The franchise was diluted the moment Jar Jar Binks showed up.
Not even Jar Jar is comparable to the Disney trilogy.
Every one of them after the original Star Wars, should have just been called, “Star Wars - The Search For More Money”
Long before that; the Star Wars "Holiday Special" was in 1978.
The movie franchise become a clown show with the Ewoks in the third one as well as the soap opera of Darth Vader being Luke's father and Princess Leia being his sister.
Viewers can't accept that it was one and done.
