Enjoyed the original film, but haven't liked any of them since. Not seen any all the way through mind you. Got bored quickly with the 2nd and 3rd films (apart from Princess Leia in skimpy outfit!). Saw bits of the three that came after. All looked totally Meh. Latest two look 'OK' from what I've seen but to be honest I'm just not into the whole world/vibe that has been created. I never liked the idea of going back and filming prequels, they just looked so much more polished than the originals and didn't sit together.
Maybe one day I'll force myself to sit through them all and form a proper opinion, but even that isn't straightforward with George Lucas's cackhanded storytelling. There seems to be so many differing opinions on the best order to view them. Not sure if I can sit through Jar jar binks and Ewoks mind you.
But yeah, other than Star Wars I absolutely love Sci Fi

At the risk of no-true-scotsmanning myself, I've always seen sci-fi as needing to have actual (or made up) science be pivotal to the story, rather than just having spaceships. So Greg Egan is sci-fi, but Star Trek/Wars less so.

The definition of Sci-Fi is that if you removed the "Sci" bit then it couldn't be the same film so to pluck an example out of the air "The Matrix" is Sci Fi, but Star Wars could easily be a western or a sword and sorcery film with minimal plot changes.
Personally I think the origional trilogy are brilliant (Return of the Jedi less so than the others), the second trilogy are utter shit and I'd recommend people not bother watching them if they haven't already.
Of the two new ones The Force Awakens is an entertaining film, but almost a Star Wars remake, while Rogue One is a really great film, but quite different from the others (no Jedi, much darker in tone).
If the prequels have to be watched then the Machete Order should be used, particularly if the viewer hasn't seen them before. That way the Vader reveal doesn't get ruined and the Phantom Menace can be left out completely.

We tried to sit and watch all the films in order before the new one came out and had to turn it off.
But I did rewatch them recently, and I was shocked at how wooden Ewan McGregor is in those films.
I said maybe.....
Darth Maul? (Way cooler than Vader)
I'll give you jaja though
