The Last Jedi, especially if you don't take into account The Rise of Skywalker's sloppy reaction to it, is the best Star Wars movie since ROTJ, and maybe since Empire.
Yes…
…except you clearly forgot about Rogue One.
Oh thanks for reminding me of my hot take: Rogue One is a thoroughly mediocre and boring movie that fails to give any of its characters personality or development. The only reason it has any acclaim is that it's a "dark" plot in an otherwise saccharine franchise, and if the Star Wars set dressing was removed the whole movie would fall over like a potemkin village.
I do think it's better than several of the main movies, but that's not saying much... And I'd probably rather rewatch those trainwrecks because at least they're entertaining.
I did not, though admittedly there's a world where Rian Johnson takes pointers from some of R1's action sequences and TLJ is even more clearly the best SW movie of the last thirty years.
The Last Jedi is kind of like an AI hallucination: any given finger is very realistically rendered, but put together the hand doesn't make sense.
