VI > V > III > ROGUE > IV >> VII > II > I

Not even close. the originals are top, followed by the force awakens and revenge of the sith. Hell, I think I enjoyed 1 and 2 more. It does have one of the best scenes in the entire franchise though.

Its the same freaking movie. 

Even the punchline of the jokes. 

No, it is just OK.

Kudos to Disney for salvaging a patchwork mess of plot points and discarded characters. Look how they set up Jyn's cristal neckless but there is no pay-off. Or the mind reading Octopussy.

I am suprised critics are not picking it apart.

The ending is not that memorable. It is only a confuse battle with inept Stormtroopers.

I don't know about it being the best Star Wars movie, but it was definitely a good one imo.

And lets not forget the worst, most forgeteble soundtrack of the franchise.

Giaquino had only 4 week to record the score.

I mean if we're talking POST/after the original trilogy then maybe. The prequels (1-3) are garbage, and while I think the Force Awakens was actually pretty good it was suchhhh a retread on A New Hope that it gets annoying after a bit.

I don't think Rogue One (obviously) holds a candle to IV and V, those are arguably in like the top 10 best adventure films of all time. But its certainly better than the post 2000 Star Wars movies, maybe on par with the Force Awakens but more original. I think it would be in line with Return of the Jedi. Jedi is obviously classic but some of the things in it are just bad and were disappointing to fans at the time (Darth Vader acting like a puss at the end and unveiling his face, ugh, and the eewoks (teddy bears for gods sake) taking on Imperial walkers and things)

Return of the Jedi above Empire and A New Hope? have you lost your mind (let alone putting Rogue above IV). nonsense

IMO  A New Hope is by far the most pure "Star Wars" film in the whole series. It is the most contained in terms of story and pacing. It is arguably the only film in the franchise that can stand alone without seeing ANYTHING else. I also would argue that it is by far the most significant.

you're introduced to the majority of the important cast (Obi Wan, Luke, Leah, Han Solo, Chewy, Darth Vader). It introduces the X Wing, tie fighters, Mil. Falcon, Death Star, etc.

Story arc wise we're introduced to our character in a rather quaint life and then thrown into fantastical things. The Death Star, the rebels vs the Empire, the force (both dark and light). The universe, despite only limitedly being shown to us, has this vague gigantic feel to it where anything is possible. The film ends in a manner that doesn't necessarily require a sequel, in which the Death Star is destroyed and there is a congratulations ceremony to our heroes and the film ends with an implication that the Rebels will continue their fight against the Empire, likely possibly in a successful manner after destroying the Empire's most dangerous weapon

I feel as if A New Hope is not only the most crucial film to the series in terms of the fact if you haven't seen Episode IV then that drastically effects the rest of the series because the vast majority of important Star Wars content and information STEMS from that movie, and I also feel as if it is by far the best paced and directed of all of the films. Every scene retains the viewer and propels you forward.

Empire Strikes Back is great but I do find that it has some awkward pacing in the Cloud City segments and that it isn't quite as polished as A New Hope. 

As far as Return of the Jedi, the prequels, and The Force Awakens- they all have massive different flaws. I don't think the prequels need explanation, but TFA finds itself as a much weaker and total rehash of A New Hope, and Jedi has a lot of laughable decisions in it as well as an extremely flawed ending (IMO), with an attempt to make Darth Vader unexplainably have a character shift in a matter of a couple of scenes

In fact I would argue ROTJ is rather laughable, the fact that they couldn't think of a better plot so just Death Star 2.0

A New Hope in my opinion is by far the definitive Star Wars film. It does practically everything right and I can't even really think of one scene that's out of place, whilst in other Star Wars films I can

Jedi is the only one of the original trilogy with cool Luke Skywalker (hes a puss in the first two), it has Boba Fett, it has Palpatine, It has the best death star run, and it has Endor speeders. I sometimes flip between 5 and 6, but IV is only fantastic to those who grew up on it (I didnt). Rogue One actually made me like 4 more, though.
