There isn't just zero imagination in them. It's negative zero imagination. Remembered how they teased Dark Rey leading up to the release of TROS? Now remember how literally nobody on earth believed for a second it was anything more than a cheap fan bait gimmick that would amount to nothing? Remember how they were right and it was literally nothing.
That is because everyone knew they had negative zero imagination being put until these movies. Everyone knew these movies were just generic Star Wars tropes with a shiny coat of paint.
