9. The Last Jedi, this places last to me as I believe it was the most disappointing, i didn’t like the canto bite subplot and the treatment of Luke goes without saying. However it has some great moments and the introduction of a “dyad” in the force was a great idea. Overall 5/10.
8. The Rise of Skywalker, this film is really love and hate for me. In my opinion the return of Palpatine invalidates Anakin’s original arc, and the middle of the film was kinda stale, however the final act of the film is mesmerising with some beautiful moments. Overall 6.5/10
7. A New Hope, for me the pace of this film makes it very easy to get bored and is not very rewatchable. However this movie is good. It’s the movie that started it all, with some amazing moments like the trash compactor scene and destruction of the first Death Star. Overall 7/10
6. The Force Awakens, here is where we get to elite Star Wars in my opinion. I love this film, Rey and Finn’s on screen chemistry was incredible and this film has me engaged from start to finish. From Rey and Finn escaping in the Falcon to them facing Kylo Ren. Overall 8.5/10
5. The Phantom Menace, the nostalgia for me on this film is mad. I love everything, from the opening scene, to Anakin’s introduction, the pod racing scene, Padme being a badass queen to the mesmerising final battle. Incredible introduction to the prequels. Overall 8.8/10.
4. Attack of the Clones,I adore this film. We see how the Jedi worked during that era, the restrictions put on Anakin, the pain he went through with his mother, we watch Anakin and Padme fall in love, the introduction of the clones and the amazing Battle of Geonosis. Overall 9/10
3. Return of the Jedi, what a movie. We see a more mature version of Luke, at this point he is a lot more intelligent. The opening act is iconic, the Battle of Endor is a very fun scene and final act is perfect and hits me in the feels everytime. Overall 9.3/10.
2. Empire Strikes Back, this is iconic cinema. From the Battle of Hoth, to Luke on Dagobah, when the crew are met by Vader and Boba on Cloud City to the famous “I am your father” scene. This film is an amazing example of what Star Wars is. Overall 9.5/10.
1. REVENGE OF THE SITH, Perfection. From a perfect opening where we see Anakin’s dark side tendencies after he kills Dooku to amazing battles like Kenobi vs Grevious, Yoda vs Palpatine and Anakin vs Obi-Wan. The ending is heartbreaking and finishes a perfect movie. Overall 10/10
