I don’t know if they’re better…I just know I enjoy TFA more than ROTJ and if I have to pick one I’d rather watch TFA. And that’s how I rank them.

So how does it feel to finally have have an unpopular opinion?

It doesn’t feel at all because the popularity of my opinions is meaningless to me.

Don’t you mean “feelingless”?

I guess I mean both.

I guess I feel both too?

What is even happening.

“The sensation you are feeling is the quickening.”

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars
   Sometimes ESB and SW will share #1, especially when I watch them both back to back. No matter how many times I have watched the Holy Trilogy, there’s nothing better than getting to ESB by going through SW.
3. The Return of the Jedi
   SW, ESB, and ROTJ can easily share the #1 spot for me. One great story. I mean whenever I think of Star Wars, or discuss it; I think of the whole story. One long chapter of an epic story. Despite the issues, I have and share with all of you, when I first saw this in the theater when I was a kid, those flaws didn’t exist then, and those feelings I had as a kid watching Star Wars is one of the many reasons why I love them so much. The adult in me understands filmmaking and storytelling, but the kid in me only knows Jedi and Sith, good vs. evil, the light and the dark.
   Plus, Leia looking amazing while choking the life out of a gluttonous fascist that tried to put her in chains…oh and murderous teddy bears.
4. Rogue One
   Sure, there are some flaws: I would have like more character development, and maybe Forrest bring it down to a 9 or so. But this was essentially what my friends and I played as kids when we played Star Wars after school…Snarky droid and all! Great cast and characters. Also…Vader scene.
5. The Force Awakens
6. Rebels
   So far, I’m really digging Rebels. Great story arcs, Tom Baker, BDW and JEJ, McQuarrie nods everywhere and sometimes, very rarely, Esra doesn’t talk. Most importantly, Thrawn in Canon (with a book coming)! And…Ahsoka lives! (I’m really hoping).
7. The Star Wars Holiday Special/Battle For Endor/Caravan of Courage
8. Clone Wars series…get to see Anakin and Obi Wans friendship. Most importantly, Ahsoka’s introduction to Star Wars. She’s become a favorite.
9. The Phantom Menace
10. Revenge of The Sith
11. The Attack of the Clones/Clone Wars vol. 1 + Clone Wars vol. 2/The Clone Wars (2008)
    All Clones are tied…probably because of all the sand.

I probably change my opinion every other day, but this is what I am feeling now:

A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back
Rogue One
Return of the Jedi
Force Awakens
Revenge of the Sith
Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones

Hope and Empire tend to switch spots now and then.

Jedi and Rogue One tend to switch too. Heck, sometimes I will even put TFA above one or both of them. But this is how I would rank them now.

Here’s my list as it is today:

1. Star Wars - A New Hope
2. Empire Strikes Back
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

Here’s mine:

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Revenge of the Sith
5. Attack of the Clones
6. The Clone Wars
7. Rogue One
8. Phantom Menace
9. The Force Awakens

May I ask why you have AOTC so high and Rogue One so low?

I’d like to ask if you are referring to The Clone Wars film.

It could be because they like AOTC more. Just a guess though.

I shall rank thusly:

1. i. Star Wars
   ii. Empire Strikes Back
   iii. Return of the Jedi

(Smallish gap in quality)

2. i. The Force Awakens
   (Fairly modest gap)
   ii. Rogue One

(Valles Marinerisian gap)

3. i. Revenge of the Sith
   ii. The Phantom Menace
   (Big gap)
   iii. Attack of the Clones

Here the tiers (I hope my formatting shows up correctly) are more important than the sub-rankings.

That’s what I’m afraid of…

Nothing wrong with liking something bad. It is no different from you liking TFA despite that fact it is bad.

The only bad thing I “like” is 21 Savage and my inability to defend him indicates why he’s bad. I can defend TFA for the most part though things like Starkiller Base and Leia not hugging Chewie are things no one can defend.

Defending bad film does not make it any less bad. You are just defending your liking of bad things, which is unnecessary since no one was attacking it.

So by that logic building a solid argument for or against any film is meaningless because the quality of the film is completely separate.

You would have to do all this if you could just form a solid argument. Just saying “rehash” isn’t good enough.

In fact you were the one attacking the guy for liking AOTC.

There was no attacking; I was merely being inquisitive.

Isn’t attacking the film?
