I like Star Wars a lot, but “the original star wars changed filmmaking forever, it won 7 oscars” and “objectively one of the best movies ever made” are way too ambitious statements.

Not always what you (in fact, what we all) like is the best.

Star Wars is just a movie that not even closely reaches to the highest cinema can give as a form of art. Nor will it ever. It’s a technological fantasy, and it’s supposed to be a fun ride. Within Star Wars movies, some are more serious and more fun than others, but not even one of them raises questions of existencial complexity as true art does, or should do.

The media phenomenon around it shouldn’t cloud its value, for good or bad. Kids stuff, as its own author said.
In fact the main trouble with the prequels is that they tried to bee more serious than what was possible for a space soap opera.

They were, are, and will be enjoyable and fun as ever precisely because they don’t raise those questions, and they simplify and present a world were good and evil are generally delimitated and the moral compass is almost fixed; these movies make us divert from those questions, and are plain and pure entertainment.

At least personally, Rogue One did entertain me, and among many other things, it was able to transportate me into the aesthetics of a universe I felt the same as the one I remember from when as a kid. That’s all I could ask from these movies, and that’s were TFA failed to me.
