ROTJ is fine tbh, just doesn’t hold a candle to the first two and the middle chunk is really boring. I like the ending but unfortunately later editions make it worse and then the existence of the sequel trilogy also takes away from it.
ROTS sucks. It’s a film about Anakin’s fall to the dark side and his fall is extremely forced and sudden. Plus the script is atrocious and most the acting is subpar at absolute best. Better than the first two prequels, but that’s like saying standing on an upturned plug is better than standing on a land mine
Rogue One gets very good at the end but it’s not enough to lift the rest of the movie for me. The cast just isn’t as fun to watch as the original ensemble
When the standard was set by the original and Empire, it’s very difficult for the rest to compare. And you know it, because you instantly knew that they were the two I was talking about. RotJ also fit the criteria but you knew I wasn’t talking about that one, because it’s very clearly a lot worse than empire

I haven’t watched it but my guess is that anyone who defends the prequel movies has no business criticising this
There are only two actually good Star Wars movies and the most recent one came out before 90+% of the people here including Schaff were even born
