Revenge of the Sith is worst since it lacks a strong female character. The Phantom Menace is the best by a lot.

Revenge of the Sith and The Phantom Menace flip-flop for that position whenever I re-watch the series. Last re-watch, I gave it to ROTS.
Attack of the Clones is the only reason I don't dismiss the prequels entirely....

Attack of the clones but I strongly hesitate to use the term worst. Its my least favorate but its still very watchable and entertaining. The last 30 minutes with the robot clone wars, Jedi army and Yodas debut saber fight makes up for an average first 2 acts.

TPM
I don't need it anymore. Ani, that's all it's for. I'm good starting with AOTC, which I like in a Kingdom of the Crystal Skull kinda way. The ground battle is a f'n juvenile joke of cgi mess. Jar Jar accidentally winning the day is beneath the credibility of the SW universe.

Even though I didn't like it even as a kid, and it's hard for me to name anything I actually enjoy about it, for some reason I prefer Attack of the Clones over Phantom Menace. I guess because it feels more consequential?
TPM has some fun stuff buried in it, but it's almost pointless in the grand scheme of things and so far removed from the rest of the series. Centering the first film of the trilogy around a guy who dies, a kid who will grow into a completely different person, and a standalone war were baffling decisions.

The Phantom Menace by far.
The cardinal sin is that the entire second act (Tatooine/Anakin story) is not related to the main story line (Naboo invasion/Palpatine). The third act consists of essentially two sub-act (Coruscant and Battle for Naboo finale as coda), so that in the end we have a 4 acts film (not unlike TLJ). Only the Force Awakens screenplay, which sports two completely unrelated plotlines/halfs (quest for Luke then Starkiller), is worse.
I like Phantom Menace about as much as RotJ, juvenile and boring, but it has strong redeeming qualities (art design, music, Palpatine rise, world building etc).

Only the droids and Gungans were CGI. The CGI is outstanding for the 90s, modern blockbuster movies do not look that much better alas. ^^1997 2019

People saying Revenge of the Sith should quit this board. It is probably the second best Star Wars film. Attack of the Clones is easily the worst, even though I enjoy them all.

Revenge of the Sith is loathed mostly because of its infantile stupidity. It's a family film that features infanticide and grotesque violence (immolation) in a cartoonish child-like world. It's a film that benefits no one, children and adults.

Having a different opinion on a fictional franchise is not grounds for people to leave a message board. Get a grip, dude....
