Blasphemy!!!! Everyone knows EMPIRE is #1, no questions asked. 😉 David Prowse (the actor who played Darth Vader) told me Empire Strikes back was his favorite Star Wars movie when I once met him at the Las Vegas Toycon at the Orleans.

I love Star Wars almost as much as I love wrestling.
for me, The Acolyte started off great with a Kill Bill vibe of a lone assassin seeking revenge one by one against a group of inidividuals, but by the end of the series it was my least favorite of the Star Wars series on Disney+
Mandalorian Seasons 1 and 2 were great and much better than Season 3
overall I personally really liked Ahsoka (probably no surprise there as I named my kitten Ahsoka as I have been a big Ahsoka Tano as I really liked the character in both the Clone Wars and Rebels) and I am really looking forward to Ahsoka Season 2 which is currently in production.
I liked Book of Boba Fett but it was still a little disappointing (like the Mandalorian, he really should have kept his helmet on more as the helmet is what I associate with Boba Fett and not the face we saw too often in the series) especially since the earlier return of Boba Fett for me was a key factor in what made Mandalorian Season 2 so great.
Obi Wan Kenobi really should noy have been fighting Darth Vader in the Kenobi series even if they maintained canon on bascially a technicality from what I understand. To me that sort of hurt the series as a whole.
Andor was overall good IMO.
for the movies, I personally liked both Rogue One and Solo probably more than most
here is where I would personally rank the Star Wars movies
5 4 6 Rogue One Solo 3 7 2 9 1 8

My top 6 would be like Zeke's except swapping 3 and 6. I still have not bothered to see 9 and I'm not sure if/when I'll get to it.

Ya know I feel like Solo is a movie I want to give another shot. THOUGH I think this and Greedo shooting first really killed Han as a bad ass character. Kind of changes him.

I’ve always like Return of the Jedi more than Empire. I was always a big Luke Stan so I guess that’s why. I would go 6 5 4 Rogue One 2 1 7 3 = 8 = 9 = Solo
I don’t like the bottom 4 movies at all.

Drew you don't like Episode III? The finale fight alone for me puts it higher up lol. The dialogue was even cleaned up by Spielberg who helped choreograph the fight too (or at least rumor suggests). The dialogue in 2 kills me.

The dialogue in 2 kills me. 3 killed the myth of Vader for me. The ultimate badass. I’ve been waiting my whole life to see this heel turn. For him to hunt down the Jedis like the comic books. The movie made me despise Anakin. I didn’t like the Mace Windu scene. I didn’t like how 5 mins later he’s full of rage and hate. This was the beginning of me realizing a lot of things are better left unexplained and why we started at a Star Wars A New Hope

But I see what you're saying Drew. I thought for sure you were gonna be like "she gave birth to twin babies and then dies of a broken heart. What kind of person doesn't pull through for the babies or if she believed in him why didn't she fight to pull through???"
