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

They got butchered because the directors Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams between the two remaining movie were playing musical fucking chairs and countering major plot points that the other set up (Rey's lineage not being important and linked to any lore so "anyone can be a hero" to....being important and linked with star wars lore again by being... Palpatine's granddaughter

Also the final movie going through writer's hell, with being "duel of Fates" first. I would have preferred if we would have seen Rey use a dual light saber...would have made the whole stick combat make more sense.

Plus we wouldn't have had that ....awful....just awful scene with Kylo and Rey. Fuck what a stupid ending.
