About this episode

The episode ranks the top six Star Wars films, focusing on three post-prequel films that have redefined the franchise.

Which three post-prequel Star Wars films landed in the top six? Numbers 6, 5 and 4 were movies that redefined Star Wars and introduced new worlds and characters to the galaxy, for an all-new generation of fans. Join host David Quinn for part three 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 how you continue a franchise’s legacy. 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.
