Rank the 7 episodes

[Duncan]

Can you rank the 7 episode of Star Wars? What's your favourite? Which one do you dislike the most?

Let's see you lists and the reasons why.

1: Episode Four. Simply for the memories and the thrill it gave me the first time around
2: Episode seven. For being as fun as the original trilogy and getting that back into the series
3: Episode five. Never quite as keen on this as most as it's such a middle chapter of a story, but it's still very good
4: Episode six. Death star again? Ewoks. Two things that don't quite do it, but it's still fun
5: Episode three. A great first twenty minutes and appealingly dark at times
6: Episode two. More meat to the story than episode one.
7: Episode one. I don't mind jar jar but it overdoes his norman wisdom style stuff in the end

Although it's not technically one of the episodes, I did enjoy Star Wars: the Clone Wars, which came out in 2008, because that was fun and exciting. It would probably go fourth on the list if it counted.

Pft. This is hard! Probably not a definitive list, but how I feel at the moment:
1) A New Hope - rip-roaring fun!
2) Joint The Empire Strikes Back/The Force Awakens - for different reasons. ESB is technically more accomplished than its predecessor, but not as fun, whereas TFA is close in spirit to ANH, but lacks it originality.
3) Return of the Jedi - Great fun, though perhaps too derivative of the first two, and the Ewoks are just plain silly.
4) Revenge of the Sith - An epic and satisfying conclusion to the prequels, but too po-faced.
5) Attack of the Clones - Unfortunately the bits when Anakin and Padme go off on their own are excruciating, because the rest is a great adventure.
6) The Phantom Menace - a good story in its way, with some great moments, but when I first saw it on the small screen, I realised how overly-reliant on special effects it is, with the result that it's somewhat hollow.
