STAR WARS Movies Ranked

Still Like the Celtics better wrote:

A New Hope

Empire Strikes Back

Rogue One

then a big gap to Revenge of the Sith

.... The Rest are Crap

I've always had a theory. If you were a kid when A New Hope was released, saw it in the theater and lived through the hype, that is most likely your favorite of the Star Wars movies. If you were born later, after the first trilogy was released, you tend to like Empire better. Empire is probably a better movie, but seeing a New Hope for the first time... there was nothing compared to that experience (although waiting for the release of Empire was fun, too).

BTW - Empire absolutely should have been nominated for Best Picture. With the exception of Raging Bull and maybe Ordinary People, it deserved a nod over any of the others (Tess? Coal Miner's Daughter? Really?)

After you nerds are finishing ranking the Star Wars movies, please rank the Star Trek movies.

The best was Rogue One. Almost no Jedi magic and most everybody of consequence dies.

100% by a mile

II Wrath of Khan (miles ahead)

VI The Undiscovered Country

then several miles later - the rest are all about the same, although Star Trek V was an unintentionally hilarious disaster, and Generations was stupid.

don't disagree with your view of the massive impact of seeing ANH fresh.

but

do NOT diss 1980 Nastassja Kinski.

Wrecks your credibility. Just sayin.

I'll give you that. I admit, sometimes I have trouble separating art from the artist, and Roman Polanski is a turd. If he had made Empire Strikes Back, I'd probably be on here arguing it sucked.

The Mandalorian.

Empire Strikes Back is the only one I'd want to watch again.

2 - SOLO (Darth Maul scene also young HAN)

3 - Rouge One (Everyone is cool and also dies. great ending)

4 - Attack of the Clones (Yoda do backflip)

5 - Force Awakens (Fun, return to the franchise. lived up to the hype, mostly.)

6 - Empire Strikes Back (Cloud City also Lando confirms existence of POC in SW)

7 - Phantom Menace (now THIS is podracing!)

8 - A New Hope (Luke used to bullseye womp rats in his T-16)

9 - Return of the Jedi (Jabba and slave leia what more can I say)

10 - The Rise of Skywalker (Haven't watched it a second time)

11 - The Last Jedi (very disappointing. walked out of the theatre disappointed, ended up not seeing Rise of Skywalker while it was in theatres because I figured it'd be just as bad. I was so disappointed.)

I really liked all 6 of these movies

1. Episode 8

2. Episode 3

3. Episode 6

5. Episode 4

6. Episode 5

Meh

7. Episode 2

I've been a huge lifelong Star Wars fan (growing up with the original trilogy) but my interest has waned to the point where I haven't seen the final movie (whatever it's called) and I don't really care.

Which was the one in the latest trilogy where they had to destroy a Death Star rip-off, using stolen plans to find a hidden weakness? Sheez, that pretty much killed off any of my lingering interest.

Then you're gonna hate that last one when you finally watch it. Now every single ship has Death Star capabilities.

Did you watch it in chronological order? Not know Anakin was going to turn to the dark side and become Vader? Only way I can think someone would have ROS at number 1.

I've never seen a star wars film!

1-empire

2-new hope

3-RotJ

4-Revenge of the Sith

5-Phantom Menace

6-Attack of the clones

7-clone wars animated

8-TFA

9-tie between TLJ and RoS

The original trilogy is def 1-3. I've always been a fan of the prequels amd felt they were very underrated, the clone wars tv show and movie only elevates it.

The new trilogy is total trash, the first one was nothing but fan service and the other 2 traded off erasing things they didnt like from the last one. say whatever you want about the originals and prequels but they had a complete, coherent story throughout.

Say a couple posts mentioning the anthology stories but I only went with the Skywalker centered ones because George Lucas even said SW is a space opera about the Skywalker family...And those that dont like the Jedi and the force, go watch star trek because those are what set starwars apart from other sci-fi universes and are by far the coolest and best parts about SW. I need a series about the Force weilders and more about the origins of the profecy of the chosen one.

1.) Empire Strikes Back

2.) A New Hope

3.) The Rise of Skywalker

4.) Return of the Jedi

5.) Solo

6.) The Last Jedi

7.) The Force Awakens

8.) Revenge of the Sith

9.) Rogue One

10.) The Battle of Endor

11.) The Ewok Adventure

12.) Phantom Menace

13.) Attack of the Clones

I was a teenager when the very first Star Wars movie debuted in theaters. At the risk of sounding like a cliche, you had to be there to understand it's significance. A vote for any other episode tells me that you did not share that experience.

Clones & Rebels are must watch too if you're a Star Wars fan. Now's a good time to binge those.

+1

Clone Wars and Rebels are both far superior to anything in the prequel trilogy or the most recent trilogy. Especially the last 4 episodes of Clone Wars Season 7, which overlaps in time with Revenge of the Sith and adds so much to the overall story. Heck, if those last 4 Clones Wars episodes were their own movie, it would rank up there with A New Hope and Empire.

NA- The Rise of Skywalker

The Last Jedi was so bad, I have YET to see the last one despite having Disney+.

I enjoyed Rogue One. I turned on Solo but didn't get very far; it didn't seem bad but I wasn't SUPER interested. I'd like to go back and finish it.

I suppose eventually I should try to sit down and watch ROS....but, I dunno. I'd totally go for it if MST3K did something for it.

and if anyone puts A New Hope anywhere but first or second.., you aren't worth listening to on any subject of importance.

Objective fact.

Letsrun is really showing it’s old, old age in this thread
