The holiday special was tv only. The empire strikes back is objectively better than a new hope too.
The prequels started rough but episode 3 was very good.
The real downfall started right after the last medium. I didn’t hate it, but they had no ideas what to do with 9 and it really shows. Then Lucasfilm salted the earth by firing Gina carano and letting the shows become 100 percent girl power fever dreams. They also destroyed Indiana Jones so my hatred for Kennedy and Disney is boundless now
No it isn't. While admittedly Empire is better than anything produced after it, it was a pale shadow of the masterpiece that was Star Wars.
