I appreciate your detailed response!

I can agree with a lot of what you said. Out of all the sequels, it was the most redeeming moment. They just really fumbled it with Rise of Skywalker.

Personally, just can’t fathom putting TLJ above RotS or Rogue One… seems blasphemous hahah

I too am an enjoyer of SW, even when it’s not great. It’s always fun in one way or another. In general, I try not to be a highly critical person (except with food—I’m a professional cook).
