Rogue 1 was also pretty good. It seems like the Star Wars jinx is that nobody can pull off extensions of the Skywalker story without getting hokey and weird. But the stories that explore other parts of the universe tend to be at least interesting and sometimes excellent.

Rogue 1 is my favorite star wars film overall.

Incredibly well executed and fantastic characters.

Disney dropped the ball on every single thing other than R1 and Mandalorian.

Solo was not bad either, and honestly Revenge of the Sith is a great story too.

RoTS is my second favourite after rogue one. I am just of the age where the prequels were my jam when I was a kid and I love them still to this day.

1. Rogue One 2. Revenge of The Sith 3. Empire Strikes Back

Rogue 1 is great, how many mainstream movies kill off everyone at the end of the movie - brilliant!
