Welcome to a very special week on ShortList, where we celebrate one of the greatest franchises of all time. No, not Police Academy but Star Wars.

Beginning on May the 4th (be with you) we will be celebrating Star Wars throughout the week by publishing a number of fantastic guides and articles that celebrate the world of Star Wars, looking at ever corner of a galaxy far, far away.

Help rank the best Star Wars movies

At the moment, we think that the ranking in this list is wrong! If we had the power then The Last Jedi would be higher and Attack of the Clones much lower. But we don't - that's up to you and the thousands of others who have already had their say.
