Wow. One of the few times I’ve ventured out of the preservations section and saw this thread.

Here’s my rankings:

  1. The Empire Strikes Back
  2. Star Wars
  3. Return of the Jedi
  4. All other Star Wars films

Seriously, arguing over the merits of which of the films post ROTJ are more mediocre than the other is such a waste of energy.

The best stories post ROTJ have come from the EU in books, games and comics (though there has been a lot of terrible stuff too in the EU). Rebels was pretty great too.

But as far as films go, every one post ROTJ has been disappointing, just to different degrees. For me the sequel trilogy films have been the worst. Mainly because I can see the unrealised potential squandered in them.
