People actually liked The Force Awakens when it came out, its retrospect that makes it awful because now we know nothing it sets up had any direction at all. It sowed seeds which The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker failed to cultivate into something satisfying so when people look back at it now they rightly see it as the source of the issues. But at the time, when it came out, people fell for the nostalgiabait and lauded it.
GQ doesn't need a sequel(s) to make it satisfying, it isn't full of unresolved mystery boxes for future films to bungle, its self contained and satisfying as is, thus will be remembered fondly unlike the Star Wars sequel trilogy which will always be reviled.
