I enjoyed it but it felt like JJ took everything that was popular on fansites and made a movie out of it. There were rumors that the initial movie was REALLY BAD. The rumor was they had to fix a lot of the plot in several months. Apparently the screenings they held, only people that had never watched a star wars movie didn't completely hate it and even then it was rated as mediocre. It was to the point that they almost pushed the movie back but decided to redo a lot and push for the premier date.
I rewatched the entire series and came to several conclusions.
1. Other than Jar Jar, the prequels are pretty good and better than I remember. If George had made Jar Jar a secret Sith then it would have made them a lot better.
2. The originals are good but my nostalgia makes them better.
3. The Last Jedi isn't as bad as I remembered but it is still my least favorite movie. The whole plot of the movie is centered around Leia and Hodo not trusting Poe with the plan. He is important enough to get Luke's map and face down a Dreadnaught alone but not enough to tell him they plan on getting close to a planet and abandon ship. Also the entire casino side quest was pretty cringeworthy.
4. Rise of the Skywalker is a good ending but could have been a better "movie". I appreciated some of the things that Rian did with The Last Jedi but the overall movie wasn't that good. It is almost the opposite of Episode 9. The movie played it safe a lot but was a good movie just not great.
