar? At least this would give some sort of overarching story for the trilogy, rather than the making-it-up-as-we-go mess that we ended up with.

Yeah, it's quite clear no one planned out a story arc for the trilogy and it suffered greatly because of it. I really like The Force Awakens and I bought The Last Jedi for £1 to almost complete the set. I'm waiting to find Rise of Skywalker in a charity shop for 50p to compete the set, don't know if I'll watch it again though. 😄
