To be honest, it was way better than the prequels...
That's not saying much ;-)
The best part of the prequels was making out with my wife in the empty theater.
I thought it was the memes, seriously quotable movies though.
As someone born in the 90s I actually enjoyed the prequel movies, being a kid and all. They are terribly campy but it has been the source of many in-jokes.
The prequels were problematic for many reasons but at least they flowed from one person's vision. The 6-9 trilogy suffered from too many people's ideas of what it was intended to be. There was no unifying vision.
