FWIW, I wasn’t mocking you either. I was pointing out that your explanations were random, just like your order. You didn’t express any consistent reasoning as to why you liked films progressively better or worse in some particular order. It was more like:

“I like this film for this reason”
"I don’t like this film as much for this totally unrelated reason"
and so on

There is one obvious answer to why you ranked 4-8 the way you did, but you didn’t give that. It would be originality, or at least one person’s view of it. Star Wars has the most original characters as they were never in any other movie before, so it goes to the top. Rogue One has a few unoriginal characters, but not as many as the other sequels, really mostly new people, so therefore it’s #2. Empire Strikes Back has returning cast and whatnot, but it’s more original than the other sequels, and then they get progressively more derivative after that.

Obviously you just prequel fanboy’d those into 1-3, but at least this seems to explain your 4-8 reasoning.
