Ranking the Star Wars Movies

I don't get all the hate for RoTJ.

For me, Ewoks. They wrecked my suspension of disbelief.

I was an ewok for Halloween when I was 6 so I'm not saying anything

I’d take Indiana Jones over them. Toy Story too. LOTR is right there for me. Hell, even Nolan’s Batman’s. But then, I’m no SW lover. They’re fine, but never awestruck me as a kid.

I love the Indiana Jones movies. But I don’t think they are as good, but they were pretty huge.

Nolan is one of my favorite directors but only The Dark Knight was on a truly classic level.

Fingers crossed as the teaser looks good....



Which desert world is this? Tatooine, Jakku, Jedha? As XI was filed in Jordan, where Rouge was was filmed (Tatooine was in Tunsia and Jakku was Abu Dhabi) and as the rumor is that Ray & Co. is after some mporant Jedi artifacts, my bet is on Jedha.

Lando!?

The ship behind the A Wing that is on fire looks to have the tower of a Imperial Class Star Destroyer built into the body of an Old Republic Venator Class Star Destroyer with the markings of the Rebel Alliance.

In the last scene, is that Yavin and DS 1 or Endor and DS2 and what role does good old Palpatine is playing? I am split on location as Leia has the old awards medal from the Battle of Yavin in her hand (is this where she dies?); but, Paps 'died' above Endor on the DS 2.

Which Skywalker is rising? Luke returns, Anakin returns, Ben/Kylo redeems himself, Rey turns out to be a Skywalker or is Skywalker the name that Rey gives to her new Jedi order?

The Final Ranking:

1) V: Empire Strikes Back
2) VIII: Last Jedi
3) Solo
4) IV: New Hope
5) VII: Force Awakens
6) Rogue One
7) IX: The Rise of Skywalker
8) III: Revenge of the Sith
9) II: Attack of the Clones
10) VI: Return of the Jedi
11) I: Phantom Menace

I moved Solo up. I like it the more I think about it. I would put #3 through #8 on my list pretty close to each other.

It is not my money, but I hope Disney makes more origin story Star Wars movies like Solo and Rogue One.

They need to get out of those eras imo. Been banging on about doing Old Republic movies for ages. I think those would be sweet. Jedi origin stories would be cool too.

I still don't know why Return of the Jedi gets no love amongst Star Wars fans. Thought it was great. Introduced so many cool things and characters (Jabbas world, speeder bikes, etc).

I wouldn't have a problem with that.

V: The Empire Strikes Back
IV: A New Hope
Solo​

VI: The Return of the Jedi

Rogue One
VIII: The Last Jedi
VII: The Force Awakens
I: The Phantom Menace
III: Revenge of the Sith
II: Attack of the Clones

This is the correct order. ROJ has Ewoks or it would be third. Solo and Rogue One are better than any of the prequels (natch) or the new sequels because TFA is a remake of A New Hope. Not as bad the remakes of Rollerball, Conan the Barbarian or Dirty Dancing but bad. TLJ was at least an original story though it was packed with unnecessary nostalgia for the old cast. Harrison Ford made the right call in bowing out after TFA. Instead of Leia floating in space and the OJ chase of space battles they could have had more Luke but the main weakness is Kylo trying hard not to become the next Jar Jar/Anakin and failing. You don't build a film franchise around an emo Darth Vader wannabe. Deadpool didn't feature Negasonic Teenage Warhead as anything but comic relief. They are the same character.

As for the prequels, yeah they're bad but I'll take a miscast 8 year old (he should have been a teenager into petty crime like Solo) and the Trade Federation (worst antagonists in movie history) over the unbelievable romance between Anakin and Padme (also Hayden Christensen).

Solo and Rouge One get high marks for original stories. Solo >>> Rogue one based on the fact that I can remember the names of many of the RO characters.​

ROS just above Rogue One.
