One trilogy to rule them all
If you had to pick one trilogy and I get the third one is only 2/3 complete which trilogy would you favor and why. Explain yourselves and try not be triggered by differences of opinions.

The new movies feel more like "my" trilogy than the others. I dislike the prequels and the OT was well before my time. Watching the new films as they come out makes me invested in the new ones more.

Finally a great answer. It's the NT by far. Snoke and Kylo are fantastic villains. Snoke is what kept Hux and Kylo in line. Both respected him and listened. With how the film ended barring unforeseen variables it will be an interesting dynamic since both would kill each other at the first opportune moment. I imagine hope will build up into a huge rebellion and the First Order will be in an all out war trying to bully those who resist their iron rule. This trilogy makes the speculation far more interesting because with the prequels we knew how it ended barring a few details.
The Ot was never my bag. It's vastly overrated and I'm not blinded by nostalgia. ANH is poorly acted and hasn't aged well at all. Most confuse sosmthing that started it all as somehow default great when it doesn't stack up well over time. It's great that the movie took place because of the later work but on its own as a film sub par compared to most of the films. Thus far both finales have been my favorite films of each trilogy but with my love affair with the Last Jedi that'll be a tough order to follow.

I'm going to get hate for this but Prequels
Let me explain. I appreciate the OT for what it is—after all we wouldn't have the other two trilogies if it wasn't for it—but I can't deny that ANH was a limited-budget, bad acting film with numerous flaws. Quanchi mentioned this before, but it's not an original story line. It's based off of an ancient Greek story (can't remember atm) and an old Japanese film. ESB and RotJ have great emotional aspects to them with interesting details, but they never really clicked with me. I didn't grow up with the OT, so the pop-culture piece was never present. I saw them for what the are.
I grew up with the prequels. Yes TPM and AotC are sh1t objectively speaking, but as a child, I didn't care. Big explosions, lasers, and action stood apart from the dragging moments in ESB. People like HelloGreedo will continue to bash on the prequels until the day they die, but you can't deny that they set up the atmosphere for Star WARS not star drama, or star rebels. For me, the Clone Wars lived up to the name of the franchise. Two equally matched sides going at it with armies of robots, clones, advanced technology, etc. RotS is a gem whose plot-line took me down an emotional rollercoaster that I couldn't say the same for the OT.
The new trilogy is something else alltogether. It appeals to a different generation of people and incorporates themes that we've never seen before in the previous movies. They're far more comical (or at least they try to) and light-hearted although they have their dark moments. So far it's my least favorite trilogy due to the aforementioned reasons, but certain aspects appeal to me. The special affects are definitely the first—I feel emerged in a space battle. Additionally some characters stand out like Snoke, Captain Phasma, and Beneicio Del Toro's character (stuttering guy).

No, the Ot doesn't have the best films you nostalgic fueled goon. Are you able to think for yourself or do you just randomly go stand in line clueless as to why you are even in it.
What films from the Ot do you even love from the Ot's ? Only one worth a damn is Rotj. ESB is so overrated it causes anger in my superior body. If you say ESB I'll fight you.
