Sure, I'd agree with that. Like I said, Rogue One is probably one of my favorite SW movies. It's entirely possible to tell a REALLY good story in the SW universe. I think that the main problem with the Prequels is that they suffered from the unbelievable mountain of lore that had grown up around SW and kept trying to cram all that into a 2 hour movie. Disney ejecting the Extended Universe is probably the best solution that SW has had.
Again, it so depends on the story that they are trying to tell. The original Trilogy works so well because it's such a tight story. You've really only got three characters that have most of the lines in the movie. Sure, there's some others, but, by and large, it's Han, Luke and/or Leia in every scene other than a couple with Vader.
The Prequels just had too many characters. Jedi Council, Obi-wan and Anakin and Padme (what does it say about my computer that it keeps autocorrecting that to paddle
), the endless string of bad guys, it just never ends. And, the less said of the whole romance plot line, probably the better.
I mean, the death of Kanan Jarrus in Rebels is far more impactful that the death of Padme.
