Every 'Star Wars' Movie, Ranked By Action

It's no surprise that Star Wars revolves around conflict on a galactic scale. Whether that's the Republic fighting the Separatists, the Rebellion taking on the might of the Empire, or the Resistance struggling to survive the threat of the First Order, the franchise is filled with great action scenes.

10 'Episode VIII - The Last Jedi' Directed by Rian Johnson The second entry in the sequel trilogy follows the Resistance as they continue their fight against the First Order. While they have the same spirit, they're not as well-equipped as the Rebellion, meaning they don't get much opportunity to face Snoke's forces head-on.

8 'Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back' Directed by Irvin Kershner It might be one of the best Star Wars movies, but Empire Strikes Back isn't as focused on war as other entries. The Battle of Hoth is one of the most memorable, introducing the AT-AT walker, but after that the Rebels have to flee, and a significant part of the film follows Han and Leia trying to shake off their Imperial pursuers in the asteroid field.

6 'Episode IV - A New Hope' Directed by George Lucas The movie that launched Star Wars almost fifty years ago, A New Hope set the tone for the kind of action we could expect from the franchise. It opens with one of the most iconic firefights as Vader and the 501st Legion blast their way onto the Tantive IV in search of the Death Star plans.

4 'Episode VI - Return of the Jedi' Directed by Richard Marquand Return of the Jedi paid off on everything that the original trilogy had been building up to, as the Rebellion takes the fight to the Empire, hoping to destroy the second Death Star, taking Palpatine down with it and ending the galactic civil war.
