Star Wars: The case for and against the sequel trilogy

The Star Wars Sequels have all been theatrically released and are now available digitally or on Blu Ray. After digesting them all more than once, the question lingers, should they have been made?

The Star Wars sequel trilogy has wrapped up and been watched numerous times in its entirety by many fans. These films seem to be getting a very similar reaction to the prequels where a large group loves them, while an opposing but similarly large group, loathes them.

Many fans waited all of their lives to find out what happened to Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, and Lando after Return of the Jedi and their questions were finally answered.
