    1-V Empire
    2-VI Jedi
    3-IX Rise of and IV New Hope, Rogue 1 are right there.
    4- lower than  the above though.  II Clones,  and VII Force are even here.
    5-Much lower than the above.  I, III, VIII are all at the bottom.

    Haven't watched Solo yet.

    EDIT:  I moved up Rogue 1 into the 3rd place slot.  It is fine there sharing w The Hope and Rise

    You know Rogue 1 should be higher on my list for the last Vader scene alone...

    The Last Jedi ranks at the bottom for me, although I still enjoyed it.  As bad as some of the actors were in episodes 1-3, at least a plot was presented.  If the CGI today was available back in the late 90's I'm pretty sure episodes 1-3 would be remembered more fondly, but Lucas was trying groundbreaking stuff in the early days of CGI and the technology just wasn't there.

    Yes the CGI is a big part of it. Those movies almost have a Who Framed Roger Rabbit vibe at times because only the actors are real.

    Now that would be an interesting movie to go back and watch and see how bad it was.  I just watched Logan's Run so my mind will probably be blown away by the special effects.

    The overcompensation is strong with this one.

    ^ ^ Change the speed of the video to double the speed to make it half an hour.
    Or slow it down to 0.25 speed.

    Rogue One deserves a high spot for coming back to a saga and ruling out a plot hole that was allowed to live for over 30 years. I find it brilliant that they took one simple line (you have no idea how much trouble we went through to get those plans - but I'm paraphrasing), and built that story around it almost effortlessly. They also didn't cop out and deliver a happy ending. 

    I'd also put Mandalorian as a whole near the top for me, as it's really exceptionally done.

    Agreed.  It was also a story where everyone dies.  Not one person survived that ordeal so it is a true One Off.

    I edited my list because it was really a great movie and needed to be higher so I did.

    Still haven't watched the Mandolorian.  I need to read up on how much Favreau actually contributes to the SW brand.  Maybe he can help write the next trilogy?

    Rogue One should have used the damn Star Wars music.  Acting and plot is well above the recent entries.

    Just watched it. The first half was a bit of flurry, racing from planet to planet with little regard for time or the vastness of space. But once it settled down a bit I thought the second half was great. I'd like to see it again.

    It was so exciting seeing Vader in it. Especially at the end.

    Episode IX gets better with every viewing. Had a free evening last night and it was $6 ticket day at AMC.
