Issue with the sequel trilogy is that it relies heavily on the original trilogy.TFA was all about nostalgia and TLJ was largely setting up similar situations to the OT to deliver a twist.
The only way the original trilogy will ever be topped is by doing something totally unique (ex. ROTS).
That's not to say I'm not enjoying the sequel trilogy, though, which I definitely am.

The problem is that we're two movies in, and no has any ****ing idea what's going on, and we've gone nowhere from where we began. They literally blew up the biggest space station of all time, and somehow they're as weak as they've ever been. It didn't take three movies for us to know what was going on in the PT or the OT. A trilogy should be three movies that tell three self-contained stories that build on each other.
Spoiler:It’s a complete cluster****.
the three main protagonists didn’t even meet each other until the end of TLJ.
You can't really compare the two, ares. It's still one author telling the same story, more or less. JJ wrote TFA, and likely had an idea of where he wanted the series to go. RJ had complete freedom and throws a monkey wrench into the middle, opening several new plotlines and closing none of the old ones. Lucas obviously knew where his story was going, especially when dealing with the PT. How we get to Point B really isn't important, just that we get to Point B, and eventually Point C. I feel like now, we're at Point R, and Point C is several miles that way.
