ranking star wars movies

The Star Wars movies came first. They debuted in the 1970s and laid the foundation for the franchise.

The main Star Wars movies typically follow a continuous and overarching storyline that progresses through a series of films. In contrast, 'Star Wars A Star Wars Story' is more of a standalone or anthology - type of story. It can be set in different time periods, explore different aspects of the Star Wars lore, and often has a more self - contained plot. For instance, it could be about a smuggler's adventure on a far - flung planet that has little direct connection to the main Skywalker - centric story. This gives it the freedom to be more experimental in terms of story and character development.

The Star Wars movies in story order start with 'The Phantom Menace'. It introduced us to young Anakin Skywalker. Then comes 'Attack of the Clones' which further develops Anakin's story and the political unrest in the galaxy. 'Revenge of the Sith' shows Anakin's fall to the Dark Side. Next is the original trilogy starting with 'A New Hope', where Luke Skywalker begins his journey. 'The Empire Strikes Back' is a darker chapter, and 'Return of the Jedi' brings the first six movies' story arc to a close. And finally, the sequel trilogy continues the story many years later.

The fact that it focuses on the mission to steal the Death Star plans makes it unique. It's more of a heist - like story within the Star Wars universe.

Well, it focuses on the origin story of Han Solo. We get to see how he became the smuggler we know from the other movies.

It's unique because it dives deep into Han Solo's backstory. We see his early days, his first encounters, and how he got his hands on the Millennium Falcon. It also shows a different side of the Star Wars universe, with new locations and characters that we haven't seen much of in the main saga.

Yes, they are to some extent. While they follow the general Star Wars aesthetic, in 'Solo' we see some new designs and variations. For example, the blasters might have different attachments or a slightly different look to fit the story's setting which is more about the origin of Han Solo and his early adventures.

Compared to other Star Wars movies, 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' is more focused on the origin of a single character. While the main trilogies deal with larger galactic conflicts, this movie zooms in on Han Solo's development. It has a different feel, more of a heist - like adventure in the Star Wars universe.

My top 5 are 'The Empire Strikes Back', 'A New Hope', 'Return of the Jedi', 'The Force Awakens' and 'Rogue One'. 'The Empire Strikes Back' has that great twist. 'A New Hope' started it all. 'Return of the Jedi' had an epic conclusion. 'The Force Awakens' brought new energy and 'Rogue One' was a great prequel story.

Yes, there were. Some Star Wars comics were released before the movies came out.
