Am I the only one with ROTS in dead last?

Nope. I am in the same boat as well. For me the prequels degraded with every new incarnation. I hated a lot in TPM, but at least it retained a filmic look and had some surprises and remnants of some fairy tale vibe. ROTS lost a lot when the Anakin plot went the route that everybody suspected beforehand. We knew too much having seen the OT before.

That was the best thing about TLJ. That it played with our expectations a lot.

Possible ranking:

  1. Empire
  2. Star Wars
  3. The Force awakens
  4. The last Jedi or Return of the Jedi (have to watch TLJ again)
  5. the other one of those
  6. Rogue One
  7. The Phantom Menace
  8. Attack of the Clones
  9. ROTS

I did’t like the casino “cantina“ which did’t feel like Star Wars at all. If that was moved to a Men in Black movie, it wouldn’t feel out of place there. So probably Return of the Jedi will win.
