Problem is, though, that some of the hate fans have some valid points for the wrong reasons.

For example, it does feel a lot like the writers are ticking boxes. They have the usual Star Wars tropes, but also the "diversity" check boxes. It feels very obvious that there's the orphan, here's the misunderstood genius, here's the queer character, here's the obvious callback to casual fans, etc. etc.

You'll have your haters for everything deemed woke, those are idiots, but having formulaic, not very organic stories isn't exactly great.

That's totally my point. The people who hate everything aren't wrong about some of the things, but you can't just listen to reviews and get a clear picture. Some of the stuff they complain about is valid and some isn't. So the shows are usually way better than they insist, but that's not to say they are great. I have yet to see anything in Star Wars that didn't deserve some criticism but is still mostly worth watching. TRoS and the holiday special are the only real exceptions but BoBF was also pretty bad.
