I personally like well-executed lightsaber fights and high stakes conflicts, Rise of Skywalker has more of that than Force Awakens, and the "fight" from TFA did nothing for me, even though the first half of the film is a lot of fun. Also people may not agree but I liked the progression of Kylo Ren/Ben Solo in IX and the 10 minutes we saw of Ben Solo was highly enjoyable for me. His mannerisms were different as well as his fighting style after he turned and it was maybe the coolest thing to me about the whole trilogy.

The Last Jedi had the best lightsaber action of the three sequels, which speaks to how terrible it was, as it still lands below the other two.

Rogue One is solid and highly watchable, albeit not as thrilling as the originals at any point outside of the last 5 minutes. I liked Solo quite a bit for what it was and the creative room they had to work with and thought it had the best cast outside the first six saga films.

The Mandalorian would be firmly up with the originals. It checks all the same boxes, with similar moments of emotional payoff.
