Which was the first one?
Many folks dock Return of the Jedi because of Ewoks (and I get it), but the movie is loaded with epic showdowns - Rancor, Jabba, Endor Speeder chases, legion of stormtroopers against a small band of rebels, Lando versus Death Star II, Luke v Vader, Luke v Emperor. And it ends with Vader turning on the Emperor and the Death Star II exploding.
- Return of the Jedi
- A New Hope
- The Empire Strikes Back
- Revenge of the Sith
- Rogue One
- The Force Awakens
- The Phantom Menace
- Solo
- Attack of the Clones
- The Last Jedi
Most people call Empire #1, but it really didn't have much action in it to get excited about - the Hoth battle early and Luke v Vader at the end were really the only grand action. The entire middle of the movie on Dagobah and Cloud City was enveloped in slow-moving character conflicts.
The first three are obviously the best.
I also enjoy Rogue One and The Last Jedi for what they are. Rogue One is loved because it kills itself to fit into the Star Wars universe and The Last Jedi is hated because it kills the Star Wars universe for little pay off. As standalone movies, both have moments of escalation that are cool and both are way better than the prequels.
Didn't watch Solo.

As a person who is extremely anti- this entire new age Star Wars stuff... Solo is a solid film. It got carry over hate from The Last Jedi.The first three are obviously the best.

I get the hate for TLJ from fans who have been there from the jump but (incoming: possible controversial opinion) I still think it is a lot better than TFA because it is an original story and not a regurgitation of A New Hope.I thought it was a dumb idea to make a movie with someone other than Harrison Ford playing Han Solo. That might have turned a few people off as well. Once I got past that I actually enjoyed Solo quite a bit more than TFA or TLJ.
