      Well, the Emperor sent one ship from Exegol to destroy Kijimi, and General Pryde's ship said it could guide the fleet out, so it's not clear why every other ship has such an odd weakness. None of the Resistance ships or the Galaxy Fleet had problems either, and the First Order is supposed to be more technologically advanced. There's always an official explanation but the movie itself gives a poor excuse, IMO.

    I used to say that Revenge of the Sith was my favourite SW film. But now, I would just say I love episodes 1 to 6 equally. They feel like one big film to me, I've seen them so many times.
    All the films have good and bad points, but these add to the whole experience of the story and think the prequels compliment the originals beautifully.
    Additionally, George Lucas's development as a director and the development of the main cast through the films, as both characters and actors, these are also part of the experience of Star Wars. I wouldn't change any of it.

    My number 1 not popular but I've never in my life looked forward to a movie like I did Return of the Jedi. The huge finally of the Ultimate Good against the Ultimate Bad. At the time this was the end of everything Starwars and that battle didn't disappoint. I also feel that Like and Darth had the best duel in this movie. Impact has to count for something and this fight was for the Galaxy.

    The only sci-fi film that is at 'The Empire Strikes Back's' level isn't a 'Star Wars' movie, it is the second 'Star Trek' film, 'Wrath of Khan'!
    (I Edited this just to add the following note...)
    When I say 'SCI-FI' I must make it clear that there is ONE film above both 'Empire' & 'Khan', and that is '2001-A Space Odyssey'! I didn't want anyone thinking that I don't BOW before it's GREATNESS!!

    • @jtreedy116
      @jtreedy116 7 місяців тому

      I have a line I say in regards to Khan... Wrath of Khan wasn't a good Star Trek movie, it was a good movie, period. It did so many things for Trek (and I am absolutely passionate about Trek) on such a small budget - it saved Trek after The Motion Picture.
      That said, I shall make one quibble, both with you and myself here... The Motion Picture is unfairly maligned. Robert Wise had Roddenberry over his shoulder mucking up the world and good lord those pajamas uniforms... But, if anyone cares to - do give the latest 4k Director's Cut a shot - it is BEAUTIFUL and here is the quibble with you steve... Agreed that 2001 is a masterpiece, but I'd posit that the true version of The Motion Picture is a direct follow-on, the successor to 2001. It's the only Trek movie that is actually a sci-fi story - the others may have a sci-fi setting (Trek), but they're not really sci-fi stories. There's a bad guy the crew of the Enterprise need to take care of. In TMP, there was no bad guy - I suppose V'Ger can be called the antagonist, but V'Ger wasn't actually a big bad - it was... sci-fi. The visuals of the Enterprise going inside V'Ger are beautiful, still to this day, and were groundbreaking stuff in 1979. And don't get me started on the reveal of the Enterprise's refit... That's starship porn for someone like me. The Connie Refit Enterprise is the First Lady of sci-fi spaceships. Some are bigger, some are badder, but she's the sexiest of them all.
      TL;DR version - Khan is awesome, yes, and certainly more accessible for casual viewers, but TMP is, and I know literally only my wife will agree with me here (TMP is her favorite Trek movie, and she's as hard core a Trek fan as I am), the sci-fi successor to 2001. (I'll give credit too to Interstellar for being a successor to 2001.)
      Even more TL;DR version - I highly like and recommend TMP. (Flame suit activated!)

    1. A New Hope - There's a reason everyone went and saw this over and over again. Re-watchability.
    2. Revenge of the Sith - So many goosebump inducing scenes. Like when Obi says to Padme "Anakin is the father isn't he? I'm so sorry." and the music swells and we cut to Anakin.
    3. Empire Strikes Back. My favorite as a kid but maybe I've seen it too much now? John Williams' masterpiece btw.
    4. The Phantom Meance - Seeing this on opening day made me feel like I was 5 again. I love the look of this one. Also, #1 Jar Jar fan here.
    5. Return of the Jedi - Fantastic stuff but even as a kid watching it at home I always fast forwarded half the Jabba and Endor scenes.
    6. Attack of the Clones - Anakin's awkwardness around Padme and his overeagerness to become a Jedi Knight highlight how he was so easily manipulated by Palpatine.
    7. Rogue One - Hey, Disney actually did something right with Star Wars.
    8. The Force Awakens - Great set up but we'll get there...
    9. Rise of Skywalker - I appreciate that J.J. tried to right the ship in regards to Luke. It is a good looking movie. Thats about it.
    10. Solo - I didn't want this and I don't care if the writer doubled down on it on Twitter but Lando does NOT bang robots. Visually horrible until towards the end.
    11. The Last Jedi - Congrats Ruin Johnson, you destroyed SW.

    Empire strikes back is my #1. It’s the first time I ever seen the bad guys win at the end
    Plus finding out Darth Vader was Luke’s Father scene was still one of the best scenes ever
    Any of the last 2 movies are in watchable
    I thought I might get some answer
    They had weapons disappear from bad guys hand then reappeared just so the girl can escape
    No holograms when looking at empires ships chasing the rebels when they where killing one ship at a time why I don’t know but the radar that they used looked like a 1979 video game
    They just didn’t care

    I didn't get into Star Wars until pandemic lockdown. One of my best friends has been into Star Wars longer. We have very drastic list. IDK if mine is controversial.
    1) Rogue One
    2) Revenge Of The Sith
    3) Return Of The Jedi
    4) Empire Strikes Back
    5) Phantom Menace
    6) A New Hope
    7) Phantom Menace
    8) Clone Wars
    9) Solo
    10) Force Awakens
    11) Rise Of Skywalker
    12) Last Jedi
    Sequel Trilogy, I can't seem to not compare it to Josstice League VS Zack Snyder Justice League situation with a change of directors in the middle and changing story and not acknowledging plot points from each other. Also this is for me personally. I don't get Star Wars feel from Rian Johnson Last Jedi. I do get a bit more feel from JJ Abrams Star Wars movies. But they just don't feel that great for me either.

    Good ranking! I always appreciate hearing other opinions on Star Wars. I’m getting ready to revisit these again for my yearly watch, and I anticipate 2 of these swapping places, but here’s my ranking right now:
    12. Rise of Skywalker
    11. The Clone Wars
    10. The Last Jedi
    9. Solo
    8. The Force Awakens
    7. Rogue One

    5. The Phantom Menace
    4. Revenge of the Sith
    3. A New Hope
    2. Return of the Jedi
    1. The Empire Strikes Back
    Generic in some ways, I know, but I anticipate Episode 3 overtaking 4, and Jedi is MUCH closer to ESB for me than it is for others.

    ROTJ 4th? Not a chance. And if the rose tinted glasses are removed, Rogue One is the best Star Wars film. Lucas was abysmal at writing. His broad stroke story telling was good. I was 14-15 in 1977 and I knew at the time Star Wars was second tier sci-fi. Yeah yeah, Space Opera. Pfft ;)
    It's strange that the best Star Wars live action series also contains Cassian Andor, Melshi and Mon Mothma.

  • @DanTheMeek
    @DanTheMeek 7 місяців тому +2

    Great list, here's mine:
    1: The Empire strikes back
    2: A New Hope
    3: Revenge Of The Sith
    4: Rogue One
    5: The Force Awakens
    6: Solo
    7: The Phantom Menace
    8: The Rise of Skywalker
    9: Attack of The Clones
    10: Return of the Jedi
    11: The Last Jedi
    12: Clone Wars
    I think Tiers better represent it for me though as several movies are interchangeable for me, and the gap between the good and the bad is bigger then a single number suggests:
    S: ESB, ANH
    A: RotS, RO
    B: TFA, Solo
    C:
    D: TPM, TRoS, AoTC, RotJ
    F: TLJ, Clone Wars
    Recently rewatched them all with my wife (who hadn't seen them before) and had some surprising take aways. Perhaps the biggest was that Return of the Jedi really doesn't hold up, its tonally a mess in addition to not making much sense, and was one of the few films my wife and I pulled out our phones during because it wasn't engaging enough to keep our attention for much of its run time. The acting also felt like a step down from the previous films, albeit mostly Carrier Fischer. I suspect it got higher on your list out of nostalgia since you spent most of your review tearing it apart harder then the movies that came below it in your list.
    I used to have Attack of the Clones in my F tier but on rewatch I liked it more then I remembered, which isn't to say I liked it, just that I liked it about as much as The Phantom Menace, which isn't saying much, but before I had found TPM bad but watchable, while I had previously found AotC straight unwatchable. It's worth noting we didn't rewatch the animated Clone Wars as I remembered it being so bad in the theaters I couldn't bring myself to subject my wife to it.

    • @TheMediaMonologue
      @TheMediaMonologue  7 місяців тому +1

      Good list! And yeah, I placed ROTJ higher in comparison to problems I had with the other films, but I suspect I'd rank it lower the next time I do a ranking. Still, the 2nd half of the movie is amazing, so maybe that's enough to save it for me.

    Flat out terrible
    8. Rise of Skywalker
    9. The Phantom Menace
    That's my ranking. As much as I try to love The Phantom Menace, I just can't justify the dumpster fire that is the first prequel. It just contradicts everything that the Original Trilogy did so well. Yoda in his entirety is slaughtered in the Prequels, going from being the greatest character, being this mysterious, force wielding mythological deity, to a mere flashy fight scene. (Still mad about that) The acting is terrible, and the script is notably worse than any other Star Wars Film. I absolutely despise The Phantom Menace for all that it ruined. The only good that came out of it is Qui Gon Jinn. The only reason the Attack of the Clones isn't lower is because it has charm and great world building, and you get a better insight into the world of star wars and its inner conflicts. It also builds Anakins character very well, as well as his descent into darkness. Still not great, but it's better than TPM. As for the Rise of Skywalker, its fun but fundamentally terrible, and it ruins all of the great possibilities that The Last Jedi sets up. Making Rey a Palpatine and bringing him back in general was horrible, absolutely unjustifiably terrible. The Last Jedi has such interesting themes, it was dark, gritty, and made you question whether good or bad even exsisted in Star Wars. I love philosophical shit, and The Last Jedi was exactly that, it was glorious. So its a shame it was ruined by J.J Abrams. Return of the Jedi is good, its just notably worse than the other originals. It has charm, and a good message, but the only interesting parts of the film end up being Luke and Vaders conflict. The rest is sort of thrown in the background and less expanded on than the theme of Light vs Darkness. Leia (who is my favorite OG Trilogy character) is needlessly wasted and mistreated in this film due to the fact that Luke is just the only focal point. She was such a powerful figure in A New Hope and Empire, and it worked so well, and shes just not the same in Return of the Jedi. Han is barely developed at all, like whatsoever, and Han and Leia are just sort of there, with not much development to make their romantic trope interesting. As much as I love this film, and adore it because of its charm and identity, its just difficult to not notice the blantantly bad stuff going on within its characters. I will say, Vader is perfect, as is Luke.

    1. Empire Strikes Back - greatest movie ever made, and while eclipsed by the prequel fight choreography, Luke vs Vader 1 is the greatest duel visually and impactfully
    2. Return of the Jedi - Luke is amazing (as he DAMN WELL SHOULD BE), the three battles-at-once is visually insane, and Luke vs Vader 2 is the second most impactful duel (Ani v Obi is so, so close here) - my only nitpick - and it's not the Ewoks... I'm a blue saber guy and graflex saber is THE definitive saber design for me
    3. Revenge of the Sith - this and Jedi are so, so close, Anakin vs Obi-Wan is fantastic, high ground aside
    4. A New Hope - without this we have nothing
    5. Rogue One - it was actually a Star Wars movie - this will be the only non-Lucas movie I rank... It just felt good, and the starfighter battle was thrilling
    6. Attack of the Clones - I buck the trend in that, wooden dialog aside, I like this movie, and seeing Yoda go ham on Dooku was a thrill in the theater
    7. The Phantom Menace - delete pod racing and maybe this moves higher... Duel of the Fates was epic, surely, but the setup required too big a lift I fear with the politics...
    8. The Clone Wars - it's George approved so it makes the cut.
    The sequel trilogy? Doesn't exist, I don't care what anyone says. I shall keep my head canon with all the novels of the EU (screw the Legends name!). Solo? Couldn't be bothered to watch it so I'm not going to comment.

    clearly I'm bad at making decisions but you get the idea. it's hard for me not to put RotS in the top 3 but the originals have always been my favorites and I have such a soft spot for them. I'm a bit of a TFA defender because it's just a fun time and it had SO much potential, I loved so many of the new characters but man they fumbled the bag with all of them. clone wars movie is awful but it least it introduced 2 of my favorite characters of all time (Ahsoka and Rex). can't pick between TRoS and TLJ because I hate them both for some different reasons and some similar reasons.

    Rise of skywalker pisses me off the whole message saying okay killing your family member if they are evil which is complete opposite of return of the Jedi this why I consider Luke a true Jedi while Rey is a fake one considering how she acted during fights. Now that I think about it there wasn’t any Jedis at all in the Disney trilogy I’m not talking about those that quit being one or didn’t complete there training I talking about full fledged ones and looking at Rey she doesn’t have a Jedi mentor at all.

FiNN's a pathetic character who feels bad about what he didn't do, conviniently changes when the plot needs him to the most and he's a hypocrite who didn't kill innocents yet kills stormtroopers who just like him...were brainwashed. Worst character of all time.
    And then there's Kylo who looks so cool but is humiliated after 5min for the sake of a silly joke and then removes his helmet to show the worst face I can think for a villain.

    9th place. episode 9 same as 8 but I at least somewhat enjoyed when the force ghost came back.
    8th.place. episode 7 this is the only sequel that I don't really dislike. but still not my cup of tea
    7th. place episode 2 this is my least favorite true star wars movie, out of the 6 movies this one was the least interesting
    6th place clone wars. I don't really get how this movie gets so much hate. yeah the jabbas son part isn't very entertaining, but the entire section on christosife was the best part.
    5th place episode 1. I don't get the hate with this one nethier. I agree that Jar Jar was not a very good character. but outside of that I enjoyed watching movie.
    4th place episode 3. by far the most important star wars movie.
    3rd place episode 5. wait what the best is 3rd. All my favorite parts were in hoth and Bespin. The middle parts was decent but kinda dragged on.
    2nd place episode 4. its hard to tell why I like, but I just really like it.
    1st place episode 6 I'm a little surprise my favorite star wars movie is consider the weakest of the OT. but I always have the most enjoyment with this one.
