Yeah, all the actors in the new trilogy did a great job, and I wanted to see them develop onscreen, but they felt super rushed through, or thrown away when the writers didn't know what to do with them
@skettiyeti: Clone Wars starts out mostly as battles and diplomacy, but it's worth watching it all, because you get really attached to the clones, and it gets across the sadness of the whole empire situation and how basically impossible it was for anyone in the galaxy to escape the manipulations of Palpatine, no matter what side they thought they were on. Anakin didn't stand a chance.

Okay, if you love that stuff, you'll love the Mortis arc of Clone Wars, and all the force revelations in Rebels
Oh, also when Yoda starts doing weird shit toward the end of the Clone War, that's more of it, too

Yeah, there's way too much packed into the movies. I agree with you on the lack of character development
The concepts of the new characters are compelling, but they were not treated with love, and the final movie did feel like a giant middle finger to fans, honestly.
I wish they'd let Dave Filoni direct a live action movie. It would probably be all force mythology and mysticism and it would be so great

JJ also messed up a lot of the core ideology of Star Trek when he got those movies as a stepping stone to get Star Wars. I like how he assembles casts, but I don't like the stories he tells.
Some of the old EU of Star Wars is good that it's gone...(I'm thinking of the overly detailed info on Darth Vader's breathing gear)...but a lot of it was just fine, and I always appreciate how Dave Filoni brings back a lot of it, where he can, to make it canon again

I'm pretty disappointed by the new trilogy, especially given all the work that went into Clone Wars and Rebels, just for the movies to ignore a ton of that and make up new stuff....that replicates what already exists, and to not let any of the original trilogy triad to live past 60 or so. :(
There's lots of stuff in the new movies I liked, like new characters, but overall, I was sad they weren't given more time to really let the audience get to know them without having plot device after plot device thrown at them.
Clone Wars starts out rough, but it's really good. You can go either in broadcast order, or chronological. If you google it, there should be an episode list. It really redeemed the prequel characters and premise for me.

....anyway, I see you have an adorable child in your signature.
I need to watch The Mandalorian, but at least I finally finished my rewatch of Rebels and cried through season four, which I hadn't wanted to finish because I didn't want it to be over

@skettiyeti: they probably became more valuable as pack animals, and in europe they were really useful for wars, so we probably got out of the habit of seeing them as food animals first, and into the habit of seeing them as valuable companions instead.
idk, that's just my guess

The ironic thing about horses is we domesticated them because they're delicious, apparently

Durian candy tastes like pungent carmelized onions....which is not a candy flavor I enjoy, even if I like carmelized onions normally
