The amount of disrespect I'm seeing levied towards Revenge of the Sith is absurd. I know the prequel trilogy sucked derriere because of Phantom Menace and (ew) Attack of the Clones, but I will forever argue that episode 3 is a very solid if not spectacular entry.


It's a fundamentally bad movie.

I rewatched The Last Jedi the other day and enjoyed it hugely. I'd put it above The Force Awakens.

My list:

1) A New Hope
2) Return of the Jedi
3) Empire Strikes Back
4) The Force Awakens
5) Revenge of the Sith
6) The Last Jedi
7) Solo
8) The Phantom Menace
9) Rogue One

A New Hope, to this day, remains the movie by which I compare all other movies. The trench run is my favorite scene in any movie that has ever been made.

Finally some lists that make sense.

Not having all 3 movies from the original trilogy in your top 3 is just blasphemous

Agreed. I'm a rare person who doesn't list Empire as #1, but how can anyone make an argument that any film outside the originals better than it and its siblings? Even with Ewok hate, how is any non-original better than black suit Luke, slave Leia, and Vader turning against the Emporer?

The Rancor and then the Sarlaac pit (sp?) scenes are enough to put it over all of the rest for me

Boba Fett getting eaten by the Sarlacc was amazing. Han Solo was my favorite character when I was a kid, so I was like "Yeah, what now Boba!!?"

Boba Fett was my favorite Star Wars character and he goes out like a chump.

Rogue One over Return of the Jedi?

I’m not the biggest Star Wars stan, but no way.

Someone ban this bundle of sticks for using real names.

I never followed the Extended Universe but I'm pretty sure everyone just loves him because of the armor.

He's a quiet badass.  He's smarter than the Imperials and the Rebels.  He tells Darth Vader what's what.  And his notorious MO is disintegrating his targets.

But mostly... yeah, the armor.

Plus the jetpack and wrist-mounted missile launcher.

Boba Fett was dope, but Han was my hero. The carbonite scene was freaking traumatic for me.

Disney announced on Tuesday that it is producing three more "Star Wars" films that will hit theaters starting in 2022.

That means there will be a three year hiatus between "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," which hits theaters on December 20, and the next film, which will debut on December 16, 2022.

Two more "Star Wars" films will follow in December of 2024 and 2026, according to Disney.

There's no info on whether those are the Rian Johnson or Weiss & Benioff trilogies or a continuation of the Skywalker saga.

But wow, Disney is going to be releasing a lot of movies.
