TRoS was infinitely worse than TLJ. Just like unbelievably worse.

I was about to say this, and i saw you wrote it. TRoS is a 2.5 hour shitstorm of nonsense. It makes no sense in its own canon, the canon of star wars, or even from a "thats fun" perspective. It is agressively, loudly dumb for the sake of spectacle.

I agree, but TLJ was still absolutely awful. That trilogy was fucking terrible

I think it's kinda silly to put the blame on Rian Johnson's shoulders when it's infinitely more likely that the movie was terrible because of the Disney executive committee responsible for crafting that trilogy.
Let's not forget that Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker were also terrible for their own reasons.

They fly now!?

It's no use, you've summoned the stans now, logic and reality will not stop them.

I enjoyed The Last Jedi (I preferred the other two though). The fact that its critical rating was so high is equally as important as to why the audience reaction was so mixed/negative. So just because you think it damaged the brand does not make it objectively so. TLJ was a divisive film, but so was the next one (people tend to either like one or the other), and so was Solo. And guess what? So was Return of the Jedi. A lot of people hated the Ewoks. Did Return of the Jedi damage Star Wars? Of course not. Also, Solo had behind the scenes baggage leading into its release, which surely had a big role in its underwhelming box-office.
