That’s a new one, for sure.

I’m not sure if my ranking has changed since the last time I posted, but:

1. Star Wars
2. Empire
3. Jedi
4. TFA
5. TLJ
   … And then a huge dip in quality/enjoyment.
6. Phantom Menace/Rogue One
7. Attack of the Clones/Revenge of the Sith

To be fair I think I should place TLJ above AotC.

I think Attack of the Clones is the worst installment of all. Revenge of the Sith had a better reason to exist, but butchered it so terribly that I place it equally with its predecessor. Also, they’re so ugly to look at.

How about…no, that’s silly.

Mostly all of this.

Anyway, I feel like that’s been said so many times around here, it would be kind of a breath of fresh air to hear a different perspective.

I guess, but I honestly feel that anyone who doesn’t think that is either trolling or kidding themselves.

SW is first because, well, I just really get a lot of pure enjoyment out of it.

The same goes for TESB and RotJ, but to a lesser extent, thus the second and third places respectively.

I placed RO fourth because the feeling it gave me was a hybrid between the OT and the PT, and I really loved a SW movie that wasn’t centered around the force and lightsabers and jedi and stuff. I just enjoyed what RO did, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I enjoy the OT, so fourth place.

RotS is fifth because I never had to accept the PT like most of you here, and because of that I feel like I’m more open to appreciating them. The shitty acting was never really noticeable because I used to watch every single movie ever either dubbed or subtitled until 4 years ago. And, amazingly, I don’t mind the CGI at all.

TLJ is sixth because it’s such a beautiful movie with moments as Star Warsy as they get brought together by an imo pointless and not well written plot. Hamill is also completely amazing and his performance alone makes the movie worth watching.

AotC is seventh because… I don’t know, I just enjoy it. Hal’s The Approaching Storm makes me appreciate it even more. I enjoy it for being boring too - a story that’s linked to war and has lots of (easier to understand when compared to TPM) politics but isn’t actual open war. Also I enjoy romances, and this movie certainly has a lot of that. Again, I don’t mind the negatives as much, and just enjoy it.

TFA is eighth because I just think it has a recycled plot with a slightly different story with one boring and overpowered and one underwritten protagonist, with a really really cool antagonist, the movie’s strongest point. I remember leaving the theater feeling completely underwhelmed and thinking that there had to have something wrong with me - only to realize a couple of months after, after rewatching the movie several times that I don’t like it at all.

TPM is just boring as hell, extremely stupid with stuff like Jar Jar and Darth Maul and Ric Olie. A bad movie, one that I get no enjoyment out of at all.

I’ll give you credit for trying to explain even though I disagree with you on so many things. With that said…

I have zero idea what this means.

The fact that it’s possibly the worst romance ever committed to film doesn’t bother you, just because it’s a romance?

I, for some unexplainable reason, don’t mind it.

It means you’re old and he grew up with the PT.

I never had expectations. I was never left feeling very underwhelmed by those movies. They were always part of SW to me. They always gave me a very different feeling than the OT, a feeling I now know to be slightly worse, but just slightly. So, since RotS was always there for me, I think I’m more open to appreciate it than I am to appreciate TFA for example, since I saw TFA in theaters and had expectations and was left underwhelmed, etc.

Does this make sense?

TPM is just boring as hell, extremely stupid with stuff like … Ric Olie.

This should be a bannable offense.

It’s like you’ve never seen my posts before.

It doesn’t make sense to me because the movies are all objectively terrible and it doesn’t matter if you had any expectations or not.

I wish I swooped in before you commented so I could predict exactly what you would say.

It’s like you want me to be someone other than me.

I don’t think they are objectively terrible at all. In terms of critics, the consensus tends to be that RotS > AotC > TPM. Apparently out of the 6 Lucas films, RotS was the 2nd best reviewed upon release. I don’t think that makes it objectively terrible.
