[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7530464, member: 6803664"] From BEST to WORST: 1) Star Wars (A New Hope) This is the self contained story that lit the fuse. It gives you everything you need to enjoy the story, hints at setting details that spark the imagination, & alters movie F/X and changes the toy industries forever. And you're right, it was [I]amazing[/I] to see it on the big screen at the time. 2) The Empire Strikes Back One of the few movie sequels to ever be as good or better than the original. While it's my favorite of all the SW movies, I have to rank it 2nd because the original had already blown me away a few years earlier. This one is just more of an already great thing. It's a little weaker than New Hope because it doesn't stand completely alone at the beginning & at the end you definitely know that there'll be a 3rd movie. 3) Return of the Jedi Ewok silliness aside, it's pretty good. And it wraps up the story being told. 4a) Roughly the 1st 1/2 of The Force Awakens. It has all that excitement that New Hope had in that new characters & stuff get introduced & you're eager to see how it develops.... And then:( 4) Rogue One Overall pretty good. While I liked the characters & cast I didn't care about any of them because you know they won't matter once the credits role. Still a good movie though. 5) Episode I: The Phantom Menace Overall I liked this one. Yes, in spite of everything Lucas did to try & make me not: midochlorians?? Qui-Con Jinn's multiple examples of stupidity, making Anikan a 10 year old. And that crap at least provides me the endless fun of mocking it.... Jar Jar - the only thing I have against Jar Jar is that the shear un-sold glut of his action figure screwed up my stores inventory/future shipments of SW figures for a 2 years+ because of how SKUs were assigned/worked in our system at the time. The system would read that we still had xxxx # of basic SW figures. So unless we dropped below x, no further cases would be sent. 5 & 6) Fighting for 5th & 6th place are two contenders; EPII:The Clone Wars & EPIII: Revenge of the Sith. I think I like Clone Wars [I]slightly[/I] more than Sith, but they've both got enough poo in them to make this an exercise in hair splitting.... 7) Solo This is a bunch of crap. It starts with the guy they tapped to play Solo. It then proceeds to cram virtually everything about Solo prior to the original SW movie into 1 adventure. And since it's the droid/computer that's responsible for actually making the impossible Kessel Run it even takes that away from Han. Fortunately this entry into the series doesn't have any impact on things. Wether or not you ever see it means exactly nothing. Unless you count the lost $ you doled out for your ticket. 8) The second 1/2 of The Force Awakens. ....and then it turns into some self-parodying clone of the original movie. Is Abrahms trolling us? 9) The Star Wars Holiday Special (TV) This very very bad. We journey home with Chewbacca to celebrate "Life Day " with his son Lumpy. And Bea Arthur sings. But even this isn't the worst live-action SW has to offer us. Oh no, for that you get: 10) Episode VIII: The Last Jedi This is so bad in every way that it makes me not want to see Episode IX.
