This is probably the first time ever that I've seen a rating scale from 1 to 8.
But here goes, replete with detailed reviews:

SW - 8/8  epic
ESB - 7/8  intense
ROTJ - 7/8  fun
TPM - 4/8  watchable
AOTC - 2/8  hilarious
ROTS - 1/8  crapfest

So I may be nuts, but I'm not the only one.

You may say I'm a dreamer.  But I'm not.  John Lennon.  Great songwriter.

Yeah... those are very odd ducks you've quoted there.

Even IMDB is nuts:

RotJ:

Users: 8.3/10 (243,650 votes) 507 reviews | Critics: 120 reviews
Metascore: 52/100

 

TPM:

Users: 6.4/10 (216,356 votes) 3,347 reviews | Critics: 231 reviews
Metascore: 52/100

My only guess is that they weren't using the same scale when they rated these.  Or they, like some of you, are certfiable.

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!

I went with the 8 point system because I think a lot of other ratings systems have redundant levels (like an 8/10 for great and a 9/10 for excellent). I feel that calling a film "great" or "excellent" or "outstanding" is basically saying the the same thing. I suppose I could have had a 0 for a film with no redeeming features. On the other hand the 4-star rating system seems too basic.

This is what happens when you ignore the ball rating system.  Everything falls apart.

ANH 10/10

ESB 9/10

ROTJ 7/10

TPM 6/10

ATOC 3/10

ROTS 5/10

 

It is really to tough to rate ANH and ESB. ESB is my favorite movie of the series and I think its plot, production values, directing, acting, effects etc. are all better, but ANH had a much higher impact on me, so I rate it higher.

I also like TPM for the most part. It has many flaws, but to me is about the level of ROTJ.

I find it hard to use numbers but this how I'd rank them from best to worst:

Empire

A New Hope

Jedi

Sith

Menace

Ewok films

Clones

Holiday Special

 

The Turkish Star Wars beats all of them though in the sense that it's the worst and best SW at the same time.

Star Wars 9

Empire 9.5

Jedi 6.5 only the oot versions.

Prequels are - 10 each.
