So one Star Wars flick clearly stands heads and shoulders above the rest with CS readers, and that is 1980’s Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back! The dark middle chapter of the Original Trilogy has been the go-to pick for most fans for decades, and the Sequel Trilogy really hasn’t changed that at all. Fans seem to have voted strictly on trilogy lines, giving the beloved OT the first three slots. 2016’s Rogue One and 2005’s Revenge of the Sith also got a lot of love. The new movie Rise of Skywalker fared the best of the Sequel Trilogy with a mere 5% of the vote, though none of those three got many votes. Solo: A Star Wars Story performed the poorest among the live-action theatrical movies, pulling in a measly 16 votes.
