Dang dude, the infants in this comment section saying 3. It’s clearly 5, there is no other answer.
As one of those infants, yeah. ESB is a technically superior film. RotS is in the top spot purely for nostalgia reasons.
Watching through them all with my daughter, started at 1, just finished 5. It’s full of errors, like Obi Wan saying that Yoda had trained him and that he (Obi Wan) was as rash and impatient as Luke was. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that the people making episode 5 hadn’t even seen episodes 1 or 2 and barely paid attention to episode 3!

My answer is 3 because of the Anakin Obi-Wan fight. Is there anyone that likes 3 for a different reason?
Order 66 and how everything came together was cool
Grievous, lots of Jedi doing Jedi things, the hot start with Anakin and Obi-wan going in alone to save the chancellor, did I say Grievous?
Don’t forget Mace Windu’s fight with Palpatine, the only person who could outright beat him 1 on 1 (other than maybe Vader if he had the guts to actually try). Though I don’t know why he had to wind up for that killing blow; that seems like a big writing/directing error. It’s a lightsaber, just dip it down inside his face briefly and then scold Anakin for leaving the council chambers.
If you thought about ewoks you’re old
Rogue One is the best in my opinion
Dude… Its obviously the first movie, 4.
ESB, SW, tFA, RotJ, Solo, R1, Mandalorian, Andor, RotS, Kenobi, RoS, tLJ, tPM, AotC, … Holiday Special.
If 7 is the best Star Wars, then I’m the best human. Suck it!
The logic is flawless.
When they saved the whales
Exterminate! Exterminate!
Good effort, Crewman.
Empire stands high above the rest. The characters are fleshed out and the structure of the film is impeccable, the story just flows.
Kershner was the best director the series had.
There is only one good Star Wars film, ESB.
Yeah, I can only imagine gen Z who didn’t see the originals first and instead saw the prequels in theaters would put 3 over 5. For me the gap between 5 and the others is just massive, but I also love Star Wars and to me no movie has lacked that specific magic. Even if I need to turn my brain completely off for 2, 7 and 9 to be able to enjoy them…
5,4,6 The rest are largely rubbish but the ending of 3 was solid.

I didn’t mind 7 at all.
It’s just 8 and 9 that retroactively made it shit.
6 is where it started to turn into a toy advert.
Hmmm… It’s a toss up between Rogue One and the Ewok Holiday Special.
Holiday special was tv. Which means it would have to go below Andor
4 + 3 = Rogue One
It’s almost correct, in the sense that Rogue One is the prologue (postlogue?) to Andor, which is the best SW media even tho it’s not a movie.
Could be either depending on the order you watch them, but I’m really getting the giggles thinking about Rogue One ending with a record scratch and “I bet you are wondering how I got here!”
(postlogue?)
Epilogue? Haven’t seen Andor yet so don’t exactly know what you’re looking for.
Presequel
Prequel?
Presequel was used by the Borderlands game that comes between 2 and 3. In the same vein, Andor/Rogue One are the sequels to Episode 3 and the prequels to Episode 4.
Let’s just renumber them all again, so Rogue One is 4, Andor is 5, and A New Hope is 6. That makes Empire 7, proving the OP correct.
So an interquel, then?
WATCH ANDOR
(postlogue?)
epilogue
Rogue One was good, but it wasn’t exactly Empire.
Absolutely. Star Wars is at its best when it gets away from the goddamn Skywalker.
5,4,6,3,R1,8,2,HardwareWars,7,1,Holiday Special,9
I’d watch AotC a dozen times back to back before watching TLJ again.
I’d squeeze both Spaceballs and The Last Starfighter into that list between 6 and 3.
My personal order from best to worst Saga movies would be:
5, 4, 6, 3, 2, 1, 7, 8, 9
1 and 7 are kind of on equal footing for me (ranking is almost interchangeable), but overall I think TPM was just kind of a bad start to the Prequels (though they got better), whereas TFA was actually a somewhat strong start to the Sequels that got exponentially worse.
shakes finger at post that’s bait.
