Yes, but the meme is that a wide variety of inspiration from good movies was used to create Star Wars and then Star Wars was used to spawn out a bunch of stuff without any apparent additional inspiration.

Andor is also amazing (not on the list) but I’d argue it isn’t really inspired by Star Wars. It is in the same universe, but I think it takes a lot more from other media, and also real life, than it does from Star Wars.
Rogue One is alright. Not amazing but not as bad as the rest. It is largely still just Star Wars with a different cast. There’s hints that it could have been something special, but it wasn’t allowed to.
The fact that they got lucky one time doesn’t mean the overall problem isn’t a problem.
I mean didn’t they kinda get lucky on the first movie? I saw Rogue 1 as more of a return to form.

Unpopular Opinion but Solo was the closest to A New Hope in form as far as I was concerned.
Take out the fan service and it was all the Yeehaw Space Cowboys that ANH was.
