  1. The Empire Strikes Back
  2. A New Hope
  3. The Force Awakens
  4. Return of the Jedi
  5. Revenge of the Sith
  6. The Phantom Menace
  7. Attack of the Clones

1 and 2 don’t need an explanation, it’s pretty much a consensus. I’ve seen TFA twice now and I enjoyed it much more the second time. I rewatched RotJ and while I still love it, I have to admit that I think TFA is a better movie. Despite the similarities to ANH that have been discussed over and over again, I think it breathes new life into the franchise and has been the most engaging movie since Empire*.

All of the prequels are turds, but RotS is the most polished turd. It’s about as good as the prequels were going to get. The Phantom Menace beats out AotC only because I enjoy the visuals in the movie. It looks much more authentic than II and III.

*Most engaging scene, however, goes to the final duel in RotJ. Probably my favorite scene in the entire saga.
