For me, it goes Star Wars 4, 8, 7, 5, (Rogue One), 3, (Solo), 2, 6, 1. I'm not a huge fan of Starwars or star trek, I just enjoy them as cheesy action films. So I figured I'd chime in as a "regular joe" film watcher. I really enjoyed The Last Jedi, because for me, Luke fit in perfectly for someone who was an idealist who got hit with his first real failure. 4, 5, and 6 was all about how perfect Luke is. Incorruptible and noble. Then we find out he's just as flawed as anyone, and one moment of weakness is enough to break him and screw over the universe. He couldn't own up to his mistakes, and he went and pouted for a decade rather than try to fix things. I found it perfectly normal. You see it today with the generation of adults raised to demand trophies for everything and told by their parents that they are perfect. Now they cannot accept criticisms at all, and have meltdowns if life doesn't go their way.

I know Mark Hammill had issues with it, but I think it's from him wanting to be the noble swashbuckler again, rather than having to actually ACT in a movie. Something George Lucas never asked him to do.

The new trailer looks interesting. I'll definitely see it in the 2nd or 3rd week of it's theatrical run.

Well my top 3 are ROTJ, TFA and RO, so I'm not too far off from your line of thinking. And I consider myself a HARDCORE live and breathe star wars fan. The new films are incredibly fun and enjoyable.
