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

It was straight up nostalgia porn. Nothing but call backs and a cloned bland story line. Absolutely forgettable. Rogue One and Andor are the only good things Disney did with Star Wars (live action wise).
Very strange to criticise the sequel trilogy for being "nostalgia porn", whilst simultaneously praising Rogue One. Not only was that film completely pointless but it was also filled with deepfakes of dead actors and endless fan service.
Because rogue one tied into the original movies directly and coherently. The new trilogy felt really forced. Andor was born of Rogue One as well so it definitely felt like a better overall storyline.
