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 enjoyed The Force Awakens, but the other two I enjoyed more for just cool individual scenes (lightsaber boat battle, etc) than the movies themselves.
If you're don't like star wars, they are just sub-standard slop. 9 is a heavy contender for "so bad it's funny" like sharknado
I never saw 9 since 7 & 8 were so bad. After your comment ai might check it out, I love Sharknado.
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.
If you ignore the social stigma about them about how many ways people inject their social philosophies and other mind junk into the fabric of the films. As well as not look to into things, then it's just as Star Wars as they come except Disney-fied.
