How do you rank the Star Wars films? [SPOILERS!]

1. Empire
2. Star Wars

That's all for me. I guess Rogue One was halfway decent. But I'm done with Star Wars at this point, no mo'. The prequels sucked hairy ballz and the new ones have no soul.

 

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars
3. Force Awakens
4. Rogue One
5. Last Jedi
6. Return of the Jedi
7. Attack of the Clones
8. Revenge of the Sith

I'm not even going to mention Phantom menace. I am a devout practitioner of the Machete Order of watching the SW saga so hopefully I will never have to sit trough Phantom Menace (or George's Folly as we like to call it) ever again!

Haven't seen Solo yet but I'm pretty confident I will like it.

 

Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Return Of The Jedi
The Force Awakens
Rogue One
Solo
The Last Jedi
The Phantom Menace
Revenge Of The Sith
Attack Of The Clones

 

The entire saga runs the entire gamut from so-so to ordinary.

 

I just saw Solo and thought it was a fine movie. Deserved better, too bad it was released so soon after the last one. Disney shoot themselves in the foot. My updated ranking:

1. Empire
2. Return of the Jedi
3. A new hope
4. Rogue one
5. Solo
6. The Force Awakens
7. The Last Jedi
8. Revenge of the sith
9. Attack of the clones
10. The phantom menace

 

My ranking (have not seen Solo yet):

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars
3. Revenge of The Sith
4. Return Of The Jedi
5. Rogue One
6. Attack of The Clones
7. The Force Awakens
8. The Last Jedi
9. The Phantom Menace

 

1. Empire
2. Star Wars
3. Return of the Jedi

I've used the force to successfully block out the rest

 

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

 

Current ranking:

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

 

The 1st one was great. Over-over-overrated 'Empire' struck me as a long merchadise-infused trailer for the 3rd episode which was unaccountably dull. That was it for me.

 

Star Wars fans are a bit divided at the moment, but one thing that most of us seem to agree on is that A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back belong in the top two spots. So let's all get together, hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

 

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

 

I can only rate the original 3 movies as I have only seen them.... (And only want to see them)

I rate all 3 10+

I havent seen the 2 after the 3rd one or the pre-quels so I cant really rate them.....

 

Oh, too hard to choose!

I will say this, though. Someone on Twitter posted the following list, with no comment, and people went nuts:

 

Driving people nuts may have been the point. Then again, there are many younger people who were introduced to the saga via the prequels and love them. The majority, but not all, of the prequels’ critics are older fans who expected something akin to the original trilogy they were raised on.

 

1. The Phantom Menace
2. Attack of the Clones
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. Solo
5. Rogue One
6. Star Wars
7. The Empire Strikes Back
8. Return of the Jedi
9. The Force Awakens
10. The Last Jedi

These are in Star Wars universe chronological order, correct? I don't think these were a ranking of the movies. At least I hope not.

 

Yeah, but how many people do you think missed that before leaving a grumpy, angry, or raging comment?

 

Star Wars



01 The Empire Strikes Back

02 The Last Jedi

03 The Force Awakens

04 A New Hope

05 Rogue One

06 Revenge Of The Sith

07 Return Of The Jedi

08 Solo

09 Attack Of The Clones

10The Phantom Menace

 

The loyalty this franchise receives baffles me. The spirit and charm of the originals has long gone.

 

My only ranking:

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. Return of the Jedi
3. Star Wars

...the rest of them.

 

Nostalgia, people want it to be good because they remember it from their childhood. Ef Star Wars that's how over it I am.

 

Yep, I agree. When I went to see the one that introduced Rey I expected a modernized sophisticated version of the Star Wars universe, with darker mythic elements and poetry of story and so on, and what I sat through was hack work made by people who don't give a damn. The way the original heros were given empty pathetic afterthought roles was offensive and I do not even care that much about these movies. People are going to see the movies regardless, so why not make something epic?

 

While I generally rate the individual movies in the series, overall, as either awesome, OK, or abysmal, if I had to assign a rating (and some of the ratings would change over time):

Awesome:
1. Star Wars (nothing can/will ever match the excitement of seeing this in it's original run in 1977)
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. Rogue One

OK:
4. Revenge of the Sith
5. Return of the Jedi (would love to rate this one higher but the Ewoks really pull it down overall)
6. Solo
7. The Phantom Menace
8. Attack of the Clones

Abysmal (not even merely 'just bad'):
9. The Force Awakens
10. The Last Jedi (that they could make a movie even worse then The Force Awakens is...mind blowing)

 

The only film I would assign to the abysmal category is Solo.

 

This ^^^^^. I was looking forward to a new, modern series with high expectations as well. I thought they would add mind-blowing mythos, stories, characters, and intense, spectacular action sequences that would all compliment each other, as well as clever, well thought out lore and depth to advance the series to new heights....similar to how I felt Nolan's take on "Batman" was an awesome, modern take on that series.

Or, an even better example, Jackson's Lord Of The Rings trilogy which I hold up as a prime example of how to do a magical, mythic movie series absolutely right.

Instead we got a warmed over "New Hope" (without any of the depth and charm of it) and beloved characters completely misunderstood. Actually, the new current crop running Lucasfilm seems to not understand anything that made the series as loved as it is.
