Perhaps I should provide a similar list. It’d raise some eyebrows, I reckon.

Eyebrows need raising otherwise we’d all fall asleep from boredom ;P

Here is my list based on Snooker’s “canon enjoyment” format with some slight revisions:

  • Any novels listed are ordered based on how I feel I would enjoy them as a movie adaptation.
  • Games are listed separately due to how differently I enjoy them versus movies, such that it doesn’t make sense to me for them to be in the same list.

MOVIES
-SW, TESB & ROTJ (film) - While TESB is undoubtedly the best, I enjoy all 3 movies equally as one complete saga.
-R1 (film) - After additional viewings this is now my favourite Disney era SW movie.
-ROTS (film) - “Dark Force Rising” edit by Kerr
-TPM (film) - “Anti-Cheese” edit by Jeremy M West
-AOTC (film) - “Anti-Cheese” edit by Jeremy M West
-Heir to the Empire Vol.1 (novel)
-The Last Command Vol.3 (novel)
-Dark Force Rising Vol.2 (novel)
-TFA (film) - “Restructured” edit by Hal9000 (unfortunately this movie has tumbled down my list thanks to TLJ)
-TLJ (film) - Likely Ivan Ortega’s edit, will probably still hate the movie though…

GAMES
-Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (PC)
-Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcase (PC)
-Star Wars Episode I: Racer (PC)
-Star Wars: X-Wing (PC)
-Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (Amiga)
-Super Star Wars (SNES)
-Star Wars Battlefront 2015 (PC)


Below are my previous rankings:
