For one last time, Skywalker/Palpatine Saga only:

  1. A New Hope : 10/10
  2. The Empire Strikes Back : 10/10
  3. Clone Wars (micro series) : 9/10
  4. Return of the Jedi : 8/10
  5. Revenge of the Sith : 7/10
  6. The Phantom Menace : 5/10
  7. Attack of the Clones : 4/10
  8. The Last Jedi : 3/10
  9. The Force Awakens : 2/10
  10. The Rise of Skywalker : 0/10

I just cannot fathom how Kennedy, who is a skilled producer and a very intelligent woman, could have produced such non sense. Something went wrong with the ST from its very root, I don’t know how to explain… or maybe I don’t really care now. I feel Adam Driver’s pain: such a good actor in such a mess…

To sum up:

  1. OT
  2. PT
  3. ST : but I just want to forget this trilogy.

So real ranking:

  1. OH : Original Hexalogy

See you all. Have fun. I’ll probably come back from time to back to check out OT hybrid cuts and a ROTS conservative edit.

After rewatching the ST with proper fanedits, my ranking doesn’t change much:

The good ones (lucky me that’s they actually form a complete narrative):

  1. A New Hope
  2. The Empire Strikes Back
  3. Return of the Jedi
  4. Revenge of the Sith
    (with Clone wars 2D it’s a perfect run: 5 high quality flicks to get to the heart of the Saga)

The “it’s still kinda OK” ones:
5. The Phantom Menace
6. The Last Jedi

The “it’s really getting difficult” ones:
7. Attack of the Clones
8. Rogue One

The “I can no longer say something even remotely nice about” ones:
9. Solo
10. The Rise of Skywalker
11. The Force Awakens (this one truly is unwatchable: cheap, uninteresting, déjà vu… the matrix of everything which is wrong in the nostalgia trend which has plagued modern cinema)

I can finally put SW behind me 😃

Next time I’ll follow my own advice ahah 😄
