Rank The Star Wars Films
 

I challenge the impossible to all die-hard fans, casuals, or like me somewhere in between. I ask you to do the impossible. It can change over time especially with VIII and IX still to come. Here is my current rank.

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

1,2, 6, and 7 will likely remain as it is even with two more entries yet to come. I feel that Sith is underrated if only for the Plagueis scene and the twin duels at the end. I enjoy the intro to Luke and Han but am displeased with Guinness getting his 'out' as a force ghost and it lacks some of the epicness that follows in the next two films. The still fresh Awakens has me wanting Ren to die not thinking he is an epic bada$$ like his forebearer because the bold move to make him intimating actually does the reverse for me. Still it is well done. Those three can shift. I bet VIII will be better than VII the way it left off.

7- The Phantom Menace- So much wrong with this movie, and so boring at times. Best part was of course duel with Maul at the end.
6-Attack of the Clones- Huge improvement on Phantom Menace, still a lot of fluff and Anikan is just a whiny douche.
5-Revenge of the Sith- Finally witnessing what pushed Anikan to the Darkside. The payoff was ok, it could have been executed better than it was. Hated what they did to Padme though UGH.
4-A New Hope- The best in terms of a self contained story, a lot of character development and the character interactions are fantastic. Luke goes from some lame ass kid to the rebels' hero. Leia was a badass through and through.
3-The Force Awakens- A lot of new and different characters introduced to the mythos with their own great motivations and flaws. Ren is so torn and angsty and it works, as he should be. This is how Anikan should have been done with his inner conflict, not just flip a switch and join the darkside. Seeing Luke, Leia and Han Solo again was nice. Really good way to get back into the universe. The first Order Stormtroopers actually have good aim :o.
2-Empire Strikes Back-Lots of great character development and growth in this one. Vader is such a badass and the reveal of Luke and Leia's father is still great to this day. It was a ballsy move to end the movie with the bad guys winning.
1-Return of the Jedi- Luke becomes a Jedi and along with his allies they destroy the Empire and Vader sacrifices himself to save his son. Great ending to a great trilogy.

It's been ages and I have not seen every single one of them, mind you:

A New Hope
Empire Strikes back
Return of the Jedi



The Phantom Menace


Attack of the Clones


TPM and especially AotC were awful. Couldn't even bring myself to finish the latter. And I had rented it from the video store, so I should have made such an effort to make my money worth spending. After that, the franchise died to me. Not that I was ever crazy about it, anyway.

Has anyone seen the prequel Anti-cheese edits on YouTube? I haven't watched them all, but I did watch the Battle of Geonosis and it was amazing to enjoy without all that Threepio bull shat.

I'm surprised by all the Episode VI love. To me, that's where Lucas started slipping. Teddy bears, weaker dialogue, Death Star retread.

I do love the entire Tatooine segment though, Luke was so badass. And that loser Boba Fett meets his fitting demise.

I was surprised at how easily Awakens slotted for me immediately.

Empire

Clones

I feel like Attack of the Clones should be separated into "Adventures of Obi-Wan on Kamino" and "The Remainder of Attack of the Clones" and then that second part should be jettison into the sun.

For me it's kind of hard to separate the original trilogy, I guess I view it as one big movie maybe because I saw them all together as a kid while the rest have been separated by years between each one so the prequels are easy for me to separate though.

1- ANH- Sets everything up and I like the whole thing that this is a normal guy who by accident gets engulfed into an adventure and I love the concept. This is before "he's the last hope" any relation to Darth Vader, he's just a normal guy.
2- RoTJ - It has the final confrontation, and a great beginning in Tatooine and I love the Ewoks, **** the haters.
3-ESB- I don't get the internet's hard-on for this movie, I like it but it doesn't work without the other movies.
4-TPM- The most hated movie is my favorite prequel, while not as good as the originals it has the same sense of adventure ANH has.
5-AoTC- I loved this movie when it came out, I enjoy this movie but what kills it is all the terrible love scenes which none of them work with that terrible dialog.
6-TFA- I don't think it's a bad movie, it has plenty of good scenes but overall it doesn't do enough new for me to be able to rank it any higher. This movie is just kind of there.
7-RotS- I used to dislike this movie but over the years I've grown to like many scenes from the movie. Still the movie has more things I dislike than anything else.
8-TCW- Hey, it's a movie officially so we have to rank it. Four mediocre episodes stitched together. The show had much more to offer than this movie showed. A shame, I think if they had known it would be a movie in theaters they would've done things very differently and it could've been an epic clone wars movie.

If he was my father, I'd immediately sign up for foster care or ship him out.

Still waiting on seeing The Force Awakens but here's how I see it.

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Return of the Jedi
3. New Hope
4. Revenge of the Sith
5. Phantom Menace
6. Attack of the Clones
7. Clone Wars

^It's already out right? What are you waiting for? :D I watched twice, planning a third one.

Anyway, about Jar Jar...


I hope he is indeed
