OP you have good taste desu. I'd probably place ROTJ a bit higher though.
>>63733090
I agree
>>63733090
III > II > I > VI > IV > V
THERE FIXED IT FOR U
>>63733193
This.
ROTJ had the GOAT throne room sequence, and the best space battle in any of the films. The Ewoks were an acceptable quirk.
VII is an soulless MCW-ized, SJW-ified remake of IV, without any of the wit, charm, or originality that the real SW film had.
But it's still better than II, I guess...
This is literally JUST the type of rehash I was expecting, it's nothing but a glib facsimile.
If Star Wars was all I had access to as a child in terms of sci-fi I probably would become one of those crazy fanboys, but thankfully I had access to anime from very early on in my youth years that my mental balance is very stable.
Seriously, if you have watched Akira, you'd realize just how sophisticated anime is and it blows away anything Star Wars would have to offer.
A lot of people mention Ghost In The Shell, which has just enough of sexuality in the mix to draw in the western audience I suppose but I must say that Ghost In The Shell is not even in my top 10 anime, not even close, that's just how deep the world of anime is.
Some anime is so disturbingly mature like Fractale that I wish it would challenge the system and submit it as a Drama category in the Oscars just to bitchslap the snotty Academy.
It's not just the level of maturity and sophistication anime has, it's also quite original, entertaining, and visually fantastic. I would regard anime as the highest form of cinema art-form.
But hey, me preaching about anime won't do you any good, you gotta go out and see it for yourself just how much you are missing.
The recent one I would recommend to check out is Sword Art Online which is light and easy to get into anime for the first time yet appreciate it as much, but if you want the heavy stuff right off the line check out Guilty Crown in which the plot is so complex and twisted that you'll need extra oxygen pumped into your brain in order to comprehend everything, and if you want amazing visuals and a gripping drama that also has awesome mecha battles Aldnoah.Zero is the shit.
Seriously, if you know anime like I do, Star Wars looks like it's something for little kiddies..
I really wish the "Episode III is good" meme would die

VII is not canon, so it can't be included in this list.

>>63733344
Between the Sarlaac Pit and the space/throne room sequence, it's very slow and easily the weakest of the OT
If we look at the EU, it's literally a rehash of the OT. Worst things about VII>Edgelord Ren
Soundtrack
Rey's sudden ability to use the force without any training except a non force sensitive person told her she was force sensitive.
Wasn't perfect by star wars standards. But it's pacing and exposition delivery is better than II, I, and VI

Part two is actually bretty good
Fuck off
The prequels were much better written, they had actual characters and story, not a bunch of memes and one-liners that lack any emotion or coherence. Luke is a cliched everyboy "hero" that goes through an absurdly rapid transformation between the fifth and the sixth episodes. Anakin's emotional instability and his exposure as a psychopath are gripping; and his doomed relationship with Padme is touching. In the "original trilogy" Han, Leia, Darth Vader and Obi Wan are complete meme characters, nothing about them is remotely believable or human. And why doesn't anyone care about deaths in those movies? Leia's planet destruction, Luke's stepparents' death, all of the blown up rebels--the list could go on--all the deaths are forgotten moments later.
As for direction, the movies from the "original trilogy" were mostly incoherent, badly edited and full of logical problems. The prequel trilogy is a work of a "vulgar auteur".
I feel neutral about the series overall, and honestly don't care about trolling or contrarianism. Here are my sincere rankings:
1. "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
2. "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
3. "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
4. "Star Wars"
5. "The Empire Strikes Back"
6. "Return of the Jedi"
7.
8. "The Force Awakens"

Solid list.
>>63733621
Episode 1 is terrible, but it's terrible in a ridiculous and over-the-top way, it's got entertainment value. Episode 2 is just as shitty, but it's also boring and pretentious. 2 is the worst.

He's got a point here (though emotional shit probably would've bogged the movies down)

V>IV>VII=VI>III>I>II
>>63733884
It has a higher percentage score than a new hope and empire strikes back and the only reason why it has a lower score out of 10 is due to having way more reviews.
>>63733090
Agree with the exception of the III = VI. Definitely the weakest of the three, but IV and V set the bar pretty high
I submit V > IV > VI > VII > III > I > II
All-Around Perfect Movie Classic Tier:
IV
Great Outside of an Extremely Weak Second Act Tier:
V
A Few Severe Missteps Tier:
VI

Aside from the problems around basing an opinion on film quality around a review. What are you going to do when reviews sour?
>>63734083
Oh, and stick in the 'No Studio Exec Ever Got Fired for Hiring Abrams to Direct Their Reboot' tier between III and I
>>63734083
> 2nd act weak?
Yoda's training is one of the best moments in Star Wars.
>>63733090
I'd switch III with VI, otherwise it's perfect
>>63733899
Mein nigga
>>63734132
Yoda's training was good, although some of his sthick wore thin quickly, but my problem is more that Han and Leia's plot between Hoth and Cloud City is there almost solely to kill time while said training continues.
I really like Episode I for some reason, maybe because of Based Neeson and Ewan, and the Tattooine scenes are great. Portman is detestable but the rest of the cast are pretty good.
>>63733730
Ascension Guns!
>>63734175
The sthick doesn't wear thin until you become a jaded adult and even then it's still a source of magic, wonder and nostalgia when you return. The 2nd act, whilst it appears time killing, is actually an important low action moment used to develop Leia and Hans relationship. If JJ had kept this in mind maybe episode VIII would be a little less episode III tier.
V > IV > VI > III > VII > II >>>>>>>> I
>>63734246
I agree, I'm just using it to differentiate between IV and V. IV is strong and steadily ramps up in terms of adventure the whole way through, V's second act runs slow and lags a bit. Hence, IV is the better movie, while V takes second place.
>>63733090
>III > VII =VI
The point of faggotry.
>>63733525
But I am SO in love with YOU.
>>63733976
And Obi Wan vs robot lizard
And the long fight between Obi Wan vs Anakin
The entire "who is the sith" plot is a Dora the Explorer episode
Anakin's "fall" after he was already evil in ep2 was forced and carried no real emotional weight
The entire ending feels like a quick "cut and tie" so the movie would lead into the original trilogy
The movie is legitimately bad. As a part of Star Wars and on its own, it's a bad movie.
>Spectre gets mediocre reviews because its too similar to other James Bond movies
>Star Wars 7 gets exceptional reviews despite being an almost shot for shot remake of A new hope
>>63733380
Why don't you die? 7 suffers because of lack of Sheev spins
Not meming, I loved the prequels so my list is

>>63733090
I won't prove you wrong because you're right.
>>63734104
>What are you going to do when reviews sour?
nobody cares by that point
prequel reviews were mostly great when the movies premiered
>>63734524
the actor who played Sheev really did carry that movie by himself. he realized what a clusterfuck it was and knew that hamming it up as much as possible was the only way to salvage any kind of entertainment value from the wreckage
Phantom menace sucked because of gungan bullshit and uncanny valley 3D cgi and a little boy named dickwad. But the parts where nobody was talking is where the movie excelled.
The highlights everyone enjoyed was the pod racing and the Darth Maul fight.
If the characters shut the fuck up more the movie would be good.
Attack of the clones suffered from the love plot.
Revenge suffered from fucking moronic idiocracy of the council and painfully obvious poor decisions.
>>63734758
The trade federation's motivations made no sense in 1, and the clone wars itself was a ridicules cartoon of robots fighting clones. To fix the prequels you would have to completely start from scratch
>>63734758
>the pod racing
space ben hur that feels like a waste of time and never really develops any sort of tension
It does look cool, though.
>and the Darth Maul fight.
The Darth Maul fight's music, maybe. The fight itself is boring, lifeless choreography followed by stupidity.
That ONE moment where Obi Wan is waiting to rush in, though, that's golden.
Happy little accidents.
>>63734793
Anything Trade Federation fails because it was just Lucas sinking his hand in the Dune barrel again.
Only he forgot why the Navigator's Guild was important in the Dune universe in the first place, and instead made a bunch of asians with robots.

You literally can't.
>>63734963
Normally, by the time that scene happens, you forgot about everything that happened in the beggining.
Because it was really stupid and didn't matter.
>>63734998
Menace is worse than Clones.
QED
>>63734846
The Darth Maul fight was a good fight, all things considered. Just didn't carry any story weight, unlike the O.T.
But unlike the rest of the prequels, it had some well shot stuff. You have to admit the Darth Maul introduction in the scene was pretty good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-L2K2f2YWM
>>63735016
You reckon. I wasn't sure. I thought about putting them at the same tier, but Clones, aside from an equally bad story, LOOKS like complete shit. Menace actually looks more polished.
I guess it doesn't have fucking Little Anakin and it's got some okay stuff story wise with Emo Anakin.
But it's like arguing about which pile of dog shit tastes better.
>>63735085
I'll still say most of it is due to the god-tier soundtrack. And Darth Maul's design.
Absolutely everything else is too... well, boring. Posing and posturing and the milquetoast camera distance that doesn't try to get personal with close ups but doesn't set up a good action scenario with full body shots either.
But to be honest that's getting too bloody nitpicky.
>>63735200
No, it's the close ups and punch in's that are cool for me. I mean, it's small, but it's something. It's better than the shit we have to endure later in the prequels, even if it's not quite O.T. Also the CGI backgrounds really don't help, watching that back now.

LOL what the hell this is everywhere
1. Star Wars
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Force Awakens

ROTJ is so massively overrated just because it followed up the phenomenal ESB and gave us a happy ending. It's just a poorly written movie and they ran out of ideas so they blew up an even less daunting version of The Death Star.
>>63733362
Actually you kind of have a point
This is the first Star Wars I don't care about watching.
The prequels sort of diminished my interest in the series, as much as the bad video games and lack of KOTOR.
I don't really care much for this movie. May suck, hard.
Most fans of this series are old. New kids may not flock to it as much as they think. Disney is also gonna milk this.
The marketing and merchandising is overkill.
Darth Maul is the best character of the prequels and killed
the prequels are bullshit like your mother

You know it to be true
I think the soundtrack is fine. Overall, I think this is a safe springboard for the next two films to really shine. If they're just as bland then we can say that they truly squandered the potential, but it's ridiculous to compare this to the prequels.
I would say it is on par with VI, because it doesn't do anything original. It's just a safe Star Wars film that takes a lot from A New Hope, but it's not really bad. Just a little boring.
We'll know for sure once 8 comes out. But if that's bad you'll have to listen to people excusing 9 because "3 was the best of the prequels". If anything though, the sequel has the best chance of being the strongest of the trilogy.
>>63736150
>6 better than 5
>>63736165
Jedi's always been my favorite, I apologize for nothing.
>>63736090
Lucas did that because there was supposed to be a sequence in ANH of Luke racing his friends in T-16s
This would establish what a great pilot he was, right?
Cut for time and effects being no good
>>63733090
Swap 3 and 7 and you're right. The thing about this one is that for every good moment (the assault on the castle, the sabre fight) you get two that feel almost lifted from 4 verbatim. Maybe it's just me, but it would have been nice to get a reason why the Republic wasn't fighting the First Order itself and whyits' entire fleet was around it's main planet seriously what the fuck who wrote that? And Hans death, while it was well acted, didn't seem to have a real meaningful impact for some reason
>>63736143
That would have been a good trick.
>>63736156
Wouldn't that be RotS apologists since they saw it before the original trilogy when they were like 8 and thought its the best thing ever?
