Unfortunately there is no option to like the film in the voting
For me, Star Wars was always an adventure and not meant to be taken too seriously.
TESB It's basically about the Empire's quest for revenge and a deeper look at some of the characters.
With a franchise with so many films, there will always be different narrative directions.
Personally, I hate all prequels and sequels outside of the Original Trilogy.
Except Rogue One, I loved the idea of explaining the Death Star's vulnerability. However, I agree that the fairytale quality has been lost a bit over the years and the films and series have become a bit more serious.
If you look at RO and then ANH, it doesn't really fit together in terms of mood.
But both are good films that belong to a timeline.
what was the question again?
So yes, I still like Empire
