[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7530509, member: 6704184"] Best to worst. A New Hope. The only truly self contained story. One of the few SW movies I’ll watch on a random Tuesday instead of reading a book. Best space battle ever. I go back and forth between this and Jedi for number 1. Return of the Jedi. Multiple great battles. I like the Ewoks. Time advances and characters have grown in ways that make sense and feel satisfying. The single most important moment in the franchise. (I am a Jedi, like my father before me.) Luke wins by refusing to fight, not bc he is a badass or any such irrelevances, but because he shows mercy, and refuses to give in to fear, anger, or hate, and acts in peace and love, and faith in his father as a person, accepting the inherent risk in doing so. Nothing else in the franchise comes close to this scene. Nothing in Star Wars matters without this scene. Period. The Force Awakens. The characters are immediately engaging, the visuals are on point and evocative, the story is both classic and new, and my few problems with decisions like another Death Star and destroying a star system to up the ante are the only reason this isn’t the second best film. Empire. Second best lightsaber battle of the franchise, great story beats and character moments. Solid film all around, if often overrated. The Last Jedi. I love his movie. It being this low on the list is a testement to how good the others are, not to it being bad. I have quibbles, but it is very close wih TFA and Empire for me. Revenge of The Sith. There is so much good here, and also so much missed opportunity. We don’t care enough about the Jedi we see die. Duuku is boring and a waste of Christopher Lee. In spite of those flaws, it’s an emotionally satisfying movie overall, with a great space battle, and some solid characterization and visuals. Phantom Menace. Honestly if they redid Jar Jar’s VO with something less slapstick and problematic, this is a pretty good movie. Watch it with most Jar Jar moments exited out, and it’s good. Fix that AND the awkward dialogue with Padme and Anakin, and you’ve got a really good film. Attack of the clones. Bleh. There is a good 1 hour movie here, and a really terrible whatever runtime is left from that. Rogue One. The Rebel Alliance doesn’t employ assassins. Period. This movie is, AFAIC, a complete mistake, regardless of its quality as a film. It’s also a gritty war movie where all the protagonists die for little reason. Some good moments, and great characters completely wasted by largely pointless deaths. Also not a single Bothan. [/QUOTE]
