    Judging only on how much I enjoyed them on first viewing:

    ANH doesn't count as I can't remember. Watched it over and over on VHS, guess I must have liked it...

    1 ROTJ (shiny new Star Wars for 6 yr old me)
    2 RO (perfect nostalgia for 39 yr old me)
    3 ROTS (pure relief)
    4 FA (7 yr old son clearly not enjoying - distracting)
    5 ESB (that is not an ending!)
    6 AOTC (well it's better than 1999 I suppose)
    7 TPM (yay Star Wars! Oh, no, hang on this isn't right...)

    I think the best way to list them is the quality of the movie and replay value of the movie:

    Quality:
    1. ESB
    2. ANH
    3. Rogue One
    4. TFA
    5. ROTJ
    6. AOTC
    7. ROTS
    8. TPM

    Replay Value:
    1. ANH - Most replay value because it works as a Standalone
    2. ESB - Perfect movie with no flaws
    3. TFA - It's just a fun 2 hour ride
    4. ROTJ - Great things like the Throne Room, offset the bad things like theEwoks.
    5. Rogue One - This is a very well made movie, but the characters didn't resonate with me.
    6. ROTS - The best of the PT (which isn't saying much) because it has all the plot points.
    7. AOTC - Some good stuff like Kamino offset by the bad stuff like the Love story
    8. TPM - The beginning and end are good, but the whole middle section drags.

    Upon recent rewatching, I think I have to reorder a bit.
    1. ESB- Shocker, shocker, I know... ;)
    2. RO- Upon getting the DVD, I like the movie a lot more than in the cinema! Not that I didn't like it at the theater, but it was just better being able to see it closer, get a couple of things I had been confused about, and relisten to some lines I couldn't make out in the theater,
    3. ROTS- Highly underrated. Yes, "Nooooo!", some of Palpatine's sillier parts, and Padme's overall role in the movie are things that I don't like, but I say the good overweighs the bad.
    4. ROTJ- Very good music, character development, and iconic scenes, not much to say!
    5. TFA- I think I've kinda "forgiven" this one. For a time, starting last summer, I sort of resented it because of it being a rehash of ANH. After rewatching it, it rekindled the old spark of liking to this movie after seeing it in the theater. Yes, it's a rehash and there are some things that I don't like/think make sense, but like ROTS, if I like the movie itself, what do the other movies matter?
    6. ANH- IDK why, but I just don't like this one as much.
    7. TPM- Yes, this one's low on the list, but I do like it. Qui-Gon, Maul, the action scenes, and more of a glimpse at the Jedi of the Old Republic. Yes, some of it's dated and dull, and they went a little too far with Jar Jar and some of the more "lowbrow" jokes, but I don't see why it gets so much flack.
    8. AOTC- Okay... this one, I don't like very much. I like Jango Fett, some of the action scenes, and for the most part, the speeder chase, but it's dull, slow, sloppy, and has a poorly executed love story. Even the sound track feels kinda meh.
    9. TCW- Love the show (mainly season 3 forward), but this movie is very mediocre. It has some of the worst elements TCW had to offer and the animation definitely had room for improvement (which it used!), but is one that I wouldn't mind leaving out of my collection.
    All of these are just my opinion, so don't take too much out of it. I can't say that I hate any of the movies on the list, but I really think the last two are very average and mediocre. I wonder where I'll be putting TLJ....

    The Best: (aka "could watch everytime, in every Mood, at any Occasion, etc")
    The Original Trilogy

    The Good: (aka "not a 10/10, but I enjoy them everytime I rewatch them")
    The Prequels, Rogue One, TFA

    The Meh: (aka "i spend as much time mumbling grumpily at the screen as i spend watching them")
    TLJ, TROS, Solo

    PS: sorry for my strange English, having an odd Day today.

    post ST ranking:

    Rogue One
    ANH
    Empire
    Jedi
    Force Awakens
    Revenge of the Sith
    Rise of Skywalker
    Solo
    Phantom Menace
    Attack of the Clones
    Last Jedi

    last Jedi is probably around Solo in terms of quality of effects/general cohesiveness/acting/etc. it was unfortunately a disaster as a SW film because it didn’t reflect anything near established character traits, battle tactics, logic, or respect for itself let alone the audience or source material.

    Rogue One, despite the tinkering and lack of darkness at the end (that Krennic shot walking up the beach, trailers showing a save the cat turn in plotting during post production, a daddy didn’t love me thread & lover in combat thread that were both kind of tacked on, plus the usual KK Mary Sue fingerprinting (mods, don’t delete, it’s a common trait of LFL SW films under KK), is still the best SW movie. It has enough Jedi/Sith/Force content to fit in, and has three wonderful action scenes with rebel forces, only one less than the entire OT.

    ANH has a weird, cool vibe nothing else has touched since, plus, it’s the purest example of GL’s genius before he was convinced he was infallible/given total power. Plus it’s collaborative.
    Empire has been adequately praised
    Return of the Jedi has Jabba, Luke as a Jedi, peak Ford, the gold bikini, mon calamari, a-wings flying into stuff, wedge and Lando leading a huge assault action sequence, ackbar, and much more. Plus it has the Big 3 together and apart (something JJ and RJ and KK we’re unable to figure out (Ford would have done a last Jedi flashback if it had been negotiated as part of FO/ST, which only would have required a plan in place and talent and imagination (all were in short supply in ST when it came to producers and directors and script writers)

    FO plays the hits and that’s fine. Same with Solo and TROS. ROTS has that terrible romantic dialogue and some Lucas junk, but it at least slots in well as part 3 of 6 or 9 and does well with a lot of its intentionally epic moments.

    just my opinion.

    1. ESB - A masterpiece
    2. ANH - a classic
    3. TFA - soft reboot (but good)
    4. ROTJ- Luke is stuff great, but Han & Leia has nothing exciting to do
    5. TLJ - Kylo/Rey/Luke stuff is great, looks great, amazing soundtrack. But the rest is so bad(Poe & Holdo, Rose & Finn and off-putting humor)
    6. TROS - Okay scenes with Rey/Kylo. The movie is just big pile of dumb fanservice for the people who disliked TLJ.
    7. TPM - Nostalgic feelings, but its dumb. Some scenes are perfect for a 6 year old, but other are boring politics scenes.
    8. Solo - Okay performences by Glover & Ehrenreich, but its so boring
    9. R1 - The most expensive fanfilm ever made. No likeable characters and a boring story
    10. ROTS - Palpatine is great, but so boring
    11. AOTC - Worst movie ever made with 120 million dollar budget

    The savagery between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett is already a reason to watch this movie. xD

    I like Ewan as Obi-Wan in general, but there's nothing specific to AOTC I can point to and say "I like this"...sad, but true :(

    It's the same to me for 'Solo' and almost TROS (there are 2-3 scenes I like I guess).
