Not sure if I’ve posted on this thread yet but in case I haven’t:

I think TFA kneecapped everything with its nostalgia, mystery boxes, shitty worldbuilding, etc.

I’ve grown to really like TLJ, but I always prefer to watch that official silent movie version over the real thing. I like Rian’s “high-brow” style of dialogue, but I don’t think it fits within Star Wars (or at least not this “corner” of it).

TRoS only works for me when I pretend the other two don’t exist and that it’s some sorta self-contained epilogue movie to the OT, and even then it still has problems. I guess you can also try to pretend like it’s a b-movie/ Saturday morning cartoon.

Not sure how I’d rank them, at this point (same can be said for any of the films now, really). Overall I consider it on-par with the PT (they have opposite problems from one another).
