#1. The Empire Strikes Back- An even more perfect movie.



#2. A New Hope- A perfect movie.



#3. Return of the Jedi- Yes, the antics on Endor are childish but the rest of the movie is amazing. Perfect opening with a darker Luke on Jabba's sail barge and has a strong ending to wrap up the original trilogy.



#4. The Force Awakens- Has all the feels and excitement of a Star Wars movie while essentially being a gender-swapped A New Hope. 



#5. Revenge of the Sith- This is the one with all the action but its third act is borderline terrible with a goofy Yoda/Palpatine fight scene and Anakin force choking his pregnant wife. 



#6. Rogue One- It's okay, checks the boxes for a Star Wars movie but has cardboard characters (I couldn't remember anyone's name) and nothing really to say or add. 



#7. The Last Jedi- I hate this movie. It has so many WTF moments not to mention a 40 minute pointless side quest to Canto Bight. I would rank it lower if I could.



#8. The Phantom Menace- Usually dead last on EVERY Star Wars list. I get it, Jar Jar Binks and the sheer boredom of the 1st hour but it does have its redeemable qualities like the Podrace scene and the Darth Maul fight. 



#9. Rise of Skywalker- A soulless experience. The world would be a better place if this hadn't been made. It's a movie basically about nothing- things happen, the end. I get that they were written into a corner after the Last Jedi but the return of the Emperor is such a huge FU to the Star Wars Saga, literally any villain would have been a better choice (it should have been Kylo Ren). 



#10. Attack of the Clones- The Phantom Menace was the most disappointing but this movie is the real stinker of the Star Wars franchise. God awful CGI and even worse dialogue. Terrible romance story and everything else is forgetable. There's hardly any story, just padding for two hours-it's like getting a lobotomy. 



#11. Solo- The worst of the worst, such a disservice to a great character. Aside from its throway storyline, Solo's greatest crime is that it is so ugly to look at. Attack of the Clones at least had some visual eye candy, this is garbage. There is zero rewatchability and ofcourse there is the Chewbacca shower scene.

man, remember the 3 minute long theatrical trailer for revenge of the sith? they basically spoiled the whole movie, yet it was the only good movie out of the prequels. also when phantom menace first released my parents bought me a talking jar-jar binks alarm clock, that thing was almost as bad as furby.

@Magic- updated!



@Ben- I saw the first couple seasons of Clone Wars and really enjoyed it. I've heard good things about the latter seasons as well.

Gotta say... my feelings on some of these are quite different. I would place the 3 prequels at the bottom to start with, as I dislike them all. Solo and Rogue One we're both good films, though Solo feels wholly unnecessary. So those would be moved up on my list. Finally I would definitely place Rise of Skywalker above Last Jedi.

I just read a list online that placed The Last Jedi at #2 and Empire Strikes Back at #3! How on Earth??!!!

I know this probably sounds unrelated, but how would you rank the video games?

Because Ben brought it up, I decided to look into getting Genndy Tartakovsky's series on DVD because I was a huge fan of it when it first came out.



Those DVD's are going for $50 to over $100 on eBay. I'm saying no to that until I one day hit the lottery.
