About this episode

The episode ranks the 7-9 range of Star Wars films, discussing their divisiveness and impact on the fanbase.

This segment of the list is bound to be controversial. It contains the two most divisive Star Wars films ever released - one that has developed a stronger appreciation over time, and one that may have permanently fractured a fanbase. And adding to the controversy is a film that has skyrocketed into the top three for a number of Star Wars fans, but is entrenched in the lower half of this list. So which films are in the number 7-9 range? And why did they perform better than the last three films on the list, but failed to make the top six? Join host David Quinn for part one of a new series that ranks the first 12 Star Wars films: the original trilogy, the prequels, Disney’s sequel trilogy, the two standalone anthologies and one animated release. This is a look at a trio of films that impacted the franchise in major ways. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production! *NOTE: The Mandalorian and Grogu is not included in this list, as it is too new of a release, but will be included in next year’s rankings.
