    Before I give my ranking, I just wanna acknowledge that I think The Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars film, but this list is based on my favorites:
    1. Return of the Jedi
    2. The Empire Strikes Back
    3. The Last Jedi
    4. A New Hope
    5. The Force Awakens
    6. Rogue One
    7. Solo
    8. Revenge of the Sith
    9. The Phantom Menace
    10. Attack of the Clones
    I’ll have to see Solo again, though, I was very back-and-forth as to whether or not Solo or Revenge of the Sith ranked higher. I really enjoyed it, but it’s far from my favorite Star Wars film. It’s easily the weakest of the Disney Star Wars films, but still really enjoyable.

    My update after Solo-

    Empire
    ROTJ
    A New Hope

    a bit of daylight for historical reasons

    Rogue One - Best by far of the new films

    A bit of daylight

    Solo - Fun film, not great, not bad. Didn't feel like I was watching Han.

    A lot of daylight - Two broken films.

    The Force Awakens
    The Last Jedi

    More Daylight to the pile of prequels. I actually found these more forgiving than TLJ for some reason.

    Revenge of the Sith
    Phantom Menace
    Attack of the Clones

    The first three movies will always stand alone as they are from my childhood and didn't need the other films.

    Ranking of what I could watch at any moment...
    (keep in mind this has nothing to do with my thoughts on quality)

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

    TLJ will probably fall to 5th later because it's too dark and intense and I like the fun romps, but it's the best 2nd for me, so this list will eventually be:

    ----a couple times a year----
    1) TFA *
    2) Solo *
    ----once a year----
    3) ANH *
    ----meh; if it happens to be on----
    4) ROTJ *
    5) TLJ *
    6) ESB *
    7) TPM
    ----even if it's free and on; probably not going watch it, but maybe----
    8) R1
    9) ROTS
    ----nope----
    10) AOTC

    Solo is just a damn fun show; right up there with TFA - nearly.

    * = Own it. For Solo, means will own it.

    Cheers,
    Jayson

    Really enjoyed SOLO will see it again. After all the backlash with TLJ which was disheartening, SOLO was refreshing. Great little film, I like it more than Rogue One, even though R1 was epic yet sad at the same time. SOLO made me smile and laugh; fan service galore, name drops like Aurra Sing:D, Tatooine ( ANH is my favorite Star Wars film. Alec Guinness' OB1, love the Jawas, Haslab please make me my Ultimate sandcrawler plzz, Luke's Black Series Land speeder sits on my desk, Han, Tarkin, Greedo, Wuher and the Cantina denizens... the list goes on and on.

    TESB is my favorite sequel of all time! Anywho, I'm hoping SOLO does well at the box office looking forward to an OB1 film with McGregor. I just hope KK/LFL is not teasing us with the Boba Fett film announcement with James Mangold. Mangold's Logan is one of my favorite non - MCU Marvel film. I just hope nothing goes wrong BTS.

    For me, no other SW films can top the OT films.

    1. ANH
    2. TESB
    3. ROTJ
    4. TFA
    5. SOLO
    6. TLJ
    7. ROGUE ONE
    8. ROTS
    9. AOTC
    10. TPM
    11. SW: TCW

    It's too early for ranking, I have to see Solo again (Tuesday, yay!).

    But, more and more I have a problem with ranking standalone movies with the Saga. Like, Rogue One was A New Hope 0.5, but Solo is so contained, much smaller story, it doesn't seem fair.

    I suspect my final ranking will have more to do with how much I enjoy the individual movies than with their other qualities.

    It's very hard for me to rank most of the films. For me, the bulk of them stand in the "really like them" category, and Solo is no exception.

    There are only two great Star Wars films--ANH and ESB. And then there are two bad ones--TPM and AOTC. Everything else is sort of middle ground. (TFA is creeping up to the "great" area but I think it'll depend on a few more years of digestion and what full payoff Ep9 gives us).

    Agreed, there are only two great SW films: ANH and ESB.

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

    YEah, I'd much rather see Obi wan in any form over any of the new characters, and if CW and Rebels counted they would be in the top 5 for me.

    9, The Phantom Menace
    10, The Last Jedi

    I haven't included the animated Clone Wars film, partially as I couldn't decide where to put it, partially because it never really felt like a film, more like an extended pilot to a tv show(still enjoyed it though).
