I suck at rating but...

Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
The Force Awakens
Return of the Jedi
Rogue One
Revenge of the Sith
Attack of the Clones
The Phantom Menace

A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Force Awakens all get 10/10 from me.
Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One get 9/10.
Return of the Jedi gets 8/10.
The Phantom Menace gets 6/10.
Attack of the Clones gets 5/10.

And then there's the Clone Wars movie...3-4/10 is about right.

As for how I rank them:
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
The Force Awakens
Rogue One
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Clone Wars

Overall: my second most favorite film franchise (LOTR beats it by a margin)!

I normally don't go with ratings so exact but it being Starwars and easier to judge against each other...

Empire Strikes Back - 10/10
A New Hope - 9.5/10
Rogue One - 9/10
Return of the Jedi 8.5/10
The Force Awakens 6.5/10
Revenge of the SIth 6/10
The Phantom Menace 5.5/10
Attack of the Clones 5/10

Basically a massive gap between the originals plus Rogue One and everything else. The prequels flaws have been well commented on but I thought The Force Awakens was vapid action nostalgia on a similar level to Jurassic World. Honestly whilst its lacking in such overt flaws I find it a more depressing film than the prequels since at least there was some degree of ambition there however much Lucas's failings handicapped it, Abrams film just felt so totally safe and lacking in ambition to me.

1. A New Hope
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. The Force Awakens
4. Return of the Jedi
5. Rogue One

Fairly close to this

Sounds like Adam Blampied Logic to me.

The Force Awakens - Fun, heartfelt, inspired -
The Empire Strikes Back - Prefer the original version -
Attack of the Clones - Fun, flawed, and Anakin is dumb -
Rogue One - Severely flawed, but I liked the movie -
The Phantom Menace - Sort of fun, Jar Jar Binks, Trade Federation -
Revenge of the Sith - Unintentionally funny, demystified Vader badly -
Star Wars - Prefer the original version, Greedo shot first, Jabba -
Return of the Jedi - Prefer the original version, musical number, Sarlacc beak, Anakin ghost, "No" -

edit: updated ratings of Phantom, Rogue One, and sorted the list in ranking order

I expected the force awakens to be divisive, given you can argue its better than the prequels although Rogue one? I thought that was clearly trash.

Honestly I tend to think that whilst not quite as successful Rogue One feels a hell of a lot closer to the general praised Empire Strikes Back than Abrams film but I don't think that's a style that's in fashion much these days.

The Force Awakens to me felt very much like his Trek formula shifted to Star Wars depending on a constant rollercoaster of action, humour, nostalgia, etc rather than actually building up an effective story. Good for one reasonably entertaining cinema viewing but I don't think it holds up to any kind of serious thought or repeat viewings very well.

Here I was thinking that he was forcing Star Trek to follow a Star Wars formula...

I may run the series again and then put together a ranking.

Honestly I tend to feel a lot of the analysis we've seen on that subject from the likes of Red Letter Media feels like playing to an audience of modern less ambitious Hollywood films.

I mean the originals are obviously action blockbusters yet I think theres much more to them that for me in terms of depth of character/morality/setting and half a foot still remaining in the new wave.

I understand I was most dissapointed in TFA, although it remained somewhat coherent in terms of story and characters. Rogue one (IMO) is a chopping mess although with the better action. Basically they are both throw away films and have entirely lowered my expectation of this series and spin off series being any good.

ANH - 6/10
ESB - 6/10
RotJ - 4/10
TPM - 5/10
AotC - 4/10
RotS - 6/10
TFA - 5/10
Rogue One - 4/10

Mediocre series, yet to release a good movie

I tend to think the reverse with Rogue One, the films main weakess was that it became a bit dry during the middle of the climatic battle, improved again as the characters started to be killed off though.

It is obviously a shift from the norm with blockbusters these days in terms of characterisation though that has become incredibly broad acting/writing. Again though for me I found it a good deal closer to something like Empire Strikes Back that I think would get a very mixed reception were it released today.
