1) Empire Strikes Back
2) ANH
3) ROTJ

4) ROTS
5) Rogue One
6) Solo
7) AOTC
8) Rise of Skywalker
9) The Force Awakens
10) The Phantom Menace

11) The Last Jedi

I personally like well-executed lightsaber fights and high stakes conflicts, Rise of Skywalker has more of that than Force Awakens, and the "fight" from TFA did nothing for me, even though the first half of the film is a lot of fun. Also people may not agree but I liked the progression of Kylo Ren/Ben Solo in IX and the 10 minutes we saw of Ben Solo was highly enjoyable for me. His mannerisms were different as well as his fighting style after he turned and it was maybe the coolest thing to me about the whole trilogy.

The Last Jedi had the best lightsaber action of the three sequels, which speaks to how terrible it was, as it still lands below the other two.

Rogue One is solid and highly watchable, albeit not as thrilling as the originals at any point outside of the last 5 minutes. I liked Solo quite a bit for what it was and the creative room they had to work with and thought it had the best cast outside the first six saga films.

The Mandalorian would be firmly up with the originals. It checks all the same boxes, with similar moments of emotional payoff.

My list would look really different if we added Clone Wars, Rebels and the Mandalorian in to be honest.

Well I know my list isn't popular, but for me the Star Wars universe is just barely above .500

Pass
ANH
RO
ESB
TLJ
RoTJ
TFA

fail
TPM
Solo
AoTC
RoSw
RotS

I honestly have no time at all for the Rise of Skywalker, the prequels or Solo.

Top tier:

Empire
New Hope
ROTJ
Rogue One
Mandalorian

Decent, but not great:

Force Awakens
Solo
Rise of Skywalker
Last Jedi
Revenge of the Sith

Horrendous pieces of crap that should be forever buried and never spoken of again:

Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones

Alright I'm here to make my list having only seen one list so far..

1. Empire (just can't be beat, in any genre)
2. ANH
3. Mandalorian
4. Rogue One
5. ROTJ
6. Season 7 Clone Wars (separating this out because it was clearly on another level)
7. Rebels
8. Attack of the Clones
9. Clone Wars (the rest)
10. Revenge of the Sith
11. Solo
12. Phantom Menace
13. The Force Awakens
14. Rise of Skywalker
15. Christmas Special
16. used toilet paper
17. The Last Jedi

When I first saw TFA I was so hopeful. It was like ok that was a safe reboot but I'll take it, entertaining, got to see some old characters. Good. Now you have to prove yourselves. And they failed miserably so ya I can't help it, it jades my view on the movie.

Ahh I see a lot of disagreement with my AOTC pick. I am a bit influenced by my love of wargames, specifically Star Wars Legion. To me Attack of the Clones and the battle of Geonosis was such a great war gamers scene. Watching the LAAT's land full of troopers (which just leaked for Legion!!) led into battle by Jedi, I just thought it was so cool how it all came together. It is what inspired me to make my own Geonosis table for SWL, spoilered for size, so it has a special place in my heart.

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


The Last Jedi does not exist, but if it did exist, I know I would think it was a giant piece of trash that was a disservice to not only Star Wars, but storytelling and filmmaking as a whole.

I'm surprised at the level of hate for Solo. Was it great? No. Was it an unmitigated disaster like some of these films have been? Also no. I'd put it somewhere close to Force Awakens, and ahead of the prequels.

Admittedly, it's partly bias. Solo came on the heels of TLJ. Both Solo and the TLJ both had initial great reviews, which really pissed a lot of people off, as the TLJ was crap and Solo was mediocre. Solo was part of Disney's plan to churn out a bunch of crap every 6 months, but they seem to have corrected course.

There was also some bad timing with having the Mad Queen as your love interest.

I wouldn't actually mind rewatching Solo now that my nerd rage towards TLJ has cooled a bit. However, there were still a bunch of stuff that irked me about it.

These Star Wars threads are always funny. It always devolves into multiple listings of the movies posters like and in what order.

I agree on Solo, It maybe came too quickly on the heels of TFA which wasn't bad, but wasn't the event it was meant to be. And I think Rogue One which in my mind was awesome.

There were parts of Solo that were awkward and stilting and even clumsy. But overall I did end up liking it a lot more when I watched it a second time. Its to the point that if it comes on TV I'll watch it. I mean in terms of rankings and the Disney Plus theory

Movies and Shows that I will make a point to watch again on streaming on DVD

ESB, ANH, ROTH, ROTS, Clone Wars, Rebels. Rogue One

If they come on TV I'll watch it
TFA, PM, AOTC (The last two mainly because of Palpatine and Ewan), Solo

Hit my quota, I'm good

TLJ, ROS, Resistance.

Solo is destined to be the most forgotten piece of media in Star Wars history. It's not good enough to be remembered, and it's not bad enough for hatred to give it some notoriety. It also doesn't fit into any kind of watch list as it doesn't add anything to the primary movies

Whenever I hear the sentence "Attack of the Clones" I get weird PTSD of that noise the Lizard Creature Obi Wan rides on makes. That and the coughing noise that Grievous made.

Even the name of that movie was awful. Right up there with "Billy and the Cloneasaurus".

Solo just drags at the end, and the whole thing is just a setup to create a scenario where Han shoots first.
