    Revising my list from the last thread, it now looks like:
    1. The Mandalorian
    2. The Book of Boba Fett
    3. Ahsoka
    4. Andor
    5. Skeleton Crew
    5. Kenobi
    6. The Acolyte

    I had a pretty good time with Skeleton Crew, it bounced a long at a fun pace, and I really enjoyed both Jod and SM-33 in particular. Episode 5 was my favourite, with the crew having to fit in at a glamorous spa, as a ticking clock counts down to their being discovered by pirates. It had an Indiana Jones style hidden tomb exploration to boot. There was a slight slenderness to the season, the sense that it didn't amount to much beyond a rollicking space adventure, but while watching that doesn't detract too much. It might reduce future rewatchability, it feels more like a one-and-done thrill ride. A good one though, don't get me wrong, and a slightly lacklustre ending still puts it above some shows with more critical drawbacks.

    1- Andor
    2- Ahsoka
    3- The Mandalorian/Skeleton Crew
    (A considerable gap)
    4-The Book of Boba Fett
    5-The Acolyte
    6-Kenobi

    There were episodes of the Mandalorian I found to be pretty boring, and Skeleton Crew’s ending was a bit abrupt, so it balances out.

    1. The Mandalorian season 2 (It had Luke, the greatest moment in Star Wars on the back of a great season and that pips Andor)
    2. Andor season 1 (Total slow burn with epic payoff - fantastic)
    3. The Mandalorian season 1 (On the back of a terrible sequel trilogy and introduced an iconic baby Yoda - undid a lot of the bad work of eps 7-9)
    4. Skeleton Crew (Sleeper hit - pretty self contained story with a lot of positive future impact potential and some great characters, just a step below the top three but very, very enjoyable)
    Gap
    5. Ahsoka (Would be higher if it stopped after the Anakin episode, it just went nowhere after that)
    6. Kenobi (Would be in the top four if they entirely cut the inquisitors nonsense, Obi-Wan and Leia were fantastic together)
    Gap
    7. The Mandalorian season 3 (Clearly suffered for Pascale not being available in person, made the season spin its wheels)
    Gap
    8. The Book of Boba Fett (Purely because of the fantastic Mando episodes in it, the rest of the show was Acolyte bad)
    Gap
    9. The Acolyte (What was the point? The show went nowhere and created some big headaches with the timeline, needed director's notes to try and make some sense of all the stupidity happening. I feel for the actors, they tried very hard with a terrible script and terrible direction - this was just absolute trash and even worse, stopped dead in its tracks an era that would have been so much fun to explore but now is unlikely to ever be explored further outside of very little read comics)

    Andor S1 The Best Bar none.
    Mando S1/Mando S2/Skeleton Crew All really close to one another. Hard to judge. Maybe M2, SK and then M1, but all really close.
    Mando S3/BoBF/Ahsoka/Kenobi All still really good, but have issues that keep them down.
    I need to do a rewatch.
    The Acolyte The worst easily.

    Genuine question - what did you like about The Acolyte and especially so to put it at number 1?

    The rest are whatever — gradations of middling, soulless, milquetoast corporate blandness, cash grab and utter creativity void, with the exception of Kenobi and Acolyte being the absolute worst, aggressively terrible abominations.

    Mando

    Andor
    Obi-Wan
    Ashoka
    BOBF
    Acolyte

    All have their merits for me, except Acolyte which I really struggled to enjoy. That was a slog.

    5. The Mandalorian (S3)
    6. Kenobi
    7.The Acolyte
    8. The Book of Boba Fett

    But I am uncertain about position 7 and 8 and also about puttinf Mando S3 in position 5 instead of second with the rest as a whole!
    I did not really dislike any of these shows, they all have their target and style, it is an appreciation ranking and that does not mean I did not like the last ones... it is about the ones that I liked the most!

    4. Skeleton Crew.
    5. Obi Wan Kenobi.
    6. The Acolyte.

    I liked them all even Boba Fett. Its serious drama, western and silly dumb fun.

    The complex and multi-layered story, the character dramas, the atmosphere and the era in which the story takes place. It's all special for me.
    In short, that's the surface. I wouldn't explain it in more depth, I don't have enough language skills to this.

    Same. They've all been good fun so my rating below is pretty superficial and open to change on a regular basis. The only constant is Andor at the top.

    1. Andor
    2. The Mandalorian
    3. Skeleton Crew
    4. Kenobi
    5. TBBF
    6. The Acolyte
    7. Ahsoka
