This isn't controversial, is MADNESS!
Spoilers The Controversial Star Wars Opinion Thread

Not to me, I enjoy all 11 live action movies, and I don't remember The Clones Wars movie very well since I only watched it once, but I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it too.
I'm pretty sure that most of my Star Wars opinions are considered controversial around here 
, but just to name a few that would be considered controversial/unpopular on the internet in general:
1. I think that Andor sucks, its basically the anti-Star Wars show, and I think its loved by the "prestige" TV crowd mostly because of how much loathing it has for its own franchise.
2. The Last Jedi is a legitimately great film. A few flaws, sure, but literally every movie has flaws. I don't think that this opinion is as controversial as the stupider parts of the internet claim it is, but I'll still count it.
3. Rise of Skywalker is mediocre and makes a lot of stupid mistakes but I don't think its terrible. I'd still rate it over any of the prequels and Solo.
4. The Mandalorian Season 3 was great, and as much as I like Din Djarin and Grogu I'm also completely fine with other Mandalorian characters taking a bigger role in the show, like Bo-Katan did in this season.
5. Ashoka (the show) is Dave Filoni's The Phantom Menace, and I'm not just saying that because Ashoka was written like a George Lucas written prequel Jedi (aka having no emotions and being boring as shit). Its also a glacially slow show with a bunch of junk that should have been cut, and the few actors that I think would be good in other projects (I actually really like who they cast as Ezra and Thrawn) are struggling to do anything with bad scripts. It doesn't help that the intense connections to Rebels 100% hurts the show, even for someone like me who watched all of Rebels much less for people that never watched Rebels (aka probably 90% of the general audience who watch the live action stuff).
6. Little Leia and Reva ruined Obi-Wan, the show should have been focused on Obi-Wan and Vader, not some precocious brat and an unkillable block of wood.

I seem to be in the minority of fans who liked the Dr. Pershing episode in Season 3 and appreciate what it was trying to accomplish but I'm content to live with that. It was one of the best episodes of that last season and barely even had Mando in it.
I would if you exclude the Sequels.
I think Lucas should have included a moment, a line or a scene featuring Leia's grief over the destruction of Alderaan.
For me, I enjoy it because it fills in the gaps of what I suspected with the Sequels, that the New Republic tried too hard to return to the old ways, and punish the Imperials to make them fall in line with presenting this New Old Republic that was totally fine, despite the cracks.
That Dr. Pershing episode is probably the only episode I didn't like of Season 3 of Mandalorian, mostly because it felt like an Andor episode and I've already stated my opinion on that show. But I still count the overall season as very good, its not like Seasons 1 and 2 didn't have occasional dud episodes (that ice planet episode with the mute lizard alien and her eggs immediately comes to mind).
That episode was duller than anything with Andor. Just totally skippable in my opinion.
Though, it does reinforce the New Republic being dicks for no reason.
Despite a couple pieces of humor that fell flat, I thought the stuff with Luke and Rey was Empire Strikes Back level material. Mark Hamill certainly put in his best performance as Luke in EpVIII. I wanted to stand up and cheer when Luke called out the Jedi Order for being responsible for its own destruction. I mean, that's always been pretty obvious, but it's nice for the big hero of the whole saga to canonically put a pin in it. Even the stuff with Rey and Kylo Ren largely worked, despite the obvious callbacks to Return of the Jedi.
Sadly, the rest of the movie feels like pointless filler designed to give the rest of the cast something to do, ultimately revealing that Poe Dameron is the biggest imbecile in the GFFA.

And should have stayed dead.
There was such a moment in an unused take, where seconds after Alderaan's destruction, she's still standing with Vader, et al., and drops her head before being led away. I agree with cutting from the explosion to Obi-Wan's Force reaction for pacing's sake, and to tease the audience about the Falcon party racing right to the source of that destruction.
Carrie's line in that moment is a very perturbed, "And you call yourselves humans." It's not a good line and I'm glad that never made it into the final cut.
I mean, when there are people who say that a movie has "raped their childhood", what credibility can I give to their opinions?
And I remember that when Katie Lucas (George's daughter) tried to say how insensitive these words were, the fans were offended by her, because she didn't understand their pain.
