It's a testament to the power of the 3 original movies, they have created 40 years of inertia.

This is your opinion. And you’re entitled to it. As for me, I’ve enjoyed and love all nine Star Wars Movies.
I even liked Solo and Rogue One might be one of her best of the bunch.

The original three movies are awesome because they were solely focused on telling a good story that would captivate and entertain audiences (although as much as I love RotJ, you can see the greed starting to seep in there). Rogue One is also awesome because that’s all they really tried to do in that movie too. The remainder either exist only to cash in on the franchise (the prequels) or only to cash in on the franchise while also giving the directors/producers a chance to blow the minds of you squares with how progressive, visionary, and tolerant they are (the sequels).

This has got to be the most overrated movie series of all time. Almost every movie in the series is arse, yet the movie/tv board won’t shut up about it. What’s so immersive about it? If you aren’t a boomer, what do you legitimately like about it?
The Mandalorian
The Clone Wars (current animated series)
Clone Wars (the one done in Samurai Jack style)
Rebels
Rogue One
Some of the best characters came out of those shows, including Ahsoka Tano, Asaaji Ventress and the Clone Troopers.
Also, I would argue that Solo and Revenge of the Sith do not "Suck". They're not quite on par with the original trilogy, but they are not terrible movies. TFA wasn't incredibly bad, just formulaic.
Also, each movie has moments that make them memorable.
TPM - Qui Gon & Obi Wan vs Maul
TCW - Giant saber duel & arrival of the clone army
ROTS - Obi Wan vs Anakin
Solo - Escaping the Kessel Run
TFA - Finn & Poe escaping the dreadnought
TLJ - ...
Okay, so I can't think of one for TLJ.

But Empire is so good it makes up for the rest.

It is. Other than New Hope and Empire, every movie in the saga is pretty weak.
But I still love them because they were such an integral part of my childhood. When I think of magical movie theater experiences, the excitement and anticipation as I walked in to see Empire and ROTJ are right near the top.

The only bad Star Wars movie is TLJ

I was 9 when the original came out.
The lived-in-world that is so familiar but yet concurrently other-worldly makes it remain fantastic eye candy for me to this day.
The locations, ships, costumes, weapons, creatures, etc...conjured up by Lucas and McQuarrie & Co. will always grab my attention, even if the story/dialogue/acting/casting is disappointing/horrid.

It can't possibly be overrated. It is quite literally a billion dollar franchise

Same for many things. Rolling stones, Ozzy Osborne, Christy Brinkley, Cindy Crawford
A couple good albums/years, 50 year careers.
