Star Wars feature films ranked.

[B-Lister]

Pretty solid list.

[Brue]

Any list that doesn't have the Ewok movies lacks legitimacy. And I like Rose.

Ahhh -but you must have missed them on my original post.
I have a list of the feature films with the other stuff - they tied at 11/12

After Eleanor (age 9) cried seeing the Ewok die in RotJ we popped in the firt Ewok movie - I forgot an Ewok dies in that too.
So we watched the other Ewok movie. Yep, dead Ewok.

PS - Glad you like Rose.

I started this thread before Solo.

I read the Solo and Lando novels in the 80's - so you know where I am coming from.

It wasn't great, but I liked it a lot. I think I like it more than others did. I would rank it around Return of the Jedi (number 6 on my list)

[YoungOnce]

The way I see it: Yoda was FOOLING and TESTING Luke in BOTH the ESB and TLJ.

Fooling Luke to test his patience in ESB...and, in TLJ, fooling Luke to get him to look inside himself (a callback to ANH's "Feel the Force" theme) for a solution to aiding Leia and dealing with Kylo... so it only makes sense for Yoda to approach Luke in the same jokey way.

Additionally (and this is even more based on opinion rather than the plot integrity of TLJ screenplay), I think Yoda has FUN being jokey. Why not?

Maybe. i didn't catch any clues that made me think that was what they were going for. The reason that crazy-Yoda worked in ESB was because Luke didn't know who he was talking to at the time. Then after the reveal that he was the Jedi master that Luke was looking for, no more goofiness. We never saw "giddy-Yoda" again, until now.

But hey, maybe the afterlife has that effect... After all that drama, Yoda deserves to be happy. I'm happy for him.

[CrimsonGhost]

Hey I just realized I didn't rank the movies...I don't think I did anyway. But now there's Solo to add so:

Star Wars
Empire
Return of the Jedi
Solo
The Last Jedi
The Force Awakens
...and then the ones I don't care if I never see again:
Attack of the Clones
Phantom Menace
Revenge of the Sith
Rogue One

There it is. Not thrilled JJ Abrams is back for the Episode 9. I fear he's going to not see the merits of Last Jedi and just create another mystery box or load it with fan service.

[huedell]

Well, I never said that I despised it. They haven't made any movie yet that I despise. I either like something or I don't, in the same category of canned green beans... Meh, not my thing.

I have no need to come back to Last Jedi. I saw it twice in the theatre... Once because it's Star Wars and second time because my daughter wanted to see it. It didn't get any better with the second viewing for me. If anything, I had more hang ups the second time around. Oddly enough, one tiny thing that bothered me that doesn't seem to bother anyone else was Yoda's behavior. Why was he acting all giddy and senile like in ESB when he was trying to fool Luke? That was all an act and Yoda never repeated that behavior in any other film did he? So why did the director think that that's the way Yoda acts?

Anyway, that's just one nit to pick. No doubt, somebody out there just thinks that scene was just the coolest thing ever and so, who am I to pass judgement? I just know about me and that's all.

Revisiting this from 4 months ago...I'd like to say my take on the Luke Last Jedi plot points being perfect hasn't changed.... exactly.

I'm starting to accept that its reasonable to expect that fans expectations for Luke's attitude to be more heroic AT THE START OF THE FILM are "acceptable" expectations.

Can't say I agree... but I guess that's reasonable.

As far as your question about Yoda's jokey approach?

See, if you deconstruct Luke in the Last Jedi, you'll see it was an attempt to just copy past Luke moments, and "perfectly" bring them into this modern era/The Last Jedi. I think they 100 percent achieved this, and that includes the logic of the jokey Yoda that was jarring to you.

Okay, here goes nothing. And I can almost guarantee my list ranks TPM higher than anyone on the forum.

Star Wars (could be the only one, and we'd still be talking about it)
Empire (because it's a masterpiece of color and symphony)
Return of the Jedi (the lesser of the originals still packs an emotional wallop)
The Force Awakens/The Last Jedi (I might shift these around after awhile, but I am enjoying the heck out of the sequels)
Phantom Menace (the best of the Prequels. For all the hate it gets, it feels most like a Star Wars film, has great environments, models, best saber duel, groundbreaking effects, score, and I like Jar Jar)
Revenge of the Sith (some days I like this better than TPM, but it is solid and Epic. There's a few writing disappointments, but it gets more right than wrong. Obi-Wan is excellent in this film.)
Attack of the Clones (There's a few great set pieces, but the biggest problem here is the pacing and dodgy effects. Why no practical Clone Troopers?)
Rogue One (I still love it, but it feels like a real chore to get to Act III, the characters are bland, and it could use more humor and alien characters)

That was hard. I love them all, warts and all. But if I have to rank them, this is how.

[Mr.Marion]

1. Empire
2. Star wars
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Revenge
5. Force awakens
6. Attack of the Clones
7. Rogue one
8. Phantom Menace

Haven't seen last Jedi yet so I will reserve judgement on that.

[jwyblejr]

My turn:
ANH
ESB
Third is close but I'll give it to Rogue One
RotJ
TFA
TLJ,I'd rank it ahead of TFA but Rose is the reason I dropped it down. BTW,I have no problem with Leia using the Force to pull herself back. It's funny. Kanan did pretty much the same thing in Star Wars Rebels when Maul threw him out of an airlock on the Ghost,yet no complaints.
RotS
AotC
TPM.

[spockoda]

My list would probably be the OT movies in the order they came out, and the PT movies in reverse order in which they came out. Any Disney/Kathleen Kennedy movies are kinda grouped together in my mind, as in "I don't really care to discuss it" special category.

[spockoda]

Glad you enjoyed TLJ, Hec! It’s not for everybody, and I completely understand all points of view, but it’s very rewarding for those who enjoy it.

Different people walk away with different things taken. For me, it was a chance to see the character of Luke in a Star Wars film presumably for the last time in my life.

[spockoda]

Heck, if I was crazy enough to have any...I’d ship them all to you for free, no problem, lol...

Darn, because that was starting to sound like a plan.

[Hector]

I like Poe, a fine Han Solo replacement...

[Hector]

Thanks for your input...I watched it with an open mind, maybe too opened...as I had absolutely no problem whatsoever with anything that happened...except maybe a couple of things...





SPOILERS...



Captain Phasma had way too little screen time. She was the only female Stormtrooper (that I know of), and an officer at that. She was played by Game of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie (Brienne). She’s a big powerful individual...she should’ve smashed Finn, lol.

I wished Rose Tico and her sister, Paige, would’ve switched roles. Rose dying and Paige surviving...as Paige was the cuter of the two, lol...

Leía doing a Superman impersonation was a bit silly, lol.

I had no problems how Luke left the building...no different than Obi Wan...
