Was my memory wiped or was the Star Wars sequel trilogy just that forgettable?

No you're thinking of capitalism.
Hey I can hate the players and the game! ;-)

Disney is an instance of applied capitalism.

I'm not one to overthink movies, I really enjoy just watching them do their thing without thinking about it, But there were no twists everything felt so linear and so repeated.
I even liked solo because it was at least different.
I thought Solo was a lot of fun. It was great to watch a Star Wars film that didn't have galactic stakes. It felt more focused.
I personally liked Solo more than Rogue One
I remember enough that I know they do in fact exist. But I couldn't place anything in order, let alone mentally reconstruct them in my mind from start to finish like the other 6.
Same. But I think a big part of that is I only watched each of them one time. Where as the first 6 I've seen more times than I could count.
Nope. Your memory is fine. There were only two and a half good Star Wars movies of the original nine; A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi right up until the Ewoks arrive.
Beyond that there was some good stuff, like Andor and Rogue one.
The ewoks weren't bad especially given the time period.
Kids loved the ewoks ... I will admit I liked them when I was young. However, they were kind of stupid and pointless. He should have just make them cookies like he planned.

I liked Solo.
Fight me.
It was ok. Certainly better than A Phantom Menace. But I think, aside from a cool sword fight scene and a giant fish The Phantom Menace was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Ahsoka is decent, but it is really just the Star Wars Rebels cartoon live-action version.
One day I sat down to watch the movie after force awakens (can't even remember the name). About 30 minutes in I had an extreme sense of deja vu. Come to find out I watched that movie in theaters and had completely forgot it. After that I watch ed rise of the Skywalker and definitely will remember that as being the worst stars wars anything I have ever seen... christmas special and babu frik excluded!. I felt bad for the actors on that one.
I think I actually disliked the 2nd one more I think.
Yes, they copied the original Star Wars trilogy but done bad. RIP Star Wars.
I remember enjoying The Force Awakens in the cinema, but I probably enjoyed it about as much as I would have enjoyed rewatching A New Hope, because frankly they're the same movie.
I started watching the 2nd one in the new trilogy (don't even remember the name) and got bored. Never watched the 3rd one.
And then there was Rogue One, which I also watched in cinema. I did enjoy it, but it was also an absolute nothing burger of a movie with 0 lasting impact or characters worth remembering.
I found Rogue One a satisfying conclusion to the independent Andor story.
