Another thing the sequels didn't have: accompanying games. The gaps between movies weren't filled exclusively by live action and animated series
Sure, only Revenge of the Sith actually had an actual "the movie the game", but the 90s and early 2000s saw a number of amazing Star Wars games (and some less than stellar), most only partially related to movies, others with completely news stories, which definitely helped keep people interested in the universe, even if they didn't like the movies. KOTOR, Republic Commando, Battlefront, X-Wing series, Dark Forces series.
Meanwhile, during the Disney years, we had Battlelootbox 1 and 2, Squadrons, Jedi Fallen Order+Survivor and... that's about it (also some Lego Star Wars stuff). The mobile stuff might as well be SW skins of whatever is the current mobile trend.
