To be honest, that is one of the few things that makes Star Trek so much more enjoyable than Star Wars. And did anybody enjoy the moment when Anakin went berserk on those Tuskens? It was poorly executed and a mixture between preditcable boredom and LoL Moments.
The new Trilogy (for me at least) is **** overall. I only enjoyed the lightsaber Duels (be honest, that is why we're here) and the second half of Ep III.
It is this "make it for the whole family by throwing a lot of childish **** in it" that prevents Star Wars from being Top Notch SciFi.

I'm not going to rehash the sci-fi vs. fantasy argument, but Star Wars is definitely fantasy with sci-fi elements.
The kids stuff has always been there and frankly, I'd rather have a few juvenile bildungsroman morality lessons than horribly stereotypical racist accents and whole scenes built around fart jokes.

Super unpopular opinion: Rebels is actually better (or will become better) than The Clone Wars simply because the source material is better. Rebels doesn't have to try as hard to be good, because it is based on the rebellion era. Same goes for Rogue One. The Clone Wars had to make the prequels look not even good, not even interesting, but acceptable. That's a huge load to carry. So it struggled with that, and we ended up with some good episodes once it gained traction. Rebels doesn't have that struggle. It can build on the best aspects of Clone Wars while still being rooted in the time of the Galactic Civil War.

The old EU was an attempt to bring different genres and themes to Star Wars; some of it worked, a lot of it didn't, I still ate it up. The new canon seems to have a bit more respect for the source material and it is going in some interesting directions. It's an exciting time to be a Star Wars fan.
