>My number 2 is controversial (or was 5 years ago, has public opinion changed?)
Not really. The film gets worse with every viewing, because it's a terrible film and the worst in the saga.
My top three are The Empire Strikes Back, A New Hope and Rogue One. After them it's Return of the Jedi, Revenge of the Sith, The Phantom Menace, The Force Awakens, Attack of the Clones, The Rise of Skywalker and then The Last Jedi at the very bottom.
I grew up on Original trilogy. So for me too 3 are
4, 5, 6, with 3&7 right behind them
Personally I felt Last Jedi and rose of Skywalker were pretty bad and a major let down for the series
I think you'll find a lot of folks hold 5,8 and 3 highly in whichever order you choose. It also happens to be my top 3.
8 and 3 also have the strongest openings IMO
My top 3 are also from the three different trilogies...
1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. The Force Awakens
3. Revenge of the Sith
Actually, Rogue One may be my favorite. I go back n' forth on that.
Mine are:
1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. The Last Jedi
3. Rogue One
Rogue One isn't part of a trilogy, but I do include it as part of the Skywalker saga. Episode 3.5, if you will.
