Jar Jar was a very controversial character from the time when Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace came out back in 1999.Has the sequel trilogy ever made new characters that were hated worse than Jar Jar?.

you can always stop watching so you do not have cry about it
It's just coasting off of OT still. Though honestly as a very casual Star Wars fan I love Last Jedi and think it's a great film. Made Luke the most interesting he's every been. Rise of Skywalker was comically bad. And the prequel trilogy was shit except for Revenge of the Sith, which was a decent enough payoff, and really a masterpiece compared to the prior two piles of crap. Phantom Menance had promise but they flubbed it bad.

I disagree with everything you said except this:

You're largely right there. Vader, Luke, Han, Leia still shift more merch than almost anything else. The only thing that competes at all is the Clone Wars and the Mandalorian, and even they are spun off of the OT in their own way anyway.

I think Mark Hamills acting was great. He made the most out of the crap he was given. But man Lukes character arc was bad. I would honestly think Luke was a total d*** if not for Hamill sort of convincing me otherwise.
Interesting though the part that made most hate the film is the part that worked for you. Shows all film really is subjective.

Disney had much lore to work with but rebooted the franchise and turned it into glorified mediocrity. Disney alienated a chunk of the fanbase by extension.
Taking your view at face value, it is overrated in its current form.

Rogue one is the best Star Wars film.
It adds to OT only.

A gem from Disney.

I cannot think of any other series that bests Star Wars in dethroning it in popularity.
