Now that I re-watched the entire franchise plus Rise, this is now nearly impossible for me.
1. Empire

TROS and ROTS could definitely flip upon subsequent viewings...

People ranking TROS over ROTS is clearly just a blind prequel hater. I could see someone preferring this to 1+2, but ROTS is LEAGUES better than TROS

Just because I put all the prequels at the bottom doesn’t mean anything. I literally love every Star Wars film. I can make fun of all of them and rank them crazily because they are all inherently silly, weird space adventures. I love Star Wars. Rise of Skywalker is bonkers and fun as hell and made me feel like a kid again. I have a bias towards all Star Wars and I prefer that over being a curmudgeon about whether or not George Lucas or Rian Johnson or JJ ruined it.

The only thing better is Ian McDiarmid's performance. I was on the "ROTS is an improvement from the first two" train at the time, but re-watching it in recent years it still suffers majorly from the same flaws that plagued those two. George can't write dialogue or direct actors out of a paper bag. The tragedy of Anakin's arc just ends up being more laughable than compelling. I still enjoy Ian hamming it up, though, and that reason alone is enough to put it in a tier above TPM/AOTC.

ROTS has the one of my least favorite characters in the whole franchise in General Grievous. Replace him and the film is so much better in my eyes.

There is cringiness, but not on Lucas' sleep-walking level. The imagery in TROS also isn't up to TLJ's level, but it is still better than the hollow/inert cartoon-scape of the prequels.
