As we near the end of the 2023 Capes and Tights Star Wars Week and it's time to rank our favorite live-action Star Wars movies and tv shows.
This list is compiled of all the movies and television shows based in the Star Wars Universe. We polled Capes and Tights Podcast guests Ryan Lessard, Jonathan Hedrick, Paul Eaton, our writers, as well as a few friends of Capes and Tights to determine the best list possible.
Each live-action Star Wars project was assigned a point value based on where the movie or show ended up on each respective list and added them up. The highest point total got first and the lowest last and so on.
2. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Former scientist Galen Erso lives on a farm with his wife and young daughter, Jyn. His peaceful existence comes crashing down when the evil Orson Krennic takes him away from his beloved family. Many years later, Galen becomes the Empire’s lead engineer for the most powerful weapon in the galaxy, the Death Star. Knowing that her father holds the key to its destruction, Jyn joins forces with a spy and other resistance fighters to steal the space station’s plans for the Rebel Alliance.
Crazy to think that an anthology film would be the second best rank live-action Star Wars movie, but here it is. We discussed Rogue One on the Capes and Tights Podcast prior to the release of Andor.
