Rank the Star Wars Films (Skywalker Saga)

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

For me the last two could easily swap places. I was a right fan boy back when the “prequels” were released I went above and beyond to defend them in my wiser age I can see they are garbage although I still maintain that Revenge of the Sith isn’t too bad.

I would rank Rogue One in 3rd or 4th place if including that. It’s on par with ROTJ at very least 🤔

Thoughts and feelings on this?

1 - Phantom menace
2 - Empire Strikes back
3 - Attack of the clones
4 - Revenge of the sith
5 - Return of the jedi
6 - A new hope
7 - Force awakens
8 - rise of skywalker
9 - the last jedi

this is how i'd rate em. i know a new hope seems so low but i still love it. it's just from that 1st movie i think they improved over time and built up on it.
i didn't like the sequel trilogy compared to the other 2. never like rey and was more invested in the side characters and kylo ren. and i felt really sad for luke's characterization.

tbh i think the best star wars stories are the ones outside of the skywalker saga. and outside of movies and tv all together. KOTOR 1&2 have my fave stories (still working through the mmo stories) kotor1 is an analysis on the universes lore and mythos and kotor2 is a deconstruction of it that changes your outlook on the franchise. Fallen order is more recent and i loved every minute of it's plot. rogue one is my fave movie because it takes a step away from the space samurai wizards to tell a more down to earth story.

Oh wow I’ve never seen TPM at the top of any ones Star Wars lists before. I guess it’s all down to personal preference. Loved Darth Maul although under used. I’m due a rewatch of the saga and have never done 1-9 it’s always been 1-6 but in different orders I used the Machete order for a rewatch with my son a few years back. I think I’ll do the rewatch in chronological order. @bugeye

@Caraxes 1,2,and 3 or so close together any one of them could top it but TPM holds that lil bit of extra nostalgia since when i 1st saw it i was blown away by the jump in quality compared to the original trilogy.
Caraxes · 41-45, M
@bugeye do you mean the jump in visual effects or storyline?
bugeye · 26-30, F
@Caraxes bit of both really. the effects set and choreography improved. and at the time i has hyped for darth vaders origin story.
Caraxes · 41-45, M
@bugeye fair play. I just don’t see how the story comes close in quality I really think they dropped the ball with episodes 1-3 and for that matter 8 and 9. That being said they all brought enjoyment in one form or another to me and my family 😊

@Caraxes the prequel trilogy overall i agree with but in a vacuum having not seen the rest of it i loved TPM. i still think the games, tv series and side moves have better stories though.
