It’s always difficult to rank George’s six films as I feel they form a collective whole and knowing where to place The Empire Strikes Back is very difficult. It may have one of my favourite sequences in all of the series with Yoda training Luke but I am finding I connect more overall to the full story told in Attack of the Clones at the moment. My rankings are subject to change again in the future but right now that’s what I’m thinking.
The Disney era and TV series have stayed consistently the same in terms of rankings. Rogue One is growing into my favourite film of the Disney era while The Clone Wars is such a treasure trove of new spins on Star Wars. It’s exciting and engaging to watch. I especially loved the arc with Aayla Secura and the pacifists that I saw awhile back. The series makes me miss George even more though. So it’s truly a double bladed lightsaber. I do enjoy The Rise of Skywalker slightly more than I did before but it’s still behind The Last Jedi as the best film in its trilogy.
