From Worst to Best Star Wars


Star Wars Ranking

Eligible Movies: Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One,A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Force Awakens, The Last Jedi

9) Phantom Menace- I love all Star Wars movies but this one out of the bunch is the weakest. The movie is SLOW. The dialogue is bad…..its saving grace is the pod race and the final battle which has multiple fronts. In particular, it has a beast lightsaber fight, which at the time was the best. Anakin, Qui Gon, And Obi Wan are great in this movie, but then there’s Jar Jar …..nuff said. Lol. (7.5)

8) Attack of the Clones-Okay I admit it, I like this movie more than PM. I mean it is also SLOW. However it plays out like a mystery movie so its cool. The sequence at the end is better than PM’s scene. Seeing Yoda fight for the first time is awesome. The dialogue might be the worst in the saga. I did like Anakin here however, albeit he would only be cooler in ROTS. (8)

7)Rogue One- This is a good movie. The narrative is STRONG. It’s a story we didn’t ask for but its well-presented. The biggest problem is it is a filler type of movie. I mean the characters are kind of weak. It’s like I can’t really get invested in it. The blind dude was easily the coolest character. It’s cool to see how the Rebels succeed, but I don’t really care. Great dialogue and a couple of strong Darth Vader appearances propel this to a near tie with the TFA. (8.5)

6) Force Awakens-I loved this the first time I saw it. Its problem is it has its entire formula ripped from A New Hope. I mean completely. It’s like they repackaged ANH for 2015. With that aside, it’s a good film. The characters are GREAT. I feel that was all that propelled it over RO. The murder of Han Solo was really like the only great moment here. But overall, I’d say the dialogue and pacing was pretty good. Let’s just hope The Last Jedi will not be ESB rehash. (9)

5) The Last Jedi-I love this movie because it expands on the mythos of star wars. There’s so many critical story points that blew me away. I would have liked Luke to go out in an actual fight….And Snoke’s death was so unexpected and awesome!! It’s a terrific film with lots of shocking moments. The movie is also the longest star wars to date….and technically…its not a cliffhanger lol. (9.0)

4)A New Hope- Now we’re into the top movies. ANH is great on so many levels. It was the first movie. Its biggest flaw is the pacing and the lack of action. However even with that said the last action sequence is SOOOO GOOOOD. This is how cinema is done right. Old Obi is great, as is Luke, Leia, Han…and of course Darth Vader. (9.5)

3)Return of the Jedi- This is my personal favorite movie, but I will admit its not the best. I think this is mostly nostalgia, it being above ANH. The pacing is great. It puts you right into the action from the opening sequence. Albeit ROTS did it better than any SW movie. The middle of the movie is a little slow, but the end is SO AWESOME…It can bring tears of joy to your eyes. (9.5)

2) Revenge of the Sith-This movie had so much ground to cover and so many questions to answer. I thought Anakin and Obi Wan both had strong performances. However no one out did Palpatine. He was the real star of the show. This one had tolerable dialogue and the best lightsaber fights to date in the saga. It has tons of action as well. Also the narrative was really strong and surprising even when I thought I knew what to expect. ROTS is only outdone by one Star Wars movie to date…. (9.5)

1)      Empire Strikes Back-Maybe you’re surprised, but odds are, you’re not. This movie has it all. Great action, great dialogue, a strong narrative, and wait it’s a cliff hanger too. Sure the shocking reveal at the end is part of what makes this a great film, but it’s not just that. It’s a darker film than a ANH. Also it seems like all the characters are on top of their game, especially Darth Vader. The pacing is pretty much perfect too. That lightsaber battle tho….dope. (10)

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
