Look, I understand that the sequels made the prequels look good, but that still doesn’t make any of them S tier
Or A tier.
Rewatching them they’re still not good. Most of the characters in Phantom Menace are as interesting as cardboard. The execution of those is bad.
IMO they just get credit for trying to tell a tragedy and telling a more unique story rather than doing a soft reboot that meanders.
Revenge of the Sith has been my favorite since before the sequels came out. It’s not even an unpopular opinion either.
It has like two good scenes plus that iconic Vader suit up scene, everything else is whack
Speak for yourself.
Strongly disagree. S-tier is reserved for the two movies worth watching in their own right: Empire Strikes Back and Rogue One
New Hope gets A-tier for the best in class special effects from that time period. It’s mid as hell compared to basically any action movie from the past 30 years (which is 1995 to now, mind you)
All others get C-tier or lower because they’re all half-assed cash grabs and are only worth watching if you’re deeply in love with the lore and just a smidge masochistic
I’m not so generous with this series
S: New Hope, Empire Strikes Back
A: Return of the Jedi
B: Rogue One, Revenge of the Sith
C: Force Awakens, Last Jedi
D: Phantom Menace
F: Rise of Skywalker, Attack of the Clones
I haven’t watched Solo, so I’ll not rate it. Rise of Skywalker was so offensively bad that I almost want to put it in a lower tier than Attack of the Clones, which was just boring. I liked The Last Jedi for the swings it took, even if many missed, while The Force Awakens played it too safe. Rogue One and Revenge of the Sith had good moments, but they also had serious problems. Return of the Jedi wasn’t a home run like the first two. The Phantom Menace has redeeming qualities, but they don’t make up for flaws.
I don’t know you, but I know I respect this tier list.
I agree with everything except the phantom menace. I think it should be C tier. I love the prequels but when I rawatched them last, the phantom menace stood out as being particularly slow paced and boring
ooo yay star wars posting!
Maybe it’s just the nostalgia, but I have always been a fan of Phantom Menace. Not sure I’d call any of them S tier, but at least relative to each other’s placement I think I mostly agree with this.
nah mate, ep 2 goes directly in b or c tier. Agree with the rest tho
Nothing but facts detected.
Personally I rate Solo higher but just focus on the things I liked about it and ignore the things I don’t.
1: The Falcon’s diversion with the space monster is actually a really clever solution to a bunch of fansplaning about Han’s infamous parsec line.
2: Donald Glover as Lando.
3: Lando should in fact be an actual pansexual, he gets two spots, cope.
4: It’s literally the only film that shows blasters/energy weapons as dangerous as they should be. No little burn marks on your shoulder and you grin and bear it, no, they use blasters because it melts a fucking hole in you.
This list looks unlike pretty much any list I’ve ever seen, and while I don’t agree with all of your opinions (TLJ is second only to ANH in my book), I respect your unique thinking!
Swap 7 and 8.
Honestly, 6 does not belong in the S tier.
Prequels top out at B tier.
Rogue One and Solo are spot-on.
