Snooker, I have a similar opinion, but with the opposite movies. I’ve tried to rewatch TLJ many times, and each time it’s made me bored by the characters. It was only until seeing this movie when I realized I liked Rey, Finn, and Poe on the same level as the OT in TFA and TROS, just TLJ was the difference.
I think part of it is the themes. TLJ tries to create complex themes and personally I think it is at the expense of the characters and their arcs TFA was pointing them in. The only part I liked was Luke’s story, but even then I think it came at the expense of making Rey bland.
Now for TROS, yes, the plot is stupid, but I think the character drama is on point. Whereas the Last Jedi felt so run by it’s themes.
This is my feeling. TFA had fun characters but barely said anything with them. TLJ tried to say something but made the characters boring in the process. TROS brought the fun back to the characters but while running so far in the opposite direction with the message that it went back around to being good-bad. And so for me TROS manages to be the first movie of this trilogy that is fun on all fronts.
