The latest Star Wars productions sometimes seemed like more ideas of things they knew we might like, brought into their universe, like Star Wars Goonies in Skeleton Crew.
Being simplistic, this Rogue One series could have been the spy movie of a saga, but it has managed to take its time and, in the end, managed to entangle us with a story and characters I cared about. Even the villain arcs look great to me, as they show the full rawness of the Empire.
In short, for me the success has been that they have managed to keep the story and create something that, without effects, spectacular choreography and lightsabers, knows how to connect and feels more Star Wars than ever.
