After watching R1 at home on bluray, I can refresh my ranking. I won’t put grades. I don’t like all SW but I don’t think I really hate any. I specify the version I find to be the best to watch, but a “theatrical ranking” and a “fanedit ranking” would be the same.

A New Hope
[NewGuy’s Semi-Despecialized version with my corrected audio track]
Just perfection. -
The Empire Strikes Back
[Bluray version with corrected audio track]
Almost as perfect as ANH. -
Return of the Jedi
[Q2’s Semi-Despecialized version]
A very few lame parts overwhelmed by a great many things.3.5. Tarkovsky’s Clone Wars
[the complete series]
Tarkovsky’s dynamic style meets the prequel era, and it’s awesome. -
Revenge of the Sith
[Hal9000’s Labyrinth of Evil v4.2]
Impressive and visually stunning achievement which sadly failed what needed to be done right.4.5.1. The Clone Wars
[not all, a selection of the best episodes along with Smudger9’s edits]
The Anakin I wanted to see in the movies. The birth of a very good SW character (Ahsoka).4.5.2. Rebels
A handful of episodes are very great, especially those which link the PT era with the OT era.
Good tvseries. Could have been better with another lead. -
The Phantom Menace
[Hal9000’s Cloak of Deception]
Mediocre and childish opening for a saga that has some redeeming qualities. -
The Attack of the Clones
[Hal9000’s The approaching storm]
A (almost) complete failure filled with fascinating ideas and a strong overall story (The Clone Wars begin, that’s a big deal). But something really went wrong during shooting and editing. -
The Force Awakens
[still don’t know what version will be the best: Hal9000’s restructed template with a few more changes such as DigMod’s Heir to the Force for example]
A somehow decent movie (albeit it looks very cheap) but the lack of substance doesn’t sustain interest after the quite fun first act. The way the Force is used in this movie is very problematic. Don’t know if Episode VIII will fix it. Could have been far better. -
Rogue One
[theatrical, maybe Battle of Scarif project could do the trick]
Visually it’s fabulous. The music is also high Giacchino’s quality. It doesn’t look cheap like Episode VII, and some ideas (even if not done right) have a great potential. But there is a feeling of total emptiness about it. It feels… liveless… and often falls in the ridiculous dimension (space Zatoichi dodging laser blasts as if he was in a ZAZ movie). Boring characters, boring storytelling, action scenes with no involvement… A little bit of all of that. The fact is I don’t care for the characters. Everything was there for a masterpiece and in the end it’s just a huge disappointment. The retcon about the weakness of the death star implemented voluntarily is the worst idea of the movie, and maybe the worst thing in the entire saga.
