    I thought I answered in this thread after TLJ/R1/Solo, but my rankings are right after TFA.

    1. ESB
    1a. ANH
    3. ROTJ
    4. Solo
    5. TFA
    6. TLJ
    7. R1
    8. ROTS
    9. AOTC
    10.TPM

    In fairness to TFA/TLJ, my feelings could change after TROS comes out. There are still a lot of unanswered questions I have about the movies (even looking at a certain plot point or character in a different context), and TROS could either boost their ratings or eventually hurt their ratings.

    Not sure why you don't plan on seeing it, but at some point when you've got 2+ hours to kill just put it on. I went to the theater with tempered expectations and ended up very much enjoying it.

    I can vouch for Solo and I had NO plans to see it when it first hit theaters. It was the only SW film I just didn't care about, but my friend sort of dragged me to the theater to see it after he heard some good reviews from his friends/family. I was shocked as I ended up loving Solo, as it is that fun film that has been lacking from SW in a long time (I think the movies try to take themselves too seriously sometimes). The movie is not for everyone because you have to buy the actor playing Han Solo (which I wasn't when I saw the trailers, but I was sold in the first 10 minutes of the movie). Solo isn't going to change the world, but I think there is still room for a fun romp in a GFFA every once in a while.

    I was never into the premise of a standalone Solo movie even when it was announced years ago. I was more motivated to see Rogue One because the story premise seemed a lot more interesting than a heist movie set in the Star Wars galaxy.

    Well, I imagine you have to have some investment in the character of Han Solo to get the most out of the film, which I don't. I like Han when he's interacting with the main characters, but I've never been wholly infatuated with him as a standalone character. This isn't just restricted to the Nu-Canon, either---I'm turning into a pretty big EU Junkie at the moment, but I don't have any interest in pursuing standalone Han stories like Paradise Snare or Scoundrels. Seeing Han go through the motions, quipping and outsmarting people before engaging in some kind of ship-to-ship chase may tickle other people's fancy, but I didn't even particularly go for those scenes in the OT (the Falcon chases in ESB being a primary example), let alone a whole film built around that.

    I'm sure the film's not the worst thing in the world, and the actors like Donald Glover probably did fine in their roles, but the film in its most basic form was something I was never interested in. It's one of the reasons I'm actually looking forward to The Mandalorian more than any of the upcoming films at the moment, because bounty hunters have always been a SW topic of interest for me.

    Han Solo simply isn't. I actually remember stating on another thread that "I tend to find more interest in Han Solo's kids as characters than Han Solo himself". At least as far as the EU goes.

    That's a fair point and that is why I would say that the movie is not for everyone. I'm probably the opposite of you as the Mandalorian doesn't even interest me or anything outside Luke, Leia, Han, Vader or OT related (I love the R1 tied to Episode 4). I still think you would enjoy the movie (it's on Netflix), but I do get why that part of a GFFA doesn't interest you. :)

    I can understand where you're coming from. I have a few franchises where my interest in the story pretty much comes to a screeching halt in the absence of the original characters (Macross being a prime example).

    Thing is, I'm not motivated to really check out the film even if it's on Netflix. With my current schedule, whatever spare time I have is becoming increasingly rare, and I'm only really willing to spare it for things that look like they'll warrant it...and this is especially true for Star Wars. One reason I shimmy around every part of the Nu-Canon like a puddle is not only because the new comics and novels come off as inconsequential & incredibly disposable, but also because the time I'd funnel into them is time I could easily put into the EU. There's hundreds of books & comics I still have yet to read, ones that actually have the steadfast continuity and massive, engrossing story arcs that require reading every issue and novel. And Solo is no exception: the 2 hours I'd likely spend snoozing through Solo is time I could've easily spent catching up with one of the Dark Horse run I'm in the middle of, or chewing through another novel in the story arc I'm currently reading.

    That's a major reason why if The Mandalorian doesn't impress me after a few episodes, I'll probably have to drop it along with everything else.
