5, 6, 4, 7, 2, 1, 3, 9, 8
Spot on!, Let me add :I like the tiered approach, here's mine:
Tier 1
Tier 2
- A New Hope - This one is my favorite, I can watch this over and over and over and it never gets old. Fantastic story telling with an incredible score and great characters
- Empire Strikes Back - This is the best movie overall and has some of the coolest sequences in the series (Hoth / Dagobah / Luke vs Vader), but after the big reveal, it looses a hair of steam for re-watches. It's really close though
Tier 3
- Return of the Jedi - Campy but a lot of fun. Iron bikini for the win
- The Mandalorian - had to throw this in there, I thought this series was fantastic! Great script - very entertaining.
Tier 4
- Revenge of the Sith - aside from the ridiculousness of the opening sequence and the lack of the vader march score when Anakin turns, I enjoyed this one. Ewan McGregor's best performance.
- Rogue One - Gritty war movie with a different tone than the rest of the franchise. Visually I thought this was the best movie since the original trilogy, especially the entire Scariff sequence.
- The Force Awakens - Very predictable/familiar and zero creativity from a story telling standpoint, but this was fun and I enjoyed the 3 main new characters a lot. It's what the series needed after the prequels
- The Rise of Skywalker - Fun, glitzy but ridiculous. Some really cool sequences. The best part about this movie is that it essentially undoes everything in the Last Jedi
- Solo - Better than I expected but the guy who played Han was pretty bad.
Tier 10000000
- The Phantom Menace - The first star wars movie that I looked at my watch in the movies. Convoluted story that still doesn't really make sense. It has gotten a little better watching over time once the other movies were out, but not much. IMHO the single biggest mistake in the prequels was "killing off" Darth Maul.
- Attack of the Clones - Somehow managed to add to the convolution from Phantom Menace. Bad script and horrible acting pretty much all around, even Sam Jackson couldn't help it lol
The hatred that surges through my soul when I think of TLJ makes Emperor Palpatine seem like Baby Yoda. I'd love to meet Rian Johnson some day, and feed him is teeth anally.
Spot on!, Let me add :
Tier 9999999
- Howard the Duck - Yes, I am saying watch this movie within the context of the Star Wars Universe. Yes, I understand that makes abso-fucking-lutely zero sense, and yet, somehow, it still makes more fucking sense than TLJ. Fuckety-fuck-fuck-fuck, I HATE TLJ.

Me too. Although, "each subsequent viewing" for me means watching it being drug across my freshly shiten ass crack. So we might be coming from different places.Interestingly, Last Jedi is one of the Star Wars movies that I felt has gotten better and better with each subsequent viewing.
