Empire
A New.....I mean Star Wars
The Force Awakens
Return of the Jedi
The Last Jedi
Rogue One
Revenge of the Sith
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones

I guess I need to watch Rogue One again because I thought it was decent but not the amazing movie so many people seemed to think it was.

I like a tier system:

Great:

Empire Strikes Back/A New Hope

Good:

Rogue One/Return of the Jedi

Average:

Revenge of the Sith/Force Awakens/Last Jedi

Poor:

Attack of the Clones/Phantom Menace

I made the tiers where I would always watch a higher tier movie before a lower tier movie, and the movies within the tiers I would watch depending on mood.

TPM moving up the charts, despite Jar Jar!

No Wilhelm, no "bad feeling about this" really makes me buy into the whole idea of TLJ being a deliberate FU to the fans to whom the legacy matters a lot.

Name checks out.

Revisionist history at it's best....

The prequels = "overall story was coherent"???

It was coherent , badly written with poor motivations, but coherent.

The prequels weren't that good, but at least they didn't take a giant dump all over the OT.

Yeah, I would bet, just based off of what I've seen on here, that even the biggest TLJ proponent would rank Rogue One ahead of it.....well, most anyway, this is TA. We do have some oddballs on here.

The more I think about it the more I don't like The Last Jedi. It's almost like the director wanted to crap all over the whole story.

There's a video on youtube that defends TLJ saying exactly that. Further states that it made a subpar but understandable attempt at disconnecting to self from the original trilogy, prequels that shameless rehashed tOT, and TFA which was beginning to do the same thing as the prequels.

I don't know, I think the legacy of TFA depended heavily on how they handled the rest of the sequel trilogy. I think it could have been remembered as an amazing movie, and going back and watching it without the lens of TLJ i think it's probably the best movie made since ROTJ. But thanks to TLJ the legacy of TFA has been irreparably tarnished.

In TFA I liked Finn and Poe and Rey. I think there are some issues with the character of Rey, which existed in TFA as well and have been discussed in the past, but they could be overlooked. Now, those characters are more like usurpers to me rather than heroes. It's just hard for me to get over how massive of a steamy, gooey dump TLJ took all over the OT.

TLJ was a lot like the Matrix sequels. It managed to make the original movies worse.

This
Bring in a new writer that can write conversations that sound like actual people talking, and a director that doesn't make the actors look like they're made out of wood, and those are good movies. And that's because there is a good overall story arc between all the prequels.
You sound like you don't like sand.

You left out the Star Wars Holiday Special. The one where Princess Leia sang to young Chewys
