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.
9. Obi-Wan Kenobi Series
Ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith—in which the Jedi were destroyed by Order 66 and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, became the Sith Lord Darth Vader—Kenobi is in hiding on the planet Tatooine, watching over Anakin’s son, Luke, when he is called on a mission to rescue Anakin’s daughter, Leia, after she is kidnapped by the Galactic Empire’s Jedi-hunting Inquisitors in a plot to draw Kenobi out. This leads to a confrontation between Kenobi and Vader.
If watching the entire series is not your jam, check out The Patterson Cut by Kai Patterson for a 2.5 hour long movie version of the series.
