Those two are the first Star Wars movies I have seen that I really didn't want to watch again. I enjoyed them enough when I saw them, but really don't need to see them again.

Rogue One on the other hand I would watch again and again.
My rankings of the new Star Wars:

1- Rogue One
2- Solo
3- Force Awakens

I liked the Last Jedi for the most part. There are a few parts I could do without (Lea surviving in space, Snoke getting tricked so easily), but I enjoyed the general plot of the movie.

I mean, anything compared to the prequels is Oscar quality stuff.

I thought Last Jedi was a good movie...but I also didn't really like it. Does that make sense?

Haven't seen Solo yet, but I liked the other three. Really does seem there's more of a split with the sequels and who likes them.

I have not seen Last Jedi, Rogue One or Solo yet. I'd like to see the 1st two in that list. I really don't care whether I see Solo or not.

I have seen The Force Awakens twice. I watched it a 2nd time because I wanted to be reminded of all that happened. The fact that I didn't remember everything from the 1st viewing (which I was very much looking forward to) says a lot about my overall opinion of The Force Awakens.

I think the way Luke was portrayed really put a lot of people off. Mark Hamill had some issues with the direction they took the character, so it makes sense that people who have known this character for 40 years had issues too.

I plan on seeing Solo this weekend.

Be nice if those Last Jedi remake-wanters gave some money or time to one of the many many other sci-fi / fantasy franchises out there.
