Do we need to go any further with this thread? That's the correct order.

I'd switch #5 and #6, that's all.

1 - Episode 5
2 - Episode 4
3 - Episode 6
4 - Episode 3
5 - Episode 2
6 - Episode 1

I can't wait until someone ranks one of the prequels over the originals. My gawd.

(1 gets extra points for being hilariously awful... where as 2 is dreadfully boring and 3... is occasionally pretty? I guess?)

6. Episode I

After watching The Phantom Menace 3D re-release recently, I truly realized how bad Jake Lloyd's acting and the god awful plot really were. At least Attack of the Clones does something with its story and moves the plot of the whole saga along, even if there's a whole middle section of nothing but poorly written interaction between Anakin and Padme.

Actually a bit of coin flip between 3 and 4, since they're both about equally bad, but E3 is prettier eye candy, so it gets the nod.

the original trilogy could go anyway as I don't really remember them, I think the one where luke is chilling with vader is 6 so I put that ahead of the rest of the OG trilogy.

I realize placing Star Wars over Empire Strikes Back is something of an unpopular opinion, but I stand by it.

And actually, I'd probably rather watch Episode 1 again before watching the original trilogy. I just know in the long run I would rate the original > new.

Ok now it gets hard distinguishing between the levels of shit. Brown is brown.

So...

4 - I, well it doesn’t have Hayden Christensen so there’s that.
5 - III, it broke my heart.
6 - II, mainly because of: “I don’t like sand”

Yeah, what we really should be doing is ranking sci-fi trilogies.

Then we can really get this circle jerk going

Where's the other half of 6 end up? And, for that matter, the Star Wars Holiday Special? And the Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker episode of The Muppet Show?

I'm not sure if 3 is less bad than 2, but Episode 1 is clearly the best of the new ones. There's at least some nice foreshadowing going on there, and Qui-Gon Jinn is pretty likeable.

I am not the biggest fan of the Star Wars Franchise, but I would say:

1)Empire Strikes Back
2) A New Hope
3) Return of the Jedi
4) Revenge of the Sith
5) Attack of the Clones
6) The Phantom Menace

Episode 1 is ruined for me by the kid playing Anakin. He drags that entire movie down.
