Star Wars: Every Movie & TV Show Ranked Worst To Best
4. The Last Jedi
Without question the most divisive addition to Star Wars's mighty back catalogue, The Last Jedi followed on from the cliffhanger of The Force Awakens, as Rey seeks a reclusive Luke's guidance in honing her skills as a Jedi.
Directed by Rian Johnson, The Last Jedi digs into the characters at its centre more intensely than any Star Wars vehicle before or since, as Luke grapples with the results of his regrettable actions, Rey struggles to control her mysterious powers, and Kylo Ren seesaws between villainy and anti-hero.
On top of that, it's also the most visually beautiful chapter of the entire saga, rich with vibrant colour, impressive set pieces, and a final act showdown between Luke and Kylo that's one of the best scenes of the franchise.
It's not flawless - Leia travelling through space is far too silly, whilst the Finn and Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) subplot feels like directionless filler - but it's a daring adventure that takes risks and makes them work much better than expected.
