A week on from TLJ, I’m a little more solid in my ranking. If I were to force myself to not have any ties, my list would be . . .
- A New Hope
- The Empire Strikes Back
- The Force Awakens
- The Last Jedi
- Return of the Jedi
- Rogue One
- The Phantom Menace
- Attack of the Clones
- Revenge of the Sith
If I AM using ties, then ANH=ESB, TFA=TLJ, and AOTC=ROTS. Since six of nine films would be involved in ties, though, it doesn’t feel worthwhile to do a ranking at all. Those pairs are so close that they could flip any day, and this is how it shakes out today.
