I grew up with Star Wars through the games in the 90s, actually. Rebel Assault, X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Rogue Squadron... Then the Special Editions got released and I was hooked (as the only familiy member, really). I was age 14 when The Phantom Menace released.
The reason I rank Phantom Menace so high is because it just shows the boundless imagination of Lucas (podracing, droid armies). It still gave me the adventurous feeling of a 80s-90s movie but with previously unseen visual spectacle.
The sequels don't do much for me, though I like some of the characters. Last Jedi had way too much subverting expectations regarding Luke, Snoke, Rey... I don't mind a good twist, but it felt like they saw every theory video on Youtube and did the exact same opposite.
Solo was atrocious to watch. And I mean that literally. I have a hard time seeing through that dull, washed out grey drab to be excited.

To be scientific it would need to be objective. And even your descriptions lack objectivity. sorry kthxbye

Art is not purely subjective. There are qualitative aspects of art to which they can be judged. Such as technique.
If I were to subjectively rank these movies, it would be something like TESB, ROTJ, TPM, ANH, ROTS, AOTC, TROS, TFA, TLJ. But one should strive to understand what and why you feel that way and subject these movies to this criteria and see if you get the same result. So I'm sticking with my objective ranking.

But to say that yours is 100% scientific and more correct than the rest of the posters here, who have posted here and other boards together for the better part of 20 years? gtfo. you joined like yesterday.
