I'm on the same train. The original trilogy never did much for me (maybe if I was around in the 70s/80s when it was groundbreaking VFX), the prequels obviously suck, and the sequels are a hot mess too. Now you have Disney milking the hell out of it with all the TV shows and spinoffs. The only Star Wars thing I ever enjoyed was Rogue One.
...then I discovered Dune. And Dune is exactly what I wished Star Wars had always been.
Have you tried Andor yet? It's probably the best series (don't hate me Grogu fans).
I'll second this. I was hesitant to watch it but my boss kept raving about it and I was hooked after the second episode. I really hope the strikes don't turn S2 into a burning pile of garbage.
