Here's hoping it does not, too.  IMHO, with Star Wars, Disney pretty much
shot their wad with Rogue One, which was better than chapters I-III.  After
that, they started down Retcon Road and screwed everything up.

I lost interest with chapter 7 (basically a retool of the original movie
with new characters).  I did "accidentally" see one of the spin-off
character movies when it was on cable.  It was not bad but I also cannot
tell you for certain which movie it was so it didn't leave an everlasting
impression.  ;)

I don't have Disney+ so I have never seen it, but apparently their TV
offerings have been hit and miss.  The Mandalorian was apparently good, but
the other offerings haven't lived up to its promise.
