Rogue One is officially now in cinemas, and so what better time to revisit the entire Star Wars movie franchise and see how they all stack up?

Yes, fans are pretty vocal about George Lucas' original trilogy completely smoking the prequels, but what about The Force Awakens, The Clone Wars animated movie, and of course, the newest addition to the series, Rogue One? Where do they slot in?

Everyone's got their own passionate opinion and there's a lot of diversity among fans who pick out different things to champion or criticise. Such is the beauty of these movies and this world: Lucas, for all of his sins, has created a universe that people have fallen head-over-heels in love with, Hayden Christensen and all.

Here is every Star Wars movie ranked from worst to best...

9. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)

Essentially the black sheep of the Star Wars movie franchise (and that's really saying something), The Clone Wars is an animated movie set between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith which most fans watched once out of duty and then never, ever returned to.

Nothing more than the original opening episodes of the Clone Wars TV series mashed together to form a barely-coherent feature film, this is incredibly low-effort kiddie fare that doesn't even boast the series' signature visual splendour, cobbled together for a cheap $8.5 million. To call the animation "janky" is seriously underplaying it.

In addition, new Jedi Ahsoka Tano is seriously annoying, and only a handful of the original actors (Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson and Anthony Daniels) actually lent their voices to the production.

Best Moment: The fact it's "only" 98 minutes long, because honestly, there's nothing here that even rises to the level of "good".

Worst Moment: When Anakin catches wind of Count Dooku's latest diabolical plan, he says, "Smells like Count Dooku to me", to which Ahsoka replies, "I think it's little Stinky you smell", referring to Jabba the Hutt's infant son Rotta, who she happen to be holding.
