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

I remember enjoying The Force Awakens in the cinema, but I probably enjoyed it about as much as I would have enjoyed rewatching A New Hope, because frankly they're the same movie.

I started watching the 2nd one in the new trilogy (don't even remember the name) and got bored. Never watched the 3rd one.

And then there was Rogue One, which I also watched in cinema. I did enjoy it, but it was also an absolute nothing burger of a movie with 0 lasting impact or characters worth remembering.

I found Rogue One a satisfying conclusion to the independent Andor story.
