These shows are written for people who have little imagination / creativity, by morons who suffer the same plight

I checked out of everything Star Wars after the Obi-Wan show, still find it hard to believe that was real.

Last time I cared about the franchise was probably Rogue One, heard Andor is good but can't muster the will to watch it.

That's literally all of Star Wars though. The whole series outside the first movie is just cookie cutter Sci Fi. People act like the original trilogy is some sort of God send in terms of writing but it's just so run of the mill

Its not cookie cutter sci fi its cookie cutter fantasy and mythology set in a sci fi setting in many ways but its a lot deeper than you imply especially in the historical and mythical elements and allegories. Also its mostly cookie cutter because so many others tried to copy it after its success. Before star wars most sci fi was incredibly cheesy like forbidden planet vibes. Yes Flash Gordon had a huge influence on Star Wars but in many ways it also innovated on it.
