The Transport Guy: Here's my definitive ranking of all 7 'Star Wars' movies

I just saw "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." The reviews are correct. It's good. Really good. It's so good, in fact, that I think it's second only to "The Empire Strikes Back," which pretty much everyone agrees is the best of the bunch.

Here's my spoiler-free, definitive ranking of "Star Wars" movies from best to worst:

1. "Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back"
2. "Episode VII: The Force Awakens"
3. "Episode IV: A New Hope"
4. "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi"
5. "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
6. "Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
7. "Episode II: Attack of the Clones"

Some people will say I ranked "The Force Awakens" so high because I just saw it and I'm geeked out. I disagree. I walked out of all three prequel movies hating each one. This is different. Yes, it follows almost the same formula as "A New Hope." But I'm OK with that. I was never bored. And I think it sets things up nicely for what is sure to be another epic two movies.
