Probably unpopular opinion: I hate the Star Wars franchise and consider it propaganda designed to downplay logical thinking in favor of emotions.

Trust your feelings? Fuck you, Kenobi. I trust facts.

Ever since the sale to Disney ruined the storylines.

If Dave Filoni is writing or directing it could be good because he truly loves the Star Wars Universe (George Lucas even once called Filoni "my Padawan") and wants to tell good stories set in it. Filoni did a good job with Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and the Mandalorian.

The sequel trilogy, on the other hand, was made by J.J. Abrams (who knows how to evoke nostalgia but sucks when it comes to original ideas) and Rian Johnson (a hipster douchebag who wanted to "subvert expectations").

filoni confirmed they retconned the sequels out of existence... another timeline.

basically in mando, they brought in some lore from one of the video games or cartoons or whatever that allows them to do this. when luke responds to baby yoda's temple beam call thing, it has something to do with the force existing in a plane independent of time and space. ahsoka died in the original timeline that the sequels were in. one of the jedi reached through the force plane and grabbed her out of harms way, changing the timeline, and erasing the sequels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPR9mMgaFvk

people were cheering because the sequels are fucking garbage, but kennedy's team was fucking pissed because it poo-poo'd on a lot of their bullshit. they were planning to go even more femtarded to destroy the franchise, and no one told them about what favreau/filoni were doing with the season finale of mando.
