A lot of what Matt said there is how I feel, and Rogue One has been my favorite of the new movies.
The new trilogy doesn't have that place in my heart that the OT does, and perhaps that's partially why RO is so cool and fun to me. And maybe why I'm looking forward to Solo a little more than some others are?
That said I thought the new movie was great, I love going to see them... I don't feel compelled to see it opening night quite as badly as I used to because it's not always convenient for me, but I still feel it's a special thing getting to see a new movie.
To me though, and maybe this has helped me too, to me these are all a form of expanded universe. It's like more LOTR to me is just not Tolkien's stuff, and so it's just not quite the same, but for my $, some of my favorite Star Wars stories were like Maarek Steele and Keyan Farlander's story, or Kyle Katarn's, and so I'm ok with a slight disconnect from these films and the OT.
That said, the new trilogy is vastly superior, IMO, to the PT, in most ways, and so it just proves to me that Lucas was not the end all be all... he maybe created the universe, but other people can do wonderful things with it, and that makes me hopeful for all the films, and that they're pretty special to go to every year.
The toy launches are getting a tad old, as are the fairly shallow offerings for any given film... But that's another topic for another section I guess.
