The Last Jedi is legitimately a very good movie.
The Force Awakens is fine, but dull and mostly forgettable.
The Rise of Skywalker is just bad.

I watched all of the trilogy of trilogies with my dad in theaters, so they will always have a special place in my heart. I enjoyed all of them for that reason, but I look at the sequels as good entertainment for the afternoon, but I'm not interested in seeing them again. I also don't intend to watch any of the shows. I'm sure they are good, or at least momentarily entertaining, but I'm not so interested/invested in the franchise anymore. I've moved on.
I very much enjoyed Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker. Last Jedi was painfully bad IMO. I like those other two much more than any of the prequels, true to Lucas' vision or not.
But, it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks, if you want to watch them then do. And if you do, and you like them, then all good. And if you do watch them, but don't like them, also all good. And if you decide not to watch them, also also all good.
Life's too short to worry about a bunch of movies.
I enjoyed The Force Awakens, but the other two I enjoyed more for just cool individual scenes (lightsaber boat battle, etc) than the movies themselves.
