"Fans evolved and the franchise devolved. Plain and simple. My hope is that they are learning from their success with the Mandalorian. Thus far it has been a real treat. A Star Wars western, with the cutest friggin thing EVER. Yes they still have a lot of nostalgia, but for the most part the characters are simple yet convincing and the focus is more on the story."

really, the best 2 in a decade would be this and Rogue One.
granted, we knew what was going to happen to the characters but most of them we liked, at least some back story where we cared for the characters.
good, original action scenes. Solo wasn't bad either, big issue was it came out too soon after TLJ and took flack before it even hit the screen.


I really liked Solo it was a real space western.  But yeah too soon after TLJ and all the backlash.   Plus Mandalorian is just plain good

That is exactly why Solo failed IMO. I assume by "this" you mean Mando?
Dude! You totally ripped off my thing.

yes, sorry. I mean The Mandalorian.

I really liked Solo. Rogue One is actually my favorite Star Wars movie.

I like both Solo and Rogue One but Ep 9 is my favorite of the new sequel trilogy.

Out of the two stand-alone movies, I like Solo the best.  I liked Rogue One, but Solo is just fun to watch.  TROS is also my favorite of the new trilogy.  I also like it better than any of the prequels.

Of the mainline movies TROS is certainly up there for me.

My current ranking of the "saga" movies is:
ESB
TROS (yes, it's #2)
ANH (I know it's the OG but parts are just dull)
ROTJ
TFA
AOTC
TLJ
TPM
ROTS (yes, I like TPM better than ROTS because the acting and dialog is almost painful to watch at time in ROTS)

Of all the released in theatre SW movies they would be:
ESB
TROS
ANH
ROTJ
Solo (very underrated in my opinion)
TFA
R1
AOTC
TCW (the Clone Wars)
TLJ
TPM
ROTS

SERIOUSLY?!? You thought ROTS had worse dialog than ATC? I swore if one more motha#$%&er said "m'lady" in ATC, I was going to shoot Lucas. Plus ROTS gave us the best saber duels to ever be filmed.

Allow me to assist in the redo of your list. Tongue

I will exclude the Holiday Special and Ewok movies as I havent ever seen them (though I doubt they'd be terribly high on the list. My list for the movies is:

1. Solo
2. ANH
3. TFA
4. ESB
5. TROS
6. TLJ
7. R1
8. ROTS
9. ROTJ
10. TPM
11. AOTC
12. TCW

*Please note most of these are extremely close and this is a list of how I like the movies subjectively, as opposed to quality. The only ones I actively dislike are marked in red.

Oh FORCE! What is with the sudden outpouring of love for TLJ?

In keeping with the current topic, I'll stick to just the theatrical releases. Else-wise Mando would be in my top 5.

These are in order of quality of story told

1. ESB
2. ROTJ
3. ROTS
3. ATC+
5. Solo
6. TROS
7. TPM
8. R1
9. ANH
10. TFA
*
51. TLJ

+ The 2 stories within these 2 films (Anakins fall and the fall of the Republic) I felt were essential continuous, but that the endings were only slightly better than the beginnings.

*I left room for future developments

Again, thats why I said its more my subjective "how much I like them" vs objective quality. Ive always been pretty open on my opinions of TLJ. Its not my favorite, and certainly has flaws, but I personally enjoy the story thats told, especially Luke's arc since I like more humanized aspects to heroes. I also think it has the best visuals of the franchise. Ultimately there are some dislikes I have with it which is why its about center of my list; I didnt like Hux or Phasma's treatment, and Canto Bight was really dumb, but I didnt hate it. Perfectly average SW movie for me.
