It's a weird movie, the story around Rey, Luke, Kylo, and Snoke was excellent, but the story around Finn, Rose, and the general was awful writing and usually bland acting. There's a really good movie in there, maybe one of the best Star Wars, if you cut out half of it.

And then, by those rules, now Episodes 1-3 have a heavily edited shot at being the best, as well. Haha.

As it so happens, I haven't seen the original prequels in over a decade, and only watch the HAL 9000 edits, and I would say they are all substantial improvements.
