foreverdawning I've fought with many people over this but Rogue One is the only good Star Wars film.
First of all, it's got Mads Mikkelsen who is best known for his role as the bitch in Rihanna's music video Bitch Better Have my Money. He proved that he can do less serious roles such as Jyn Erso's father in Rogue One. Also the movie had a clear end-goal. Most other Star Wars movies seem to be grasping at straws as to why they're fighting the empire. In Rogue One, the protagonists goals are clear: acquire the plans for the Death Star to find its weaknesses so that it cannot destroy any more planets. In other Star Wars films where the end goal is clear such as in the original for example, the pacing is boring.
I'm not going to touch on the graphics at all because it's not fair to compare early 70s sci fi effects with today's technology. It was amazing for it's time because it fixed together two genres that the American people loved, space and westerns. Today, the most popular movies are superhero films and sequels. Rogue One is so much better than any other Star Wars film because it goes against the normal movie formula. It's still part of a beloved franchise but can still be watched as a standalone film.
And that's why I'm right.

The Force Awakens was a good start of the sequel trilogy. A bit formulaic and nostalgic, but still very watchable. It sorta reminded me of the Star Trek Reboot. (Same director lol)
... TLJ did not fit within the star wars saga. It was basically a galactic gas leak episode. All the characters acted out of character due to a badly written script.

I grew up watching the prequels in theaters and the original films on vhs/dvd. I even played Battlefront, and read fanfics. Overall, it was part of my life.
We are at opposite ends here lol
