It's a lot of great characters and fantastic ideas, but in terms of the movies, it's largely been a boring mess. The Last Jedi, Rogue One, and Return Of The Sith are the only two I can re-watch and actually enjoy.
The rest range from "fine" to unwatchable. I re-watched the OG trilogy awhile back and couldn't wait for it to be over. Han Solo is just about the most overrated character relative to what he actually is and does that I can think of, and Leia isn't far behind.
At least PM and Attack Of The Clones have great visuals to work with, but still largely boring.
The basic mythology is great, as are a handful of characters. Luke has the GOAT moment of the whole thing with his ruse against Kylo Ren (who rules, despite the overall trainwreck we got in ROS) and Ewan and Yoda are the saving grace of Eps 1-3.
But for a franchise with such a rabid fanbase, there's so much hokey, b-movie trash in these movies It's a minor miracle they're as heralded as they are.
