It's just not a very interesting setting. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of interesting things that happen but none of it really matters, planets and star systems blow up and then become forgotten. There's always an evil empire in one form or another and when it's defeated by heros another one replaces it in a few decades. That's 40,000 years of star wars history in a nutshell.

Huh? So what, really? You can't have interesting characters in this setting?
I thought Shadows of the Empire was a good story, as did many non-fans.
Along with the Thrawn trilogy, which fans and non-fans agree really should have been episode 7 8 and 9. Huge missed opportunity to create some classic Star Wars movies in 2016 ala the original trilogy that people would be talking about for the next 30 years. They would have been serious and dark ala The Dark Knight, not the SNL skit with the Eddie Murphy storm trooper. And extremely dramatic. You know, the fucking space opera that Star Wars was meant to be? Yeah pal.
Fans lost out bad on this one to Zion, I mean Disney.
I'll only be watching this for trainwreck factor to see if they can pull all 3 movies off with video-game cutscene pacing and vomit-inducing editing. And for Kylo Ren, the only moderately interesting character Star Wars has ever had since 1980.
