I actually liked Solo, maybe because the casting choices for Lando and Woody just plain worked. The main actor wasn't bad as Han, but was doomed to fail because of the Harrison factor.
Ok my list
1) Empire - Complete movie in every way with some great dialogue and the rare, the bad guy kicks the crap out of the hero's cliff hanger
2) ANH - The original, shocked you at first, the dialogue is stilted and awkward at times, but a great story line
3) Rogue One - Everything I wanted with no Jedi . . . well kinda. Some really cool concepts built around one line in the ANH crawler
4) Return of the Jedi - Overall it was good, introduced us to the Emperor, yeah the Ewoks was kind of a weird choice, but if they would have done wookies the battle would have been over in minutes
5) Revenge of the Sith - Sue me I liked it, could have been longer, or split into two movies to deepen Anakin's fall, but the Palpatine back story coming to an end was great
6) The Force Awakens - It was a reboot of ANH, but decently done, I really liked Daisy in it
7) Phantom Menace - Deeply flawed and over CGI'd but had some really cool moments that I liked
8) Solo - Again liked some of the casting and the second half was really good to me.
9) Attack of the Clones - Attack of the bad dialogue, the idea of the Clone Wars as presented was very cool though, again built from a throwaway line in ANH
10) The Last Jedi - A train wreck, right from the start. Not much in the way of redeemable scenes
11) ROS - A desperate attempt to save the trilogy that fell flat to me.
