I never saw a Star Wars film I didn't like. Obviously nothing compares to that first opening of the original in the 70s, with the never ending flyover. But though I loved Empire even more as a film, a little annoyance started with it's opening titles and the Episode 5 bit, and the revelation that it was to be a nine part saga. One Lucas would never finish. I've always thought it nonsense to take so long to get this thing done. It should have been done and dusted years ago. He only has himself to blame.
I don't hate the prequels, but they are unfortunately rather uneventful after a long time waiting. And I thought it would all be great by Revenge of the Sith, where we see an emotional pay-off. But there was nothing in the third installment to give that pay-off. The ultimate duel between Obi Wan and Anakin was a letdown, and the creation of the Emperor was too fast. He became the twisted gargoyle in what seemed like an instant instead of the power gradually making him worse, which I would have found more believable.
So I'm afraid the creator of this franchise did not give his best to it. The last two films were much better. The death of Han Solo was far more emotional than anything I've seen in the prequels, and the last sequence of Rogue One where Vader mows down all the rebels on the ship just prior to his appearance in the original film is also way more fun and exciting. Lucas basically took too long and lost the plot, and now moans about someone else picking it up, getting on with it and doing a better job. In terms of both drama and excitement other people are better.

The rest of the film has little or nothing to do with taxation....
