This Disney slop bored me to death. It's odd, this movie and Solo simply bored me and I couldn't finish them, yet I could finish Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker due to just how utterly bizarre they were. Once was enough though.
And what about Phantom Menace? Is it a flawed movie? Sure. I think the decision to change Anakin to a 9 year old in the first movie of this prequel trilogy was not the best move. As was diminishing the focus on Obi Wan Kenobi in favor of Qui Gon (and I like Qui Gon quite a lot, he's a good character, wise and sympathetic, a great Jedi and warm man). However, the movie still has an interesting backstory for how a corrupt Republic slowly turns into a galactic empire ruled by a clever manipulative senator from a small planet.
At the very least it sets up the Anakin/Obi Wan relationship and the movie has several great action pieces such as the pod race and the final battle with the duel between Maul and Qui Gon/Obi Wan being one of the Star Wars series highlights.
I can't remember anything from Force Awakens.
