A recent study revealed the best and worst movies among the nine main entries in the Star Wars franchise.and unsurprisingly, the results suggest that fans prefer the originals, and obviously have a strong dislike for one recent film in particular. This study was conducted by Uswitcha UK-based price comparison service.
In a study that originally aimed to find out if the famous phrase “the first movie is always the best” really represented the opinion of viewers, the site compared films from many franchises, including Star Wars. So it combined scores from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic, as well as box office receipts and profitability. for 20 of the highest-grossing film franchises, revealing the best and worst movies from each franchise. Here is this famous classification for Star Wars films.
Without surprise, Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) is good last, having obtained the score of 3.28 (out of 10). But the latter is neck and neck with Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002), which has only a slight advantage with a score of 3.4. If episode IX appears as the worst film of the three trilogies, its immediate predecessors, Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015) and Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017), did much better, ranking third and fourth respectively, with 8.03 and 6.8.
Overall, it seems to be the prequel trilogy (1999-2005) which was considered the least attractive periodhis highest rated film being Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005), which ranks fifth with a score of 6.22.
The best Star Wars movies meanwhile came down to a much more unanimous decision, with the franchise’s first film, Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), taking first place in the leaderboard with a score of 8.48. The first sequel to the original trilogy, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) is the second highest rated film with 8.05. We then see that the average rating of the films of the original trilogy is well above the general average.which means films from 1973 to 1983 are widely preferred over prelogy, and moderately preferred over postlogy from 2015 to 2019.
The study in question did not take into account the many spin-offs and series derived from the Star Wars franchise, such as recent projects like The Boba Fett Book Where The Mandalorian. Because Star Wars has become a huge multimedia franchise, including films of course, but also series, books, video games and comics. So it’s been a while since the franchise’s styles and levels of success weren’t limited to the first three films.
