To each their own but I don’t see how anyone could feel Rogue One (or The Force Awakens for that matter) are better films than Jedi. Rogue One is a total mess, especially in the first half, with poorly defined characters and really bad direction and editing. There is nothing like the Forest Whittaker character in Jedi, some guy who stops the entire narrative flow of the film for two scenes where he does nothing but talk and then stand there and die. Nothing like the giant plothole of Cassian just deciding not to shoot someone important for…reasons. Etc. Etc.

Jedi is a mostly well put-together and satisfying movie that for whatever reason Lucas sprinkled in some prequel-style garbage stains throughout. The new films are not even well conceived at very basic story and filmmaking levels. I don’t see how they even compare.
