TCinLA. I highly recommend Rogue One. I agree with you on most points especially the last 6 movies. I will disagree that I find Empire the superior of the 3 with ANH a close second. The last 3rd of RotJ redeemed that one…I still hate the Ewoks however. The prequels and sequels were just trash. ANH is still dear to me because I was 12 when I saw it originally in the theaters… what a blessing.

Once again R1 in my opinion is probably 3rd on my list of SW movies.. hopefully u give it a go. If you like it Andor is very good as well.
