ranking star wars movies

Some of the top - ranked Star Wars novels include 'Heir to the Empire' by Timothy Zahn. It was very popular as it continued the story after 'Return of the Jedi' in a really engaging way. Another highly ranked one is 'Darth Plagueis' which gives a lot of backstory about the Sith. And 'Lost Stars' is also well - liked as it tells a love story set within the Star Wars universe, which is a different take on the usual action - oriented stories.

The Star Wars movies came first. They debuted in the 1970s and laid the foundation for the franchise.

The main Star Wars movies typically follow a continuous and overarching storyline that progresses through a series of films. In contrast, 'Star Wars A Star Wars Story' is more of a standalone or anthology - type of story. It can be set in different time periods, explore different aspects of the Star Wars lore, and often has a more self - contained plot. For instance, it could be about a smuggler's adventure on a far - flung planet that has little direct connection to the main Skywalker - centric story. This gives it the freedom to be more experimental in terms of story and character development.

The Star Wars movies in story order start with 'The Phantom Menace'. It introduced us to young Anakin Skywalker. Then comes 'Attack of the Clones' which further develops Anakin's story and the political unrest in the galaxy. 'Revenge of the Sith' shows Anakin's fall to the Dark Side. Next is the original trilogy starting with 'A New Hope', where Luke Skywalker begins his journey. 'The Empire Strikes Back' is a darker chapter, and 'Return of the Jedi' brings the first six movies' story arc to a close. And finally, the sequel trilogy continues the story many years later.

To rank Star Wars novels, you can consider different aspects. The sales figures are one indicator. Novels that have sold a large number of copies are likely to be popular and thus rank high. Then there's the critical acclaim. If professional reviewers and Star Wars experts praise a novel for its plot, world - building, and character arcs, it should be ranked well. For instance, 'Thrawn' has received a lot of positive reviews for its portrayal of the brilliant strategist. Also, how well it has been adapted or referenced in other Star Wars media can contribute to its ranking.

The fact that it focuses on the mission to steal the Death Star plans makes it unique. It's more of a heist - like story within the Star Wars universe.

One of the main criteria is character development. A novel like 'Revenge of the Sith' novelization does a great job of getting into Anakin's head and showing his fall. Another factor is the world - building. 'The Old Republic: Revan' creates a whole new and exciting part of the Star Wars universe. Also, the writing style matters. 'Scoundrels' has a fun and engaging writing style that makes it stand out. All these elements play a role in ranking the best Star Wars novels.

My top 5 are 'The Empire Strikes Back', 'A New Hope', 'Return of the Jedi', 'The Force Awakens' and 'Rogue One'. 'The Empire Strikes Back' has that great twist. 'A New Hope' started it all. 'Return of the Jedi' had an epic conclusion. 'The Force Awakens' brought new energy and 'Rogue One' was a great prequel story.

Yes, there were. Some Star Wars comics were released before the movies came out.

No, they aren't. The new Star Wars movies are mainly based on the original Star Wars universe and its expanded lore rather than directly on comics.
