Every Star Wars Film Ranked (Yes, We Went There)

From the groundbreaking original trilogy to the divisive sequels and everything in between, Star Wars has delivered unforgettable moments—and a few we'd rather forget. Whether you're a purist, a prequel apologist, or a Rey defender, this ranking is sure to stir the Force within you.

Let the debates begin.


11. The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

A chaotic patchwork of retcons and rushed conclusions. The visuals? Stunning. The plot? Confused hyperspace nonsense. Even the Force ghosts were like, “Yeah… we’re good.”


10. Attack of the Clones (2002)

If CGI love scenes and wooden dialogue were the high ground, Anakin would finally win. A few solid action set pieces save it from total darkness.


9. The Phantom Menace (1999)

Darth Maul was cool. Duel of the Fates slapped. Jar Jar… happened. The political drama and podracing didn’t quite balance the Force.


8. Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

A fun but forgettable ride. Alden Ehrenreich gave it his all, but the film struggles to justify its own existence. It’s fine. Just fine.


7. The Force Awakens (2015)

A safe and entertaining reboot with real promise. Rey, Finn, and Poe shine—but it’s basically a Death Star remix with nostalgia on loop.


6. Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Now we’re talking. Epic lightsaber duels, heartbreaking betrayals, and the long-awaited rise of Darth Vader. It’s not perfect, but it delivers.


5. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

A gritty war film in a galaxy far, far away. Bold, grounded, and with the best Vader scene since 1980. That third act? Chef’s kiss.


4. Return of the Jedi (1983)

The Ewoks were divisive, but this was a satisfying, emotional end to the original trilogy. Redemption, resolve, and one last lightsaber duel.


3. The Last Jedi (2017)

Bold. Subversive. Stunning. Rian Johnson dared to challenge the mythos—and fandom split in half. Whether you loved or hated it, you felt it.


2. A New Hope (1977)

The one that started it all. Iconic characters, simple storytelling, and a galaxy full of wonder. The blueprint for space adventure.


1. The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Still the gold standard. Darker, deeper, and more mature. Twists, training, and emotional stakes. No Star Wars film has done it better.

Agree? Disagree? Think we're bantha fodder?
