if we're being honest honest
God-Tier: Empire (to me, the best by a considerable margin) Rogue One Mandalorian
Mediocre: New Hope Jedi Revenge of the Sith Last Jedi
Dogshit: Phantom Menace Attack of the Clones (tied with Last Skywalker for the smelliest pile of dogshit) Force Awakens Solo Last Skywalker (tied with Clones) Boba Fett
haven't seen Obi-Wan show
In my opinion, Empire is great because it picks up the first installment and leads to the third installment and still succeeds as a standalone movie. You could go into Empire knowing nothing about Luke, Leia, or Vader and still be totally immersed in the story. I don't even know if I need to bother showing New Hope to my kids, they'll be bored for the first hour and half of it isn't even essential (Luke in particular, our hero, SUCKS in New Hope. Total chump.) But every single minute of Empire serves a purpose. It's expertly paced, acted, and shot. I think of that movie like American film canon, like Godfather, Jaws, Back to the Future, Goodfellas, etc.
So, yea I think it's a pretty hot take to think Rogue One is better than Empire.
