As far as the sequels I enjoyed VII even though I didn't buy into the Finn character and didn't really like Oscar Isaac in his role. I have to watch Rogue again as I was very sick when I saw it the first time, but from what I remember I enjoyed it. Last Jedi was only ok for me. Long-winded in parts (the Luke and Rey storyline - zzzz), and it felt very disjointed. I have not seen Rise of Skywalker as the general consensus is that it is worse than Last Jedi. I will likely watch it eventually. So all things considered I vote sequels, but I can't help thinking that in the right hands all the movies could have been great.
And if Lucas wasn't such a controlling egomaniac we would have had the Thrawn trilogy with the original SW actors instead of the prequels. But I digress...

Rise of Skywalker is far and away better than Last Jedi.
One problem with it is it had to recover from the disaster that was Last Jedi. Abbrams had some things set up that Last Jedi butchered and he had to undo it all in Rise of Skywalker.
It had other problems, too. The whole trilogy is kind of a mess.
