Why is it impossible to make something (anything) fun in this game anymore???

I have been playing this game since launch. I am definitely not a new player or just here to complain out of the blue. However, it seems that "fun" is no longer a goal when it comes to the current content that is created. With all of the money that this game has made (billions and billions) the Star Wars fun factor just isn't there anymore. Don't get me wrong, I understand that this game has to be profitable but, can it at least be fun again without overly complicated mechanics and gimmicks? Like, we seriously can't play as Lord Vader in a LORD VADER Jedi temple raid??? Almost every Star Wars fan would love to see this played out in an extended form in any media, but instead we get Tarkin and Pirates?  Please, help me honestly and sincerely understand how the new content being created is check marked, and given the green light. Are statistics run when developing content? Are there limitations set by Disney? Did the player base really ask for a pirate GL and Tarkin? Is there going to be a Death Star raid being made where we will have to use Tuskens? I'm not going to recycle the beta testing discussions that have been going on for years. I'm not even touching that because it's a dead end, but please help me understand how this is considered fun?

    Well since the objective is to save the Jedi, having Lord Vader vs Lord Vader don’t make much sense. Also leading clones vs clones don’t make sense so at this point does lore really matter in a raid now. 
    Hondo as a legend fits the clone was era based off clone wars show. Also adds to variety to have more non force legends.

    Same, been here since start and the game is just no fun, used to be log in a couple of times a day, aim for the characters you want, job done. Now there's so much missions, TB, TW,  arena, GAC, journey guide, conquest..... Blah blah.

    Got to have discord because the in game chat is so crap nobody uses it.

    GC releases an update, 10 mins later has to apologise because it doesn't work (nearly every time).

    Hondo GL??? I would honestly have been more thankful for a JarJar GL.

    Baylan Skoll/JarJar event once every (?) not even a hint of when they are.

    800 different kinds of energy, tokens, different times etc confusing money grab

    The new popup notifications on my Galaxy S20 plus still cover the close button on some things.

    The UI (user interface) is.... dated/ugly/mismatched and the scroll back and forth home screen is a waste of RAM etc.

    GL's were once "end game content" (direct quote) now in GAC, conquest etc you see them getting pumped by teams of Ewoks etc

    Like you say with the new raid, teams that are nothing to do with it being key.

    I could go on all day but I'm boring myself now. Whoever designed the UI is hopefully working at a Maccy D's now. All the fun has been sucked right out of Star Wars for me. I don't even watch the 2 hundred shows they have now because this game killed it for me. Thank god they didn't do a Stargate game. I've still got something.

    The game has definitely fallen on hard times.   Not sure why CG can't motivate themselves fix the thing up.

    100% agreed, started playing this game because i'm a massive fan of Star Wars.
    Remembered when i first 7* my Darth Vader, or got yoda. I really enjoyed grinding to get the shard/mats to do this. Nowadays it feels like i'm grinding just to be able to participate. Gone seems to be the days where i enjoyed the unlocking of characters.
    Pirates??? i have absolutly no bond or sense of joy for having to farm these, they mean nothing to me. Its a **bleep** shame that over time it feels to me like this is no longer a game to enjoy but more like a job to keep track of the things required to have some rewards. 
    And yes, people are going to say, this is how all games are, you grind to get progress, but who says grinding need to be without emotion? The feeling of getting attached to the character, finding out where he shines,... Anyway, i hope that CG takes notice of the complains the community seem to have, but i have serious doubts judging by the lack of communication.

    Have you considered you might be depressed? When I had untreated depression nothing was fun anymore

    ????? Is this some alternative way of saying stop complaining? Or is it genuine concern for my wellness?
    Anyway, no i'm not depressed, unless saying you enjoy the game less then you used to counts as depression?

    It's just lazy programming in my opinion. There could have been a light side path and a dark side path. Save Grogu and the Jedi using KB and other Jedi or a dark side path. Clones vs. clones does make sense because of the Bad Batch and what the shows set up. It could have been anything other than what we have. Especially, with fully maxed out Bad Batch and Dark side clone teams getting hammered at tiers 3 and 4. It's really not a lore issue as opposed to a lack of creativity issue. And there is more variety for GL's other than Force ones. Honestly, are you having fun?

    Honestly, no. I live a very happy and fulfilled life. Especially, because of my plant based diet and juicing. I'm just reflecting on the fact that this game has made billions of dollars over the years and this is what we get now. Imagine if you had billions of dollars to make a Star Wars game. What would you make?
