I like all the Star Wars movies. Most, if not all, of the printed canon material are based on the movies. The original movies came first and formed the foundation of the (role-playing) source books and reference material.
I can stomach that better than say, Tolkien lore where the books came first and then got butchered by the movies.
Edit:
The newer material like Rogue One are very similar to those undertaken by lesser known Rebel Alliance characters. I mean, Han Solo wasn't the only smuggler in town. There were others like him all over the Star Wars universe. The movie could have used a better cinematographer. But, it fits right in like a correct piece of the puzzle.
The Force Awakens is a bit more of a question mark because of the gap between it and Return of the Jedi. I stopped keeping track after Admiral Thrawn and Mara Jade were introduced in a book. I'm not sure where The Force Awakens fits in even though it was an entertaining movie. It's still Star Wars, after all.
