My rankings now:

1 - ESB (not SE) - This is the film that i most enjoy re-watching.
2 - ANH (not SE) - This one is very close to being my favourite and would have been if ESB wasn’t so damn good
3 - TFA - The first film released since 1983 that i really enjoyed at the cinema and still enjoy on multiple viewings to this
day. This film gave me my love for Star Wars back, that was severely faltering since the prequels
4 - Rogue One - Now this was a tricky one. Another one i love on re-viewings, but should it go above ROTJ? Well, yes. Nostalgia would have been the only reason for my why i would have said Jedi was a better film. But jedi is a mess. For the film that should have shown the Rebels fighting for their lives to save the galaxy, it was nothing more than phoned in performances, really bad slapstick humour, foreshadowed how the style of the films would change when it came to the PT & the face palming “leia being Luke’s sister” revelation.
5 - ROTJ - The worse of the OT but still miles above the PT.

6 - AOTC - The only reason this one rates higher than the other two PT films is because it was the one i enjoyed the most at the cinema.
7 - TPM & ROTS. Both terrible films. ROTS would be placed dead last for me but the fact that i left the cinema feeling depressed after seeing TPM brings that film down level pegging now with ROTS.
