I disagree. Rogue One and The Force Awakens are far better than the prequels with the acting alone. Plus I consider The Last Jedi the best Star Wars film since the original trilogy, and I think in years to come, that much misunderstood film (by "fans" at any rate - the critics were much kinder) will be recognised in much the same way On Her Majesty's Secret Service is now recognised as a great Bond film. Indeed, it's one of the very best.

But The Rise of Skywalker was a mess. That, I grant you.

Here's how I would have written the prequels, if you're interested (and if you've not seen this already — sorry for the endless link bombing, but it’s the easiest way to point to my considered thoughts on these various subjects). :)
