    Not sure if this post will get deleted by the mods, but I don't recognize the Disney films.

    1. ESB
    2. ANH
    3. ROTS
    4. ROTJ
    5. AOTC
    6. TPM

    Lucas was right when he said the Saga ended with Episode 6 in 2005 to Leslie Stahl. The ST just looks tacked on now and not part of the Skywalker Saga, as it just doesn't fit with me as a consistent narrative.

    Generally, we dont delete or otherwise take administrative action against someone for merely stating their own opinion. However, if it violates the TOS or rises to the level of baiting, flaming, or trolling then thats a different story. @anakinfansince1983

    Thanks. My post was in no way to bait anyone as I just wanted to know if it was OK to just list films in my ranking I consider canon.

    Your opinion is fine. But keep in mind that factually Episodes I-VIII are considered canon by LFL. So people may not agree with your opinion.

    Aside why can’t movies be considered canon even if you think they are terrible?

    I actually really liked TFA and would have ranked that up there with ROTS/ROTJ, but I disdain TLJ. The problem now is that TLJ has ruined TFA (because it is almost like watching 2 different narratives and visions), so I have essentially given up on the Trilogy. I like the 1-6 story, and I feel now that the ST is tacked on at this point, and won't do anything to further the narrative Lucas setup with the story of Darth Vader. In a sense, the movies live and die with each other, so you can't watch them as standalone movies (except The Original Star Wars), so TLJ has pretty much forced me to remove the ST from my canon. But I have no problem with fans who love the ST, as my post wasn't to convince anyone otherwise, I'm just apart of the 1-6 club at this point.

    My oldest daughter (8) and I were just talking about this yesterday. I think I've already posted my rankings earlier in this thread (roughly: ANH, ESB, ROTS, TLJ, ROTJ, TFA, AOTC, RO, TPM).

    I thought that her rankings were interesting (and quite different from mine):

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

    For her there is no OT or PT, and even the ST isn't really a separate entity in her mind. It's just Star Wars number 1 to number 8 (plus Rogue One and Solo).

    From worst to best
    TFA-A remake of a new hope which ruins the original trilogy ending, original trilogy characters, ignores the prequels and adds new ones which are just not believable. Rey is a (removed) and Finn easily kills stormtroopers despite that he said “I am no murderer”. Kylo ren is just pathetic and gets wrecked by Rey...
    TPM-The low point of George Lucas saga, has jar jar binks and is just very childish. Final battle was ruined by jar jar and overall it was boring for me. That said, pod racing is great and duel of the fates is awesome!
    TLJ-I like this movie, it has many flaws, but I like it. It redeemed Kylo ren for me, plot is not a copy of previous films, and I liked a plot twist with killing snoke, because it makes sequels different to the OT. Casino arc was a real downside to the movie.
    ANH-Might get some hate for this one, but even though New hope is a good movie, I find it a bit boring. The Death Star scenes were basically shooting stormtroopers, and droids wandering in the desert for twenty minutes was also no fun. Final battle was amazing, and the duel between Vader and Obiwan has a lot of emotions to it.
    R1- This is my favorite Disney movie and I like that it shows us the world not from Jedi’s point of view, but from a point of normal people. The final battle was perfect, and the Darth Vader scene... Awesome. The only downside for me is that some of the characters did not develop enough, and you did not care much for their death
    AOTC-Yes, I like it. Love story is awkward, but the chase at the beginning is cool, Kamino arc is very interesting, politics are good, and everything on Geonosis was awesome. I loved lightsaber wielding Yoda, it shows that “Size does not matter”. Plus the final imperial March scene still gets me every time I watch it.
    ESB-Amazing movie, but only third on my list because while battle of Hoth, Luke’s training and the cloud city were perfect, I found Han and company flying in the space a bit long and boring. Also there are about ten shots of star destroyers flying with imperial march music, which does get a bit annoying. I love the duel in the end, it is amazing.
    ROTJ-I don’t mind Ewoks, I like jabba palace as it has just the right atmosphere, and finally Luke became a badass. While for some people Endor arc might be controversial, you have to admit that final duel on the Death Star is perfect. Vader redemption is my favourite scene in Star Wars, and it is even more powerful with the prequels, and even more with TCW... It is just amazing. Too bad Lucas decided to insert that stupid No in the end.
    ROTS-My all time favourite, has a very big scale, effects hold up to today standarts, dialogue became better, Order 66 is my third favourite scene from Star Wars, Anakin marching to the Jedi temple, general Grievous is pretty cool, the darkest and the most emotional movie in the saga which culminates with the best lightsaber dual ever. I fail to see downsides apart from that “Because I am so in love” scene, movie is amazing.

    As it currently stands at least:

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

    I consider the Prequel and Original Trilogies equal works of art, so my lower rankings of TPM and AOTC do not by any means reflect any dislike towards them. I liked TFA as well.

    I watched TLJ last night for the first time since December (yep, I only saw it once in the cinema). I just wanted to say that I was struck by how much the musical score reminded me of the PT. There were so many moments where Williams seemed to be using bits and pieces of the PT score, especially ROTS.

    1. ROTS, ROTJ, and TFA 10/10- I just can not put these anywhere but tied for 1. They all include my 3 favorite moments in any movie. In ROTS, it's the final few minutes of the movie after Anakin becomes Vader and Padme dies. Every scene from then on is beautifully acted and is perfect. For ROTJ, it's also the end, right after Palpatine dies. Vader's death, his funeral, and the celebration are all amazing. In TFA, it would be when Han tells Rey and Finn that the Jedi are real. All them of them give phenomenal performances in this scene.

    4. ESB 10/10- I placed this at 4 primarily because of the scenes with Yoda. They are all iconic and easily the best part of this movie.

    5. AOTC 9.8/10- While I don't care much for the romance, the mystery on Kamino is amazing, and the climax is what was built up since all the way back in ANH.

    6. ANH 9.8/10- The movie is amazing, the only reason why it isn't higher is because I simply enjoy the others more.

    7. TPM 9/10- I absolutely adore the beginning and end of this movie, but I feel they stay on Tatooine for way too long and it drags the movie down.

    8. RO 9/10- The movie is great, but Jyn is pretty bland and the CGI Tarkin takes me completely out of the movie.

    9. TLJ 4/10- This is the only Star Wars movie I don't love, and for me, the only redeeming quality was Yoda's scenes, and the acting from Adam Driver, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher. The worst part of the movie would have to be Vice Admiral Holdo, who almost destroyed the Resistance out of stupidity.
