Discussion Rank The Star Wars Movies

[Valiens Nantaris]

Since it's been a long time since we've done this...probably not since the Sequels came out, let's see what people think!

Rank the 11 (or 12 if you count the Clone Wars 'movie') movies from best to worst. No justification needed, just make your list.

For me, mine has undergone a bit of a revision over the years but I think I'm happy with this list.

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. Rogue One
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. Return of the Jedi
5. The Force Awakens
6. A New Hope
7. Solo
8. Attack of the Clones
9. The Phantom Menace
10. The Rise of Skywalker
11. The Last Jedi
12. The Clone Wars 'movie'

Agree? Disagree? Post your opinion here!

1. Revenge of the Sith. Mustafar was where boys became men. This is the film of my childhood and I watch it every year.
2. Rogue One. Unironcally some of the best Star Wars period. They made so many brand new ship models for this film it's sort of insane.
3. Return of the Jedi. I like it over Empire cause it has way more wacky alien puppets.
4. Empire strikes back. Lando. That is all.
5. Attack of the Clones. First Star Wars movie I ever saw, so hard carried by nostalgia. Also love when the clones attack.
6. A New Hope. Put the OG here. It's fun, but I think lacks some of the refinement of the universe that it's sequels get.
7. Force Awakens. Unironically good. Mixed on what follows, but it got me invested in the new cast.
8. Solo. It's fun. I like some concepts. I feel nothing. Lando carries.
9. Phantom Menace. Love the prequels. This one is a slog first half. Darth Maul carries. I do still love this movie.
10. Last Jedi. I hate and love this film. Some stuff really hits and other stuff really doesn't. Mid and irrelevant, they retconned everything. Makes it worse after everything is said and done.
11. The Clone Wars movie being included lmao. Honestly it sucks, which is a shame the show is pretty baller.
12. Rise of Skywalker. Yeah, this is my least favorite. "Apathy is Death" and all that. It's just okay, and I feel like feeling absolutely nothing about a movie is worse than hatred so here it is.

I'll emphasis this with the fact that I can't remember the last time I've seen the Original Trilogy and I've watched the Prequels recently with family. Also not seen Rise of Skywalker or Last Jedi

 

[Darth Nefaron]

1. Return of the Jedi
2. Revenge of the Sith
3. Empire Strikes Back
4. Rogue One
5. Phantom Menace
6. A New Hope
7. Attack of the Clones
8. Solo
9. Rise of Skywalker
10. Clone Wars Movie
11. Last Jedi
12. Force Awakens

That's right, Return of the Jedi is my favorite. Luke and Vaders final duel gets me emotional every time.

Rise of Skywalker actually was my favorite of the Sequals, sue me but Papa Palps is at his best and the Final Order visually looks awesome.

Force Awakens is at the bottom, everything it does well A New Hope does better. Kylo Ren was a good character, I'll die on that hill.

 

[Darth Imperius]

1. Rogue One
2. Revenge of the Sith
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Empire Strikes Back
5. The Phantom Menace
6. Attack of the Clones
7. A New Hope
8. The Force Awakens
9. The Clone Wars
10. The Rise of Skywalker
11. The Last Jedi

I wanna throw in as honorable mention and strong contender for the top of the list: SWTOR cinematics. They are gorgeous and exactly the kind of Star Wars we need more of.

[Darth Terraxia]

Kylo Ren was a good character, I'll die on that hill.

The Reylo arc in the Sequel Trilogy was done pretty well. I think Rey's fears of being alone and Kylo being afraid of going back to his family are excellent parallels. Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley's chemistry holds the ST together and they provide all the best scenes.

Also why I changed teams/factions (before I went LOA for the 73287th time)

Because evidently I have nothing better to do with 20 minutes of my life, here's a graph from the 17 rankings (guest user not included) so far and their averages!




Few surprises here, though I am unsurprised to see the latest two movies dead last.
