 Definitive Star Wars ranking

1. Empire strikes back 
2. Revenge of the sith
3. A new hope
4. Return of the Jedi 
5. Rogue one

Everything else is complete shit 
 Any Star Wars with Ewan McGregor is shite 
 You forgot ‘the’ before the last word. 
 You are completely out of your mind. It should be

1. Empire strikes back
2. A new hope
3. Revenge of the sith
4. Return of the Jedi
5. Rogue one  
 Nah, Rouge One is #1 
 Could be true 
 im okay with this 🙋 id rewatch that one

empire is an incomplete movie (but decent)
return of the jedi had ewoks
revenge of the sith 💔😭NOOOOOOOO🤮

prequels are filled mitochrolian nonsense and would all be in the garbage if not for darth maul. A New Hope and Force Awakens might as well be the same movie, and the new movies make no sense.

.... or maybe it does because Star Wars was always a trainwreck when one removes the nostalgia. 
 Except for rouge one. Rouge One is a standalone fantastic movie with real consequences and brave heros.  
 No 
 Rogue One is special. All the goodies die. Not your usual Hollywood ending. 
 💯 
 I’m a little confused as to how a prequel film made it to this list 
 The meme library for RotS and the making of Vader.

 “When you’re having terrible dreams of your wife dying in childbirth”

To your wife: “I’m having terrible dreams… you die in childbirth” 
 The prequels are better than almost everything Disney has produced 
 jar jar agrees with this 
 in all seriousness I don’t fully disagree. the prequels kept up with an overall cohesive mythology 
 I was hoping this day would never come. Goodbye brother. You have obviously went to the Dark Side. 
 There is an argument that if looked at as individual movies R1 would rank higher but trilogy bias is real. 

Also, anyone arguing Empire wasn’t the SW GOAT is just trolling. 
 Also would plug Andor show was worth the watch. Especially if you liked R1. 
 I second this Andor definitely worth a watch if you liked Rogue One  
 WTF?!?!?!

1. A New Hope 
2. Return of the Jedi
3. Rogue One
4. Empire Strikes Back
5. The Force Awakens(following two films are shit)


I should watch Revenge of the Sith again.  A 
 Wow Empire at 4... so low 
 Yeah. I was going to say swap Empire and Jedi - and that list is perfect. 
 The force awakens? lol be serious with your list sir 
 All Star Wars sucks. 
 1. Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope

?. Baby Yoda 🤣 
 NO prequel will ever make it on to the list... Except Mr Plinkett's reviews of them. 
 You gotta get into some fan edits. Phantom menace and attack of the clones are great when re-edited 
 Phantom Edit for the win 
 Such a good movie, one of the best. 
 Attack of the Phantom makes Attack of the Clones into a great Star Wars film. 
 🤝 
 Almost Correct, but would bump rogue one over return of the Jedi  
 Clone Wars the cartoon is the best star wars. Suffer thru the movie and season 1. Thank me after.

I'm not kidding. 
 100% this^

The last season especially is an absolute masterpiece. Last episode gives you goosebumps the entire time 
 A New Hope is better than Revenge of the Sith. And The Last Jedi is #6 for me but yeah 
 The last Jedi is underrated, and people hate it because of group think. It’s one of the most innovative and creative Star Wars movies and Rian Johnson was really trying something different in the middle of a franchise reboot that was chasing money and trend. You can poke holes in any Star Wars movie, but it became cool to poke holes in the Star Wars movies that were deemed okay to poke holes in by the public. The last Jedi isn’t perfect, it does have its objectively bad moments in my opinion, but to say the whole movie is complete shit Is extremely dismissive for some of the cool Star Wars things it gave us like the throne room fight scene. 
 The throne room scene is one of the worst choreographed fights I've ever seen. At one point a guy slows down and misses Rey seemingly on purpose. Flashy, yes. Good, no.  
 Arguably you can analyse any Star Wars fight scene with the right lens, frame by frame if you want to dismantle it 🤷‍♂️ 
 May the Force ₿e with You my Fren https://i.nostr.build/RO40lbTgPyKqbyAN.jpg  
 In no particular order:

- IV
- V
- VI

That is all of the Star Wars movies.

 Rouge one gud

I like when the heroes die and then villans win 
 Rogue One is higher on my list nearly at the top 
 Rogue One is 99% shit. Only good thing about it is the end with Vader. Everything else is completely forgettable and meaningless. 
 Disagree. The top 4 are:

Empire
New Hope
Rogue one
RotJ

I don't care about the rest 
 Drop Revenge of the Sith below Rogue One and that's my list. The real question is, what is the definitive worst ranking? 
 I can't argue, though personally I would flip Empire and A New Hope.  Also, everything that happened after Jar Jar's first appearance is dead to me, so my list is only a list of 3. 
 Exactly! 
 I love all of the Star Wars movies, some more than others but I still love them nonetheless. 
Having said that, the first 30 minutes of Solo definitely tested my resolve. 
 But Revenge of the Sith is the same movie as A New Hope but with different people. You should rethink this. 
 Sorry, was thinking of Force Awakens. Revenge of the Sith was even worse. 
 Rogue one to #3 
 I don’t know about revenge of the sith. The rest makes sense 
 Revenge of the sith is goated 
 Anakin’s story arc is weak. It seems like they just connected the dots in haste in the third movie. The story telling is mediocre. Which is a shame since Vader is such a legendary character 
 Agreed. Theres no real sense of tragedy in Anakin’s descent into darkness because he was a genuinely unlikable character to begin with, except for his early years. 
 Definitely. There is no explanation as to why he became so unlikable in the second movie as well. 
 You show me the use the force Luke scene and he turns off his targeting computer - I will cry in front of you right now I don’t even care who you are. 
 I would add: 

6. Attack of the clones 
 7. The mandolorian series was good too 
 Rogue One ?! 
 I’ve never really understood the hype around Star Wars. To me, it always felt like people just liked it because they were told it was great or because they followed what the media and everyone else said. 
 Nearly 50 years ago, the hype was well deserved compared to the state of the art movie making at the time.  It continues to amaze me how many CGI movies are still being created that look way more fake than a bunch of stop-action models from a half-century ago.  But, I can agree, the story-telling was merely good at best. 
 mmmmm Rouge One ?? 
 "And these are the only 5 star wars movies they ever made. No, there wasn't a new trilogy, I don't know what you're talking about."

lol, I actually completely agree with this list except that I would put Revenge of the Sith as number 4 and move the other two up a notch. I also really liked (or at least was very surprised by) Rogue One though... 🤔  
 Watch Andor the only good star wars TV series done lately 
 1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars (changing the title was dumb)
3. The first half of Return of the Jedi

Everything else is shit

Everything post Disney is super shit
