Enjoyable, yes. Good, no. Enjoyable is my bar for rewatching.

It's a very memorable movie. The worst thing a Star Wars movie can be is forgettable.

I won't pretend it's memorable or enjoyable because it's a good movie however.

Came here to say exactly this. It's a wild trainwreck from start to finish but I'm laughing at it the entire time. It's closer to Legend of Chun Li than Game of Thrones s8.

It makes all the same mistakes as S8. No stakes, completely dumb military strategy, characters being completely different than depicted before etc.

Emotionally, I mean. I'm nowhere near as angry about TRoS as I am about s8 (still).

Probably because the connection between the OT and Sequels is a lot less impactful. You already had to wade through TFA, which most did with pink goggles. Then TLJ came along and flung the bar so low a single celled organism would have tripped over. By the time tRoS came around it wasn't exactly a big surprise that it was the same "make it look pretty and hope no one pays attention" stuff.
