Star Wars Movies: Best and Worst Movies Revealed
Which Star Wars movies are the best? Well, if you’re a weirdo like me, you might think the Prequels are the best Star Wars movies(the lightsaber battles are WAY cooler OK?!). The more contemporary fans say the older trilogy is the best.

OK! Alright! I refuse to believe that ANY of the new trilogy movies are better than Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, but the results don’t lie. It seems overall the Original Trilogy is rated the highest with Empire Strikes Back leading the pack.
I guess we fans love Snow Planets and that little, green Jedi Master. If you agree with me that Episodes 1-3 are underrated, I would love to see you unite with me in the comments! If you like the Newest trilogy best and you exist, I guess you can say something too...
