I thought Rogue One was solid except for the main character
I like a lot of the visually appealing design and world building that has gone into the movies post 1983. I didn't feel an emotional investment in Rogue One because it was well established that they were doomed. I didn't like how quick the turnaround of the main character happened, where it was like one moment she wanted nothing to do with the resistance, to pretty much leading their biggest operation to date.
I like the new trilogy. There's a lot of recycled themes, but I have a lot of fun watching it. Will they ever match the original trilogy? Not to me, but these movies are less for my generation of SW fans and more for the younger generation that don't have much of a connection to the franchise. So I just buy the ticket and enjoy the ride. It doesn't have to be better as long as it's still a fun watch.
