Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

MODERATORS
Rogue One is the best in my opinion
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.
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.
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
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.
If you thought about ewoks you're old
shakes finger at post that's bait.
5, 3, 6, R1, 4, 1, 2, Solo, 7, 8, 9
R1 and 4 is really hard to decide so both can swap positions, 1 is better than 2 because of maul, Solo could be a great movie if they didn't make the whole Han background happen in a few days, 8 and 9 sucks.
Here's the controversial take: that scale starts at 7/10 and goes down from there. Because Star Wars is a mediocre series overall. And I like the stories, but making a great star wars movies seems to be out of reach for Hollywood writers and directors.
1 is better than 2 for basically every single reason you can think of. At the end of the day, 1 is simply less boring than 2.
Dang dude, the infants in this comment section saying 3. It's clearly 5, there is no other answer.
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!
As one of those infants, yeah. ESB is a technically superior film. RotS is in the top spot purely for nostalgia reasons.
Is anybody else thinking 6 was the best? Or am I crazy?
The Battle of Endor is definitely the best space battle in a Star Wars movie. People give ROTJ crap because of the Ewoks, but to me they’re a non-issue, especially by prequel/sequel standards.
I enjoy that 6 is non-stop fight scenes, its my favorite one to watch, followed by R1 then 3. 5 is objectivly the best movie, 8 & 9 are the worst...
My answer is 3 because of the Anakin Obi-Wan fight. Is there anyone that likes 3 for a different reason?
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.
Order 66 and how everything came together was cool
