I got a bit put off by the 8th movie, and didn't really watch the last one. I've read a lot of bad reviews about it, so I never really felt the need to watch it. I really like the original three, and the prequels seemed better as time went by. Just gotta skip forward during the Jar Jar parts haha.
Reviews. Yeah, that keeps some people away from things but not me, I like to make my own mind up on things based on the experience.
