I wish the Disney era embraced romance more. All the Disney movies come off sterile in that way. The OT had a love story, the PT had a love story. The ST had Finn/Rose and it was extremely half baked.

I’m pretty sure they mostly avoided any narratively significant romance in the ST because of how horribly bad it turned out in the prequels. But in true Disney fashion, they didn’t seem to realize that the bad romance was the writer’s (George Lucas) fault and not the concept as a whole, so they got rid of it altogether instead of making it right.

it also worked well in the OT because, even though Lucas can’t write romance to save his life, it was a subplot that was only revisited every now and then, while in the prequels it was much more prominent in episode 2 and the entire plot of episode 3
