Re-Rogue One

Re-watched Rogue One last night, was toying with the idea of doing so for quite some time, as I simply love it.
Never understood why Disney was able to green light such a good movie, and then simply destroy the franchise with the other Star Wars movies that followed it... For a while I was under the impression that they were going in two directions, the one that pushed the franchise forward (with bad movies) and then the one that expanded the franchise Universe (with somehow better movies)...
But, then they released Solo: A Star Wars Story, and my theory went to hell.
