Top 10 Best Star vs. the Forces of Evil Episodes

1. Starcrushed

   

   Beautiful, mesmerizing, and stunning. I caught a lot of feelings for this one.

   It was awesome seeing Starco get crushed and Jarco triumph! Too bad it didn't last.

2. Blood Moon Ball

   

   This is a really solid episode. It may not be the best the series has ever done, but it's one of, if not my absolute, personal favorites. There are funny jokes and gags, such as the fact that the Blood Moon Ball occurs every six hundred and sixty-seven years, and the gag with the two monsters whose lips don't move.

   In terms of character, we get a proper introduction to Tom (who is probably my favorite recurring character on the show). We also see a super mature exchange at the end between Star and Marco, and the side characters, such as the Ed Wynn-sounding monster complaining about the ball, are a hoot based on their personalities alone.

   This may be a controversial opinion, but I actually like some of the early season 1 episodes that feature slightly choppier animation. It makes the characters move in such a visually interesting way that I can't even describe. Sure, I like the bouncy, more fluid animation from the pilot and season 2, but this looks good in its own right. Overall, a solid episode.

3. Star Comes to Earth

   

   You get to see Star's parents for the first time.

   You get to see everyone for the first time.

4. Bon Bon the Birthday Clown

   

   Personally, I thought this was a great episode because it showed how Star's feelings for Marco were deepening. She initially felt excited for him, but when the time came, she felt upset. It also shows how the corrupted side of her wand can worsen when bothered by her emotions.

   Star deliberately searched for a dark spell just so she could watch, and it showed the power of Eclipsa's spells when she accidentally popped a wheel on Jackie's skateboard. Even better, the continuation of the Blood Moon Ball (during Jackie and Marco's kiss) was remarkable.

   Why is it at the bottom?

   Well, Ludo was at the best he could be at. This definitely earns the No. 3 spot on the list.

5. Mewberty

   

   This was a weird one. Star turns into a purple butterfly-like creature and has a melted brain that tells her to capture boys and put them in lockers...

   It was really weird for all us weird people out here.

   "Boy..." Star in this episode.

6. Sleep Spells

   It has a very good plot, in my opinion.

7. Storm the Castle

   

   This is one of the first episodes where you can actually tell Star is getting serious. Granted, it's not the only episode where Star gets serious, but the atmosphere of the episode really drives home the point that she means business - and for the sake of her best friend, Marco, too.

   It was an awesome way to wrap up the season, and it was an even better way to develop the relationship between the two protagonists. If I were making this top ten video as, say, something on YouTube (which I don't do, by the way), I would put this as number one and caption it as an anti-climactically obvious choice. But I'll respect the decisions of this poll and leave it at that.

   (A note about the #1 choice at the time of my writing this - 12/10/2016 - Mewberty was pretty great too, especially considering its tone and subject matter.)

8. Pixtopia

   

   The pixies are so small.

9. Party with a Pony

   

   It has an awesome flying pony head!

10. Match Maker

    You get to see Marco's future girlfriend.

    This one is amazing. I don't like Jarco. Either way, great episode.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Moon the Undaunted

    

    Peak episode. I wish we could've seen more of Moon and River's past as teens and young adults.

12. ?

    Skooled!

    
The Contenders

13. Running with Scissors

    

    While this didn't drive the plot forward all that much, I still love it. It is executed beautifully, and I just love that they didn't do something stupid like, "Haha, it was just a dream," or something. No, instead, Marco was actually away for 16 whole years of his life, and even if it was just eight minutes on Earth, that is still 16 years to him.

    The ending, where he sits and I guess feels kind of empty and weird about being a 14-year-old again in a life he no longer knows, is just wonderful and heartbreaking at the same time.

    It would have made the series too serious if they'd continued with the plot from the part where he forgot about his Earth life for 16 years.

    Still, I wish Daron Nefcy could make some separate special episodes for that. I'm really, really curious.

14. Monster Arm

    That's so weird and funny that Marco has a talking squid arm.

    Marco gets an octopus arm. Hilarity ensues.

15. Just Friends

    

16. Face the Music

    

    Am I the only one who really likes this one?

17. The Other Exchange Student

    

    "Hello! I am Gustav." Gustave in this episode.

18. St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses

    

19. Gone Baby Gone

    I know the episode is barely one day old, but I LOVED IT!

20. Sleepover

    

21. Toffee

    Last good episode before the show went downhill.

    This is obviously the best episode.

22. Into the Wand

    

    Oh my God! How is this not on the list? The revelations in this episode, the Butterfly tapestries, Toffee's finger - this episode is mega important.

    I thought that episode was cool. It was like finding out your parents were like the Power Rangers or the Justice League!

23. Photo Booth

24. Mewnipendance Day

    

    What? Sixteenth? How? This is at least top 5, probably top 3 material.

    Great, moving episode that lets us see things in a new light.

25. Baby

    The blue minotaur/horse/unicorn/man thing carrying the apple so carefully to Baby, and then his awkward look of approval when he accidentally drops and destroys it, makes the episode.

26. Lobster Claws

    

    Marco tries to make Lobster Claws, but fails.

27. Star on Wheels

    

    Same here! All the episodes with Eclipsa are the main reason I still watch this show!
