IMDB and Star Wars

Here is the current IMDB ranking for each of the nine parts of the Star Wars movie universe:

Episode I (The Phantom Menace) (1999):  6.5
Episode II (Attack of the Clones) (2002):  6.6
Episode III (Revenge of the Sith) (2005):  7.6
Episode IV (A New Hope) (1977):  8.6 (29th highest of all time)
Episode V (The Empire Strikes Back) (1980):  8.7 (15th highest of all time)
Episode VI (Return of the Jedi) (1983):  8.3 (92d highest of all time)
Episode VII (The Force Awakens) (2015):  7.7
Episode VIII (The Last Jedi) (2017):  6.9
Episode IX (The Rise of Skywalker) (2019):  6.4

I should mention one more standalone movie:

Rogue One:  A Star Wars Story (2016):  7.8

I did not see Episodes VIII or IX, but I saw all the others, and I think the folks at IMDB got the others (including Rogue One) almost exactly right.  (I would raise Rogue One to 8.0, and I would lower The Force Awakens to 7.3.  The others I'd keep the same.
