I guess I have finally made up my mind.
- Star Wars
- Empire
- The Last Jedi
- The Force Awakens
- Return of the Jedi
- Rogue One
- TPM
- AOTC
- ROTS
Flip the ST movies and this is exactly my list. I think TLJ is probably the better/greater/more accomplished film, but I’ve got TFA above it for the purely sentimental reason that I don’t think I’ll ever have a more joyous theater experience than TFA on opening night. It gives me the warm-and-fuzzies like nothing else outside of the first two films.
EDIT: Sir Ridley gets it too.
