Will there ever be a new generation franchise in the future that will dethrone Star Wars in popularity?.

Has the sequel trilogy ever made new characters that were hated worse than Jar Jar?.

I liked JarJar, the battle sequence at the end with him fighting the robots was awesome! I was 7!

I'm saying if the current sequel trilogy made brand new characters far worse than Jar Jar Binks.

Star Wars has the most overdone parodies in pop culture that its not funny anymore.

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.

Star Wars was/is famous due to OT and Expanded Universe works now declared Legends. BioWare's KoTOR was the next big thing after OT and set the stage for numerous works.

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.

A gem from Disney.

It adds to OT only.

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

I wonder how much Disney actually lost with Solo. Not just from poor box office (thanks TLJ), but from the mess that was actually making the damn thing. New directors, reshoots etc. That shit ain't cheap.
