A Definitive Ranking of The Main 'Star Wars' Movies Within The Film Franchise

Star Wars is one of the best film franchises of all time, But there is no denying that some of the installments may not have lived up to par as well as some of the others. So here is a definitive ranking of all of the Star Wars films (released as of March 2019).

1. Return of the Jedi

This installment is by far the best. There is so much happening between Vader and Luke and then we also have Jabba the Hut and Han Solo and the entire movie is just one thrill ride.

2. The Empire Strikes Back

A very close second, this installment is also extremely entertaining. The story finally comes out between Darth Vader and Luke and we meet Lando along with some other pretty. cool supporting characters. This movie also brings us the great love story that is Han and Leia and we will forever be grateful for that.

3. Revenge of the Sith

This film is so cool. If I had to choose one word to describe it would be cool. We find out how Anakin became Vader and what happened between him and Obi-Wan along with what will come of the republic! It all leads in to the original trilogy so smoothly and it is incredible to watch them all come together!

4. A New Hope

Not one I'd personally choose to watch on a normal day but definitely a good one because it was the original! This is where it all started and the story developed so well from this one movie.

5. Attack of the Clones

This Installment, once again while not the most interesting as a story is still pretty cool when it comes to the history, especially if you watched the original trilogy first (which you definitely should). It's crucial to Anakin's story and since they play such a huge role throughout the series you learn where they have come from also!

6. The Last Jedi

While this one is a bit better than the "The Force Awakens" it was still not very good. Maybe Episode IX will make me change my mind but I don't see that happening. This entire trilogy is based on a villain who is trying to be someone else (AKA Darth Vader which he never will be and he should really give up on that because no one can be Vader except Vader) and the main character who while isn't the worst character just doesn't have good enough supporting characters to make the storyline interesting. Kudos to the franchise for bringing in some diversity but this new trilogy has just really lacked the element of surprise within the storyline, with the exception of one scene, which in my opinion was a poor storyline choice, to begin with.

7. The Force Awakens

It's in this film we are first introduced to the characters within the new trilogy and not going to lie, but I thought in comparison to the old ones, it was a bit of a letdown. I mean how am I supposed to believe that Kylo Ren is to be the villain for an entire trilogy when he can barely go 5 minutes in this film without throwing a tantrum? It's not going to happen and no one will ever make me believe otherwise. Also, this one made me cry so no thank you.

8. The Phantom Menace

This one is at the body for obvious reasons. It is by far the least entertaining film in the franchise and is put there solely for storytelling purposes. I mean, yes, without this one we wouldn't fully understand Anakin's story so it's necessary but most definitely at the bottom of the rankings.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
