The only sequel movie I have found that I am able to enjoy is TFA. TFA can be watched again. Rey and Finn had a lot of potential in that film and are the only new sequel characters I find likable. I really wish that TLJ had not taken a hammer to their characters and journeys.I have seen episodes 8-9 multiple times but I find little value in them. TLJ just took the setup from TFA and smashed it leaving no room for growth and 9 can only be watched once. Future watches of 9 just make it worse each time because you have already gotten the nostalgia junk out of the way.I have found the prequel era more compelling since '99. I hated the prequels until Clone Wars rescued the era. I can sit and enjoy them now.I cannot image that happening with the sequels. I have reach the sequel era novels and nothing makes that era better. The authors were too constrained in the stories they could tell and it is obvious that the period between episode 6 and 7 was never really planned out or story-boarded effectively. Even Mandoverse has done an awful job showing the interim period.My favorite movie will always be ANH. I saw it when I was 4 during the re-release in 1980 and it is the movie I re-watch the most. My kids 12 and 7 also love Star Wars and we watch the movies as a family although they also refuse to re-watch the sequels even when I ask them.</blockquote>
