SW ST aren't just bad movies, it also created a very dull era

[Slowpokeking]

No interesting characters.
First Order-Awful copy of the Empire.
New Republic-simply gone.
The resistance is extremely bland as well

It made the entire era awful and nearly impossible to extend.

PT might have problems with the movies, but its era was great and there are so much to develop/explore.

THIS is why most of the series were based upon dark time or close to OT era, but still you can't change the big picture, maybe that's why they moved to High Republic era.

Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett are in the NR era. Although the "Rangers" series might be dead, it seems Disney still has some plans for that period. Not quite the old EU ones, but maybe some conflicts parrarell to that that don't have a big impact on what happens later on. The Ashoka/Thrawn/Ezra thread for instance. Plus some hints in Bad Batch/Mandalorian as well.

ST are in the post-NR era actually. Mandalorian is set in 5 years after RotJ, much closer to the OT era.

The ST era was already a bit shakey after TFA, though it *could* have been carefully finessed into a different and fun era. After TLJ made sure to bury the new heroes, deny and advertise an even-more rigid copy-paste of the OT complete with inept idiots for the villains such that hadn’t appeared in the Kasdan-written Star Wars films (ESB, ROTJ, and TFA, actually), and make it so Luke really was just sitting around with his thumb up his ass while Ben Solo was still a loathsome prick, but now a boring one we were supposed to be fascinated with… yeah, it kind of had its neutered nature confirmed.

Nowadays, there *are* elements or retcons that can change things: actually exploiting Finn instead of trying to bury him, giving Luke successful and surviving students, etc.

But yeah, it had what already few interesting elements it could have stripped away.

I think it's a matter of time for the ST to be removed from canon if they want to make more movies after OT era.

If people can pretend the prequels were good and revive that era, then they can do the same for the sequels. I wouldn't even say the sequels are as bad as the prequels
