Was my memory wiped or was the Star Wars sequel trilogy just that forgettable? (www.theguardian.com)

The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

Hey thanks for putting thought into the comment. Agree on most of your points. I like Star Wars and will even rewatch these films even though they aren’t the best.

The only scenes I remember from the whole trilogy are from Last Jedi. Hyperspace blasting a starship into a star destroyer was a cool concept. And the whole final with Luke force projecting across galaxies was a good sendoff I thought.

Rey stealing the Falcon in Force Awakens was a direct rip off of the asteroid escape in Empire and it was EPIC. Well, epic for being a re-hash of Empire, but still very well done, and I think the best single scene from the prequels.
