  1. Empire Strikes Back:
    No other SW film, in my opinion, nails a sense of true dread and the most organic connection between the cast.
  2. Return of the Jedi:
    I know the scorn brewing, and while I don’t like the first half, the last half still stands the best way to end a trilogy.
  3. Star Wars 77:
    It’s a good introduction to the ever expanding universe. It tends to be straightforward and a rather simple story. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but knowing how well the following sequel is crafted and how emotionally investing the finale is, the shadow tends to fall here.
  4. The Force Awakens:
    It’s no wonder it’s the least offending for most viewers. It treads lightly and borrows heavily from all three of the OT.

…and the rest of the movies more or less fall into relatively the same category of mediocrity or frustratingly dropped the ball when it had the right pieces.
