6 Star Wars Episodes.

In 2016, my order is now....

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. Return of the Jedi
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. The Force Awakens (I've only seen TFA once, so this may change when I see it more)
5. A New Hope
6. Attack of the Clones
7. The Phantom menace

Okay.

I think ANH is too low and AOTC to high. 😉

Do you agree except for those 2? What order would you put them in?

1. ESB
2. ANH
3. ROTJ/ROTS/TFA
4. TPM
5. AOTC

Not really sure about the ranking of the no's 3 yet.

^ Hey you've put TFA on par with ROTS? I'm surprised because I thought you loved TFA and hated the Prequels?

But I guess there's hope for you yet 😉

Nope...

I think in the end TFA might end up just above ROTS. Just because it's more entertaining than ROTS.

1.ESB
2.ANH or STAR WARS
3.ROTJ.
...all the rest I don't care.

The funny thing is... Loads of people who say they hate the Prequels actually seem to like ROTS. It mainly seems to be the first 2 Prequels that people hate. What order would you put them in now, Darth Thor?

It is, but most people let that trick them in to thinking it's good.

The pacing in ROTS is a lot better than in the other two. It's more entertaining than AOTC and TPM. There's more Palpatine, who's great even with a fake rubber mask. And the whole storyline feels more focussed than the other two.

However, for me this movie falls flat on its face with the, IMO, totally stupid 'fall to the dark side' and its ridiculous and incredulous build up to that: "I wanna save Padme from maybe dying (maybe not, always in the motion the future is), so I warn my buddies that Palpy is the evil Sith Lord after visiting him, but oh-no you can't beat him without me (I might as well have taken him out right away then), so I kill my buddy Mace, pledge allegiance to Palpy and oh.... he doesn't know how to save Padme anyway. Shall I kill kids now? Okay...

And the fight between OB1 and Anakin: overlong and emotionally very monotonous. (and quite ridiculous with swinging and the mini floating droids).

Well those people should realise ROTS is a Prequel, before they bash the "Prequels" in general. I think with TPM and AOTC they were "you either loved them or hated them" kind of movies.

Hard to rank. I feel the first 6 Episodes are all smaller parts of 1 Epic Story. But these ones are more certain for me: ANH on top. AOTC on bottom. TFA 2nd to bottom.

I agree with the hard placing. Basically you only need ROTS. TPM and AOTC don't add a whole lot to the overall story.

But in fact, we don't need the PT at all to 'get' the OT. We got by very well for some 15 years.

Not for me. I don't hate them. I do enjoy them, & like them for what they are, but I wouldn't say I "love" them.

Just another flick? 😉

What?

You like 'em but not love 'em... Just another flick then?

Well...

#1 The Empire Strikes Back
#2 Revenge of the Sith
#3 A New Hope
#4 Return of the Jedi
#5 The Force Awakens
#6 The Phantom Menance
#7 Attack of the Clones

Would be my order as it stands.

Okay.

Hey, I don't agree with it. But your list makes sense. 😉
