And arguably, with the character assasination of Luke Skywalker and Ren's amazing ability to learn Jedi skills that are supposed to take years to even begin to master, without effort.
Jar Jar Binks is a welcome diversion.

At least Bruce Willis has stopped doing the crappy Die Hard sequels, I think.
If they're so 'invested in the character' maybe they should have done the movies when they had the bodies to pull it off. May as well use that fancy de-aging (e.g. Fury in Captain America) for something more plausible than a 70 odd year old (in appearance if not age) going toe-to-toe with yoofs.
Maybe the younger generation actors are just too bland and one dimensional, so they prefer to wheel out the old fogies. At least they have screen presence aka charisma.

As cringey as Crystal Skull was, it wasn't as bad as Star Wars: The Force Awakens and subsequent films with far too many flaws. At least Crystal Skull was an enjoyable popcorn muncher, standing alone but with some nice throwback moments and connections to the earlier trilogy.

I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.
