These movies show how to not tell a decent story.
The older movies were based off ancient mythology(myth of Osiris and the djed in ancient Egypt) and have a really strong foundation there. These last 3 just seem like a collection of random mumbo jumbo. Put a bunch of 2019 social themes and surround them with lightsabers and Wookiee instead of constructing it story wise and thematically first. They definitely made this story up as they went along.
These movies make the prequels look well put together imo.
