the premise was shit: don't explore your intimidating awesome villain when he was a baby and whiny angsty teen

the plots and writing were shit

however in spite of all this the worldbuilding was great and really led to expanded possibilities for other storytelling in that universe

there was no prior understanding of what the galaxy used to look like in peace and prosperity, with jedi intact

it laid the groundwork for things like kotor

I’m sure some nerd can come in with some examples. But there anything new in the new Star Wars? Some 30 years later it’s x wings vs tie fighters. They’re flying the millennium falcon. They’re fighting stormtroopers. Same aesthetic and everything.

Think I’m thinking of Battlefront 2 where you could choose different eras to play. The prequel or original trilogy were distinct from one another. Try that with the new movies, it’s the same everything.

I mean, you had a fun racing game based on pod racing. There’s nothing to build on in the new stuff.
