Empire Strikes Back still remains my top favorite Star Wars film, despite knowing how cliche it is to say that. Its atmosphere and the stakes raised within this film is pretty much nailed for me compared to any of the other ones. It’s basically the Star Wars film where I enjoy all its aspects. The rest of the films, I enjoy it for more specific reasons rather than as a whole. The Force Awakens for instance, I’m really fond of its characters, especially Rey and Kylo, but not so much the story. A New Hope, I appreciate for its technical marvel of its time, and its editing direction, though I may be blasted for saying it’s not that ‘fun’ to watch; it’s pretty linear in story progression. Simple is good at times, and it tells its story well, but for personal preference, I like being invested in multiple story arcs within a film that all converge.
Return of the Jedi remains to me the best space battle I’ve seen, even still having seen Rogue One. Rogue One I think has the most badass space battle moments, sure, but Jedi has the most emotionally driven space battle, so I felt more invested in that one. Just like how the Prequels may feature well-choreographed duels, Return of the Jedi’s Luke vs Vader duel or Rey vs Kylo, those have more emotion driving it.

Hence, my list would go something like this:

Empire Strikes Back (Best balance of drama, humor, and character investment; its atmosphere is done very well and sends me into the Star Wars universe quite effectively)
The Force Awakens (I’m admittedly more interested in Rey’s beginnings here than in Luke’s from ANH)
A New Hope (Despite what I said, it has this charm to it that still brings me back, given its history)
Return of the Jedi (Luke’s confrontation with Vader always stands out, along with an arguably gripping space battle; its first half is suffering)
Rogue One (I like the tone it went after, and it’s a visual treat, but characters didn’t pack a punch)
Revenge of the Sith (Eh, still remains to be the most watchable Prequel)
Attack of the Clones (Pretty much only stay for the 2nd half shrugs)
The Phantom Menace (Even as a kid, I always avoided this one, and still even now, it’s so dry and bland)
