What are the best Star Wars movies?

By Kyle Ren, in X-Wing Off-Topic

I didn't actually see a thread like this, so I thought it would be fun to see what everyone's top 10 list of favorite Star Wars movies are!

For conciseness, all of Clone Wars and all of Rebels each count as a movie, so the list of (well-known) movies are

A New Hope

The Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

The Phantom Menace

Attack of the Clones

Revenge of the Sith

Clone Wars

Rebels

The Force Awakens

Rogue One

If you must, you can kick stuff off of this list to add the Christmas Special, the old Clone Wars show, or some other unusual and obscure movie/TV series.

Edited by Kieransi

To start it off, here's mine:

1.) The Empire Strikes Back

2.) A New Hope

3.) Return of the Jedi

4.) Rogue One

5.) Rebels

6.) The Phantom Menace

7.) The Force Awakens

8.) Clone Wars

9.) Revenge of the Sith

10.) Attack of the Clones

In order of my preference

ANH

ESB

R1

TFA

ROTJ

RBLS

TCW

ROS

AOC

TPM

The best Star Wars is the one I'm watching.

It's way too hard for me to compare a multi season tv show to a live action movie, so me putting the two shows last doesn't mean I think they belong there necessarily, just not sure where else to place them.

ROTS

ROTJ

RO

TPM

TESB

AOTC

ANH

2. A New Hope

Caravan of Courage.


Prove. Me. Wrong.

1 - The Empire Strikes Back

2 - A New Hope

3 - Return Of The Jedi

4 - Rogue One

5 - The Force Awakens

6 - Revenge Of The Sith

7 - Attack Of The Clones

8 - The Phantom Menace

9 - Christmas Special

I am trying desperately to understand the ranking of ROS higher than ANH. This just doesn't compute.

That makes perfect sense to me as I'm one of them.

What doesn't make sense to me is someone ranking ANYTHING star wars worse than the holiday special.

Watching that from start to finish is possibly the worst thing I've ever seen, star wars or otherwise.

The Empire Strikes Back

I'd agree with "whichever one I'm watching".

The original trilogy and Rogue One are probably my favourites, but (Christmas special aside :ph34r:) I like all of them. Heck, even the Christmas special introduced Boba Fett for the first time....

It's called catch & release.

(I am happily married now, but once upon a time...)

The Search for Spock of course.
