I'd say the latest trilogy was complete garbage, and I would put that just as much on JJ Abrams, who produced it while also completely f'ing up the Star Trek movies he did, so honestly the problem was probably him he has a reputation for this things.

Rian Johnson was the director, but he also directed what's considered the best star wars movie to come out, Rogue One, which also spawned one of the best Star Wars series, Andor, so it probably wasn't his fault, plus he's the Guy that created the Knives Out series which was also fantastic.

Best to come out under Disney. These (R1 and Andor) do borrow in atmosphere from the parts of the EU I like ("Dark Times" comic books etc).
