I am sorry to hear you don’t agree with the truth.

I am sorry to hear you have yet to grow out of your delusions, laser brain.

I won’t rank R1 against the saga films, because it’s basically an EU story; not because of the canon/legends, but because of the purpose the story serves. It’s a very good EU story, I think, but ranking it against the saga would be like ranking the Zahn Thrawn Trilogy against the OT.

I think you can do that. I think of them as just think of them as stories and it makes them easier to compare.

If I had to include everything most of the OT and TFA would not be in the Top 5.

I totally agree. ROTS is a complete mess. TPM has its classic moments but falls short & for all its faults I’ve always enjoyed AOTC.

Yeah, as I’ve learned in this past month, TPM seems to be regarded as the best of the PT round these parts. But I think the general consensus on the inter webs is that ROTS is superior (an opinion I share).

Yeah, consensus on the web seems to be that not only is ROTS the best prequel, but that it’s also actually a good movie.

I think they’re all terrible, but it’s hard to rank them. I hadn’t seen them in a couple years, but decided to watch them a couple months ago.

I watched them in reverse order for some reason- I had been wondering about something that happened in the intro to ROTS, so I decided to watch it. Then it got me thinking about stuff in AOTC so I watched that, then I figured, might as well watch TPM to complete the experience.

I thought ROTS was terrible. I thought AOTC was slightly better. When it came time to watch TPM I thought, “ok, this is the one I always thought was the best prequel.”

I think I liked it less than AOTC, but it was extremely close.

So yeah… as of right now, as crazy as it sounds, I might rank the prequels:

AOTC
TPM
ROTS

I could watch them again to really figure it out… but I don’t want to punish myself like that.

For the record, I rank the rest of the movies:

1. ANH
2. ESB
3. ROTJ
4. TFA

It’s possible that TFA might overtake ROTJ for me. I’ll see once I’ve had it on blu ray for a few months.

10/10- The Empire Strikes Back
9/10- Star Wars
8/10- Return of the Jedi
5/10- Rogue One
2/10- The Force Awakens
1/10- The Phantom Menace
0/10- The Other Prequel movies that shall not be named

I disagree. I’ve seen plenty of people on here alone who don’t like TFA much or at all but like R1

Yeah, this is only the second time.

Same.

I liked TFA more than R1.

9. Rogue One: 0/10

Uh uh uh

Rogue One… The movie so shitty I’m even beginning to re-evaluate TFA as something at least decent.

Sounds reasonable.

Actually, I’m going to update my rankings this way…

Excellent, historically all-time great films:

1. Empire Stikes Back
2. Star Wars

Very good:
3. Return of the Jedi

Mediocre and derivative:
4. Rogue One

Mostly offensive and repugnant but with some redeeming qualities:
5. The Force Awakens
6. The Phantom Menace

And finally, the irredeemable deplorables of Star Wars movies:
7. Revenge of the Sith
8. Attack of the Clones

I agree with most of this, except for TFA.

Sorry double post

Star Wars
Empire
Return of the Jedi
Force Awakens
Phantom Menace/Rogue One *
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith **

. * Pod Race and duel of fates are great, rest is crap, but RO is just sorta fine all the way through, so sssh!
. ** AOTC has more Christopher Lee and less infanticide

And more quotable bad dialogue.

Controversial, but here we go again…

The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Star Wars (1977)
Rogue One (2016)
The Force Awakens (2015)
Return of the Jedi (1983)
Revenge of the Sith (2005)
The Phantom Menace (1999)
Attack of the Clones (2002)

Yay! Not alone 😃

I’m not even sure how that’s controversial. I’ve seen something in that rough order many times now.
