[Days of Future Piff]

-GOAT-
Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
* These were the two best movies in the franchise, bar none.
The original Death Star battle? Legendary.
The Battle of Hoth? Legendary.
Han Solo in the asteroid field? Legendary.
Luke's training with Yoda? Legendary.
Luke dueling Vader on Cloud City and finding out who his father is? Legendary.

-Great-
Return of the Jedi
* My only real gripes with this movie are the Ewoks and Boba Fett going out like a punk. Luke's confrontation with Vader and Palpatine in the throne room is classic though. The sail barge fight with Jabba's goons and Lando's assault on the Death Star are also highlights.

-Decent-
Revenge of the Sith
* This movie has a great concept but is hindered by excessive CGI, over-choreographed fights, and weak dialogue. It still has it's moments though (Order 66 was handled well, and Ian McDiarmid did an excellent job playing Palpatine.)

-Alright-
Force Awakens
Rogue One
* The Force Awakens starts off strong, but a lot of red flags start popping up in the second half of the film. (Rey being too strong for no reason, Finn getting turned into a bumbling sidekick, Kylo Ren getting punked, and the lack of a proper reunion between the OG heroes)
* The Vader hallway scene saved Rogue One. While the movie does get better near the end, none of these characters were really memorable or charismatic on their own.

-Meh-
Solo
* This movie wasn't horrible, but it didn't really need to exist either.

-Weak-
Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
* Plinkett ethered these weak movies, but they at least expanded on the lore, brought in halfway interesting characters, and blessed us with a dope cartoon. These movies had a great vision behind them, but were executed poorly.

-TRASH-
The Last Jedi (tied with RoS)
Rise of Skywalker (tied with TLJ)
* These movies exhibit a fundamental lack of respect for the OG characters and their legacy. The new characters like Finn, Rey, and Kylo Ren are also pretty badly mishandled despite a promising start with The Force Awakens. The filmmakers obviously had no real overarching plan or character arc in mind when it came to developing this trilogy.
Even the prequels had a cohesive gameplan and a vision behind them, despite their faults. You knew what they were ultimately building up to.

Agree entirely with this post on every point.

My only change to this would be moving Sith from "Decent" to "Great", and there would be no "Decent", instead having a gap.

Crazy that a throwaway filler movie (Rogue One) garners the same response as the movie that was supposed to be THE jump off movie for the next generation.

Poor Solo.
