RETRO//RANKED: Star Wars (11-12): Solo & The Rise of Skywalker

from The Rolling Tape · host The Rolling Tape

In a galaxy far, far away...we started our Star Wars journey long ago. Since then, we have encountered the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, theatrical spin-offs, and now, at last, the final episode to cap off our rankings. We rank the 2 most recent Star Wars theatrical releases: Solo: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. These are two of the more controversial Star Wars entries, which create a fun conversation to close out our Season 6 rankings. We’ve made it to another season finale of RETRO//RANKED, The Rolling Tape network series in which we discuss various franchises and filmographies that we love and rank their individual entries leading up to some of the biggest new releases. Today, for the last time, we talk about Star Wars leading up to the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu. It’s so close, I can taste it. And it tastes like capitalism.Our current collaborative ranking so far:Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes BackStar Wars Episode IV: A New HopeStar Wars Episode III: Revenge of the SithRogue One: A Star Wars StoryStar Wars Episode VII: The Force AwakensStar Wars Episode VIII: The Last JediStar Wars Episode VI: Return of the JediStar Wars Episode I: The Phantom MenaceStar Wars Episode II: Attack of the ClonesStar Wars: The Clone WarsOn this episode:Evan MillerEthan Simmie Support the showSubscribe for Early Access and Video:The Rolling Tape PatreonListen Here:SpotifyApple PodcastsAll Listening PlatformsHave questions?
