IGN readers picked up best Star Wars ("modern ones"). Rogue One won by a lot.

- Start date
Phantom fucking Menace had more compelling characters than Rogue One, it also literally put me to sleep like Phantom Menace. It doesn't have a long as fuck pod race which is a plus, Vader scene and Maul fight are good.(even if the former was the most blatant fan service known to man)
In short R1 is as bad as PM.

To watch, I definitely think TFA is the best, I thought Rogue One was the best on first watch but subsequent watched made me withdraw and change that opinion.
I'd say that the Maul fight, Luke vs Vader rematch, and the lightspeed suicide attack were the best scenes in the entire (film) franchise.

Do you think someone would lie on the internet just to backup their point? Nonsense!
the only reason i like rogue one is the battle scenes. other than that, characters and pacing sucked, but i aint gonna lie, the battle scenes are amazing.
Rogue One is the only Star Wars that I get no enjoyment out of rewatching. My least favorite movie.
I agree with this completely.
Rogue one is WAY better than FA or TLJ. And for me it's the best Star Wars movie period.

I agree that TFA and TLJ are more fun because of the characters.
TFA was a pretty middling film, raised by the character's chemistry and banter. 'That's not how the force works'

I'll be honest - I couldn't finish Rogue One. And I say that as somebody who was able to finish the prequel trilogy as well as Solo. I was terribly, terribly bored of Rogue One and I wish I could tell you how far into the movie I stopped watching or at what plot point, but I just can't recall.
Rogue One is the best Star Wars film since Empire. Caught it seven times in the theater. A beautiful SW film.
Huh?
Rogue One boasts the least compelling characters of any Star Wars film. None of their sacrifices feel necessary or particularly heroic even, and none of their deaths managed to stir me at all. At least the prequel trilogies have Obi-wan to carry them.

yeah their ranking more or less tracks with mine, I enjoyed Rogue One for the stuff it tried to do different. The main casting wasn't great though, both Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor just felt off and didn't have much chemistry. I always find it weird when people say "oh, most people see TLJ as their favorite recent Star Wars movie, people in this thread are a minority" -- nah, most people are pretty meh on it.
R1 was definitely the best of the new movies. Better than the prequels too. Probably 3rd best in the series after Empire and ANH. I'm not a huge Star Wars though. But that movie was actually fun and had some stakes (marvel could learn a thing or two from R1 about that).
That goes to the sequel trilogy, hands down, outside of Kylo Ren.
The lie detector has determined....you were telling the truth.... and since nobody asked me I'll post the following, scientifically proven rankings:
Rogue One
The Force Awakens
Solo
The Last Jedi
Rogue One
The Force Awakens
Solo
The Last Jedi
The Vader scene was pretty great. The only one I liked was Solo, went in with no expectations and enjoyed it quite a bit. The rest where just disappointing.
Rogue One is very good and I make no apologies for liking it.
It made the Death Star and Vader terrifying again. The film's focus on the Death Star as a realistic megaweapon of war makes TFA's Starkiller Base plot feel incredibly lightweight and laughable in comparison.
Krennic as a petulant middle management loser was excellent.
Retconning the Death Star flaw was genius.
The Vader scene is pure fanservice in a good way
The space battle is the best since RotJ.
Giacchino's score (completed in a couple of weeks) is effective and does a good job of emulating Williams' style.
TFA is like the inverse of Rogue One; it starts very strongly and peters out by its third act.

It's not a lie. His experience is from a vacuum, one person's perspective who probably only goes to like 3 different theaters. Meanwhile there are thousands of theaters in the US in different states where people may have different priorities or have standards for their time spent. Quite frankly, his experience is meaningless in an argument about what I said being false.
Of the new movies:
Rogue One
TLJ
Solo
TFA
Rogue One isn't outstanding, but it's a solid film with a great final act. TLJ has some high highs, but also very low lows. Solo is just alright, but not particularly memorable. TFA is derivative nonsense that ruined any potential the sequel trilogy could have had.

All the Disney ones are about 7/10 to me.
Except Solo, I can only watch it for a few minutes because I struggle to see Han Solo and feel empty.
This
except it makes me think it is a meh star wars
But I think Last Jedi is the best thing to happen to the franchise since
Agreed, loved it and still do.
Answered a question I always had and in a way I found enjoyable and interesting.
Gonna have to agree here. The chara ter writing is just so poor. And, yeah, the third act has some pretty amazing action but it's kinda ruined by the fact that the movie failed to make me care about the band of characters.
