Top 8 Star Wars Films

Star Wars is probably the most celebrated and enjoyed film series of all time. It has everything, and the series itself feels not like several movies, but like an experience you've never felt before. Out of all the Star Wars movies out there, I think there are only 8 that are extremely popular with pretty much any fan, from casual the extreme. So, let's not waste any time, here are the Top 8 Star Wars Films:

8. Star Wars: Holiday Special
 


This is honestly one of the worst films I have ever seen. It has little action, no interesting dialogue or character interaction, and nothing important happens throughout. Out of these 8, this is the only one without a theatrical release, but since it is very popular with Star Wars fans due to it's release right after the first movie, and almost every cast member of the first movie being in it one way or another. Still, it's a horrible movie, definitely not recommended.

7. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)


This is the only animated film on the list, and honestly, I never saw the Animated TV series that followed this, I heard it was twice as good as this, but I never got around to it. Anyways, back to this movie, this is supposed to take place between Episode II and III, but it doesn't add much to the story, and it's only real redeeming factors being the action and animation, which are awesome. Oh, and Obi-Wan's voice actor did a good job too.

6. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
 


This movie does well with everything technical, the action, the special effects, the atmosphere, etc, but it lacks in pretty much everything else. Sure, to see some of the characters back story is kinda cool, but nothing much else is offered in this installment. I don't hate it as much as every other Star Wars fan, but it's still not up to par with some of the other films.

5. Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
 


This was a horrible movie, really going nowhere, but then the last 40 minutes happened, and they were AWESOME. It actually felt like Star Wars during those last few minutes, with it's fast action, interesting dialogue and character motivations, etc. But everything else in this movie sucked, especially the first hour and a half. Also, I wouldn't very happy that the movie was called Star Wars, and yet you rarely even see anything happen in SPACE. Just a bad movie, but worth watching for the last few minutes.

4. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
 


This movie was pretty good actually. It had good character development, good action, sure, the dialogue could have been better, and it really did lack the spirit of the original 3 movies, but as a whole, a movie that you should watch, even if the first 2 movies in the trilogy weren't all that good.

3. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back


The plot may seem messy at times, and it's unnecessarily complicated a lot, but definitely a great film, with more character development, and a huge twist that rivals Episodes 3 and 4 as the best ending of the whole series. Must watch for any Sci-Fi fan.

2. Star Wars: Episode IV - Return of the Jedi
  

Anakin Skywalker has the best character development in this movie than any other character does in the whole series. Also, the film wraps up quite nicely, nothing amazingly interesting happens at the end, it just ends, but still an outstanding movie with more unique characters and scenarios. Check it out.

1. Star Wars/Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)


The best of the series, it introduces our characters gradually and calmly, which gives viewers time to warm up to their personalities, great action, great story, great dialogue, probably one of the, if not the Best Sci-Fi film of all time.

  1. I am not a big fan of Star Wars movies but i know it meant a big deal to that generation mostly and even people now are big big fans of it. I loved the Episode 4 and consider it one of the best Sci Fi movies ever. I think i am not a big fan of Space operas :P i like Alien or 2001: A Space Odyssey type movies that are set in space.

    A very good list for sure.
