I’m not 100% sure about my ranking (except for maybe my top 3) but here it is.
11) The Rise of Skywalker
10) Attack of the Clones
9) The Phantom Menace
8) Solo
7) Revenge of the Sith
6) The Last Jedi
5) Rogue One
4) The Force Awakens
3) Return of the Jedi
2) A New Hope
1) The Empire Strikes Back

I stopped reading once I saw revenge of the sith so low

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars (The correct name of the film)
3. Rogue One.
4. Return of the Jedi.

The rest are not even worth the effort to type.

Overrated hobby.

I don't get the appeal. It's like space rangers for adults. Anyways...

Revenge of the Sith so low? Unbelievable. Sure it has some major flaws, but it really did put a cap on the real Skywalker saga very nicely.

Anyway, I don't remembery last ranking, but I do remember saying Originals > Prequels > Sequels. The originals work great on their own, but the prequels completely recontextualize (while keeping what made them Star Wars Star Wars). Something the sequels never came close to doing.

1. A New Hope
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. Revenge Of The Sith
4. Return Of The Jedi
5. Attack Of The Clones
6. The Phantom Menace
7. Rogue One
8. Caravan of Courage
9. The Battle for Endor
10. Solo
11. The Force Awakens
12. The Rise Of Skywalker
13. The Last Jedi

Here's my rankings:

12. Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi: I *HATE* this one with a burning passion! The best way that I can describe it in a nutshell is that it’s Empire Strikes Back gone awry, not to mention the fact Luke is *SO* out of character from start to finish. And that’s saying a lot, as Luke was one of my all-time favorite heroes growing up. So, I’m sorry to say this movie not only caused me to lose interest in Star Wars as a whole, but it also royally assassinated my childhood. And to that, I say: Damn you, Kathleen Kennedy… Force-damn you to *HELL*!

11. Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker: After the horror that was the last movie, I can safely say that for the first time in my life I was *NOT* looking forward to a Star Wars movie. And rightfully so: As with Force Awakens and Last Jedi, this movie gets worse every time I watch it! Also, who the hell thought it’d be a good idea for Palpatine to get laid?! On second thought, don’t answer that, I don’t even wanna know the answer! And don’t even get me started with Rey wrapping up her story arc as a Skywalker, she doesn’t deserve to be called one… She knowingly has committed identity theft, even if Luke did tell her “There are some things more stronger than blood.”

10. Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens: This is the only movie in the Sequel Trilogy that gets both better and *WORSE* with each re-watch, and that’s saying a lot on my part. Why? Because, while my hopes were set high for this movie, at the end of the day, this movie is just a rehashed retelling/carbon copy and paste of the story of A New Hope. In the end, there *ARE* little things about this movie I do like, but at the end of the day, I still think it's safe to say, Finn should’ve been the main character of the Sequel Trilogy and not Rey. Sorry, Rey fans, it’s nothing personal, it’s just that Rey is a Mary Sue no matter how you look at her. Plus, there are far stronger and more believable heroines than her, such as Sarah Conner or Wonder Woman.

09. Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones: While the action is good (there’s no denying that), the romantic scenes between both Anakin and Padmé needed a lot of work… if only George had turned to a bit of Shakespeare or some other classic stories (like Casablanca) for inspiration. But I think that it *IS* safe to say, that their love is much better than the Twilight franchise (heck, *ANYTHING* is better than Twilight). All in all, it’s nothing personal, I just think out of all the Star Wars movies before Disney bought the rights and everything, that *THIS* was the one sure fire movie Lucas needed *A LOT* of help on making.

08. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: If you were to look up the word underrated in *MY* personal dictionary, you would find this movie in my book. Not only is this movie how Attack of the Clones *SHOULD'VE* been, as it serves as a good, if not great pilot to the CGI Clone Wars animated series. I won’t deny thought, it *IS* a crying shame that his movie does *NOT* get a good amount of respect compared to the other 11 movies. Oh well, take it for what it’s worth, it’s still good clean fun at the end of the day.

07. Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace: As with Attack of the Clones, I think that George needed a lot of help when it came to *THIS* prequel. And granted, the stereotypes (Gungans being Jamaican or Neimoidian being Asian) don’t age well, but at least they make for good villains. That said, I like this film better than the former any day. Why? Because Attack of the Clones is like sand… it’s coarse, rough and irritating, and gets everywhere. That said, if only Lucas had gotten rid of Jar Jar Binks all together (or at the very least, make him a much better character). You had *ONE* job, George, just the one!

06. Solo: A Star Wars Story: Look, I’ve heard the odd complaints and all that jazz, but in the end, I *DON’T* care what most people say about this movie, I still find it enjoyable any day over the Sequel Trilogy. On top of that, I love it as much as I do The Clone Wars movie, which as I said, I find *VERY* underrated. Should more of Han’s Imperial days been shown in the movie before he becomes the smuggler we all know and love? Absolutely! Other than that, this is a fun-paced action and thrills ride that doesn’t stop. Just do your best to handle the cringy scene where the Imperial Officer chooses Han’s last name for him, I oughta know, I hate it too! So do everyone else, especially the people at “How it Should Have Ended”. Trust me when I say, Solo *SHOULD'VE* been Han’s last name from the start, kind of like what’s the case on Twist being Oliver’s last name or Potter being Harry’s last name.

05. Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith: *BEST*… George Lucas… prequel… ever! Now many of you normal audiences will say, “But Anakin’s turn to the Dark Side was a bit rushed!” And while I agree, trust me when I say, it all makes much more sense when you watch the Clone Wars CGI animated series, it fills in the necessary gaps and answers everything. So, in a way, after you watch all of that, Anakin’s turn to the Dark Side now makes logical sense. That said, I do wish that the early foundations of the Rebel Alliance deleted scenes (as well as Yoda’s arrival on Dagobah) had stayed in the final movie, as well as some clunky dialogue had been fixed. Still a great movie at the end of the day.

04. Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi: A New Hope may have started the franchise and Empire Strikes Back may be the best of the original trilogy, but at the end of the day for me personally, *THIS* one is, by far, *MY* personal favorite. Even if there are some campy elements, like the Ewoks or so on, I’d rather take this as a move any day than say… *COUGH-COUGH!* the Sequel Trilogy. Anyway, not only is this where the mainstream movies *SHOULD’VE ENDED*, it’s also a fulfilling ending of the series, not just for Luke and friends, but also, Anakin, who truly brings the Jedi "Chosen One" prophecy to a close.

03. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: Now *THIS* is how you do a Star Wars spin-off movie. Not only does it a much needed story we need to see from start to finish, it reminds us *WHY* we (as an audience) all fell in love with Star Wars in the first place. I won’t deny it *IS* a similar story in the vein of the Dark Forces video game, but at the end of the day, that is why I love it. Now if only we could just get some movie that shows how the Rebels got the plans to the 2nd Death Star, and if not… Well, I’ll always have the Shadows of the Empire book, soundtrack, comic book and video game.

02. Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope: The original one that started it all. Whenever I think of big name franchises, this is one entry that comes to mind faster than you can say, “But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!” Good job, George… You knew how to tell a great story and kick-off a beloved franchise to share with the whole world! I was a kid when I saw the original version of the movie, just two years before the Special Editions came out. This movie serves as a reminder why I (like Luke before me) took *MY* first step into a large world, and noted I don’t mean just our planet Earth, I mean *ALL* of pop-culture.

01. Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back: What can I say needs to be said about *THE* best movie in the franchise that hasn’t been said yet? Nothing, that’s what! Not only is it the fan favorite and for all the right reasons, it serves as a reminder not only *HOW* to make a movie, but also how to make a sequel. The Force is definitely, and always will be, strong with *THIS* one!
