Seeing Obi Wan and Yoda in the original trilogy treat Darth Vader as if heβs some rando to deal with saddens me. Forgetting he has a name, glossing over his legacy, asserting his lack of humanity, constantly telling Luke he must kill him, etc. when he was thrust into the mold by them and wasnβt without reasoning makes the jedi in the original trilogy seem shittier to me than the other movies. My gal Ahsoka wouldnβt do that.

Trick question. It's all of them.
The last film of the new trilogy as a whole. I've watched it three times now and I can not for the life of me remember the plot. There was a dagger thing and then Palpatine is in the end on a spooky crane and then they kiss and it's weird. That's seriously everything I can remember off the top of my head.
All of Star Wars?
Well.. Lumpy, Chewie's son, watching some kind of erotic show in the Holiday Special.

Most of them are from sequels
Yes.
There are some.
The Death Planet ih the new trilogy destroyed the exact same way as Luke destroyed the Death Star.
The fact that they realized that "parsec" is a length unit, and they came up with a total bullshit explanation for "doing the Kessel run in 12 parsec".
Nearly every maintenance infrastructure built like a giant death trap. The reactor room where Maul killed Qui-Gon, the scene where Luke realizes that Vader is his father, and so on.
The Kessel run thing was done in the EU books ages ago, but honestly I still liked the idea that Han was just talking out his ass (and obi wan's expression actually works for this idea).
Each trilogy is pretty much a rerun of the last, blow up something big first movie - but oh no it was only the start. Finish with blowing up something bigger
Kessel run is really just a personal preference then, cause like it entirely fits the lore just you don't like it so we shouldn't?
A massive part of star wars is the aesthetic, and sure its not always gonna be 100% reasonable bit like those scenes probably wouldn't be as interesting in a 4' x 4' storage closet in an office space
(also fits the empires idea of things need to look pretty on top, but beneath they couldn't care less about health and safety, as long as they remain I power)
Vader flirting with Padme. It was horrible to watch and requires parents to correct the lessons immediately. A generation of men learned to flirt with women that way.
BOOO
Uhh wait, but Vader is younger than Padme!
By a significant amount. She was an adult queen when he was 7.
