I love all 7 films, but I will rank them today in the order I most want to REWATCH them right NOW, at this present moment.

AotC haven't seen it in awhile, great film. Love Zam, Kamino, Kenobi.

ANH Rogue One hype train! All time classic!

TFA seen it the fewest times. Great film.

TPM want to pay more attention to details I might have overlooked, like costumes, hair, makeup and the lightsaber duels are goat. Incredible score.

TESB top 5 all time film, always ready to roll! Watched it 2 weeks ago. And a month before that.

RotS love it, top 4 SW film, but a bit depressing for me right now

RotJ watched it a month ago, seen it probably 40 times and watching it with the PT social thread this weekend

Nice, almost same as mine. I should be way stricter when it comes to TFA.

 

I don't know, man, i don't think i'm gonna count Rogue 1 when i rate the movies. The episodes are the main saga, heart and soul of SW, spin-offs (3 upcoming main ones) and TV shows (TCW and Rebels) are just a nice bonus.

 

double post

 

Tpm to rotj, tpm to e9, anthologies by themselves and everything combined. 4 threads.

 

TCF-1138 And even i, a huge fan of TCW, don't count TCW "movie" as a movie, i count it for what it really is : 4 episodes of a Tv show edited together. I seriously don't know what was GL thinking when he decided to release it as a movie.

 

And feature a myriad of stylistic deviations. You could conceptually rank the opening crawls of Episodes I-IX, or John Williams scores for each, whereas the Anthology films are without openings crawls or John Williams' music. It just feels "unfair" to compare the Saga and Anthology films.

 

It's all SW. Good enough for me

 

Not ranking TFA until e9 is out. I can make a list of the movies, books, comics but not an expansive one covering everything. It's all sw to me.

 

You are spot on about this though. Episode 8 and 9 has to build what 7 has done or 7 can lose "points" for me. For instance, we need to see why Luke was so coveted by the FO and the Resistance. We also need to an acceptable response to see why Luke left. Who is Luke Skywalker is the question I'm most interested to see over the next two movies.

Also Kylo Ren's redemption is an absolute must and IMO a certainty. You can't kill off Han Solo and make his son an agent of evil without a redemption story. If you don't believe in redemption (or this redemption), this saga's clearly not for you.

 

"The New Padawan"
"Castle of Deception"
"Castle of Doom"
"Castle of Salvation"

 

Maybe I'm old school (growing up seeing the OT movies individually on HBO in the 80's and not in trilogy form until SciFi started showing them back to back to back in the early 90's, but each movie should stand on its own and not be affected by the other.

ROTJ is a lazy follow up to ESB which set alot of great things in motion (who is the 'other' for example). But ESB is still the best movie, IMO, of the Saga despite the fact that ROTJ does an average job of tying up all of the loose plot points.

I can still watch ANH, ESB, and ROTJ in their own context and not let one affect the other, as I think that's why so many fans have problems when they try to tie everything together. Even if Episode 8 & 9 fail to tie up many loose ends from TFA, it won't affect my love for TFA. In fact, I am going to go out on a limb and say that Episode 9 will probably disappoint most fans because ROTS and ROTJ both failed in tying up the trilogies with a nice bow tie too.

 

I can watch every movie on its own merits but as part of a Saga, parts that don't make sense now in TFA might make sense later on by E9.
We might not know the full context of the scene until later on.
All previous 6 movies threw things of previous movies on their head, so why not wait until E9 is out before judging?

 

TCF-1138 But it's not a movie and never will be. It's nowhere to be found in movie section of SW.com. It's located where it belongs - with the TV show, it's episodes 3-6 in chronological order. 1 episode to conclude the Christophsis trilogy arc and introduce Ahsoka and then Jabba's son arc.
