There’s a Theory that expands this. (Equilibrium takes place a very long time ago in a galaxy far, far away)

“Equilibrium is set in the distant past of the Star Wars universe. The Clerics (quasi-religious order of warriors who believe in suppressing emotion in order to ensure peace) are an early, evil version of the Jedi Order. The Sith began as a rebellion against the Clerics: compared with the emotionally suppressed society of Equilibrium, the Sith creed (“Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me”) actually seems quite reasonable.” - TV tropes

Hum… why not, only issue is that Equilibirum makes explicit references to Earth art and past history, which is inconsistent with the very first frame of every SW movie. But it’s interesting. You should watch THX 1138, original cut or even the SE cut (with cgi that kinda tie Lucas first movie with Kamino… not a joke !).

If we use non official SW movies, then my ranking would be:

  1. ANH
  2. TESB
  3. Dark Crystal (set in a very, very, very, very distant past, dealing with the consequences of the original kyber crystal)
  4. ROTJ
  5. ROTS
  6. TPM
  7. TLJ
  8. AOTC
  9. TFA
  10. R1
