With the release of the new Star Wars movie this weekend, we thought it a good time to compare the best Star Wars movies with the best Atlanta Braves seasons.

This is truly a geek moment for me to talk both Atlanta Braves baseball and Star Wars movies, possibly my two favorite topics in the world.

But with Star Wars — The Rise of Skywalker coming out, the last movie in the Skywalker saga, what better time to compare the movie franchise to the Braves?

This list is obviously going to be subjective and can be highly debated. But I also had to move some things around so that the title made sense with the season.

Below I’ll be listing the five best Star Wars movies (according to me) and comparing it with one of the best seasons by the Braves.

I’ll go ahead and tell you that there are several Star Wars movies that I don’t even consider when making a favorites list.

You can compare The Last Jedi, Solo, and that terrible Clone Wars move to every Braves season in the second half of the ’80s. They are all terrible in my book and not worth mentioning.

But here are a couple of comparisons that didn’t quite make my top five.

Revenge of the Sith — 1996

Phantom Menace — 1992

Attack of the Clones — 1997

And what I hope will be a great comparison after this weekend and the 2020 season…

The Rise of Skywalker — 2020

Now let’s get into the top 5 Star Wars movies with the 5 best seasons in Atlanta Braves history.
