Was my memory wiped or was the Star Wars sequel trilogy just that forgettable?

I legitimately forgot all of those plot points. I saw it in the theatre right after it opened and mostly remember it being really bad and aimless with Palpatine having been resurrected off-screen with no explanation, and the movie working hard to act like 8 didn't happen.
I walked away thoroughly unimpressed and don't even remember much of what happened.
Like - after your recap there, I still don't remember anything about Chewie dying OR not dying, and I still don't know if he made it to the end. I was (and still am) a die-hard Star Wars fan, and I can't believe that not only do I remember the last film so poorly that not know if one of the OG heroes survived the last film, but I don't really even care.
Honestly, that would have been better, and even as a TLJ-stan I would have understood. Instead, it went out of its way to fuck up its own pacing and damn near break the fourth wall to call out how much it didn't like TLJ.
