Just a quick follow up to yesterday’s huge post. It occurred to me that it would be interesting to list my rankings/ratings for the six Star Wars films both before and after my recent rewatch.
Note: these are using the San Francisco Chronicle’s Little Man rating system. While this is sadly no longer in use, it’s what I grew up with and find still makes the most sense. Ebert’s writeup on it is wonderful.
Before
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Revenge of the Sith
A New Hope
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
After
Empire Strikes Back
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi
A New Hope
Attack of the Clones
The Phantom Menace
It’s worth noting that nothing bumped down the ratings after the rewatch. While I harp on Phantom Menace a lot it has enough good stuff going on in it to be watchable.
