† I do really like this score, but due to how lists work, it has been relegated to a lower place than I might have wanted it to. (And no, I do not accept ties.)

Updated ranking, which I am pretty satisfied with:

1. The Empire Strikes Back
   A really good soundtrack.

2. Star Wars
   I think I pretty severely underrated this soundtrack in my original ranking. After listening through it again, I really liked it.

3. Return of the Jedi
   Pretty good. Side note: It’s pretty much impossible to find a good version of this soundtrack that either doesn’t sound like crap or has been watered down to oblivion.

4. The Force Awakens
   Thumbs up.

5. Rogue One
   I think most people underrate this soundtrack, but I loved how it sounded and worked in the movie. I also liked how it tied in with the A New Hope soundtrack.

6. The Phantom Menace
   Thumbs up. I especially like ‘Anikan’s Theme’.

7. Attack of the Clones
   Pretty unremarkable as far as Star Wars soundtracks go.

8. Revenge of the Sith
   Pretty much the same as Attack of the Clones.

So even though I have not watched the movie yet, I have bought the TLJ soundtrack. I’m not quite sure what to think of it. It seemed to me kind of busy in places, but that could just reflect the pace of the movie. I think this soundtrack has a bit more interest to me than TFA’s, so I’ll place it above that for now. I also loved the callbacks to earlier soundtracks.

Current ranking:

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