I’ll defend TFA (and that’s speaking from a fan who saw the first movie’s release as a kid). The sequels had potential to be good in their own right, if they had a full story/direction planned out and controlled consistency throughout. At least for all their faults the Prequels had a plan, so the execution is weak but the plot is a good story. TFA is a good movie (with issues). The other two are flailing around.
In an alternate timeline Tony Gilroy is somehow the writer for all the Star Wars movies and shows.
TFA was just a lazy copy/paste of A New Hope, of course it’s going to be at least decent. It annoyed me immensely for that fact though.
Also people give The Last Jedi way more hate than it deserves. It had interesting themes and the plot wasn’t totally predictable. It’s easily my favorite of the three.
If they had just put in a scene with Kylo Ren complaining about aliens it would have been prescient. But I don’t remember them giving a whole lot of explanation for him wanting to be like gramps other than the ghost whisperer and a family feud with Luke.

Rise of Skywalker was dogshit for sure though.

The second one was the only slightly redeemable one of the three.
The first was a tired rehash, the second tried to do something new midway through a tired rehash trilogy, and the third was just shit.
Same as you and I also loved it. I’ve watched the next two movies several times and forgot what they’re about.
Seeing the Falcon in action again almost made me weep with joy.
