It is for me. Most of them are above Rogue One, mainly because I find that movie utterly tedious, with all the boring characters, especially Jyn, who is the most bland protagonist in any Star Wars film.

I agree!

About the long discussion about Mary Sue, It is probably very interesting, albeit a bit boring and hermetic for someone like me whose mother tongue is not English, to read 67 messages that digress subtleties of the English language in a thread name “ranking the SW films”…

IMHO, Mary Sue or not, the most interesting thing is that the hero of the new trilogy is a woman, not a man, isn’t it ? Discussing about her “Marysueness” and about the derogatory aspect or not of this word, is it not already a mysogynous act ? I mean, while we discuss vocabulary, we do not speak about the most interesting fact: the main character of the new trilogy is a female character, as only 28% of current movies (according to Annenberg report for Women in Film)… After that, is her character subtly constructed or not, that’s another question…
