and the other 2 in the first series years ago, but after that they seem to me to be more and more like Hallmark Christmas movies . The same plot over and over, with a slightly different cast and setting.

Despite the abuse it receives from fanboys. I am looking forward to see how they pay tribute to the awesome Carrie Fisher in the final flick.

I actually rank it just below "a new hope" and "empire"

I agree the storyline is incredible and compelling but the movie seems to capture the feel of the Star Wars universe just before "A New Hope" perfectly.

the mandolorian is the best star wars since rogue one. Rogue one was the best star wars since empire strikes back.

Visually, I really like the current trilogy. Story-wise, not so much. Particularly, I didn't like how the second movie said fuck you to the first movie, making me worried that the 3rd movie will spend most of its time fixing the 2nd movie instead of being a victory lap for the entire nine-movie series. However, it didn't "ruin Star Wars for me."

That said, Rogue One is easily my favorite of the entire series.
