How many times in the Star Wars films (including SW stories) has the Wilhelm scream been used? I'm only asking about Episodes 1-8, Rogue One, and Solo.

@ToddWilcox None excluded just not TV stuff, a Clone Wars, Rebels as too many to count.– SeamusthedogAug 25, 2018 at 0:51

@Seamusthedog - Dunno. Didn't count 'em. You tell me.– ValorumAug 25, 2018 at 7:23

@Valorum only seems to be 1 per film with nothing for TLJ, might have to watch them all back to back to be sure!– SeamusthedogAug 25, 2018 at 8:02

In the 10 films you specified, there are 12 Wilhelm Screams.
Wookieepedia gives us the following list:
Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace
- Naboo soldier shot in the Theed Hangar
- Another Naboo soldier 14 seconds later
Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones
- Naboo guard falling from the ramp of the exploding J-type diplomatic barge on Coruscant,
Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith
- Knocked-back clone trooper on the Guarlara during the broadside battle with the Invisible Hand
Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope
- Stormtrooper shot by Luke Skywalker prior to the chasm swing aboard the Death Star (this was the scream's debut in the Star Wars franchise)
Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back
- Rebel soldier as a turret is destroyed by an All Terrain Armored Transport
- When Chewbacca throws a stormtrooper down right before Han Solo is put into carbonite
Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi
- Weequay falling into the sarlacc pit
- Another skiff guard falls into the sarlacc one minute later
- Colonel Dyer knocked off a catwalk by Han Solo in the Endor shield bunker
- Stormtrooper lifted by crowds on Coruscant
Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens
- First Order stormtrooper hit by an explosion aboard the Finalizer, as Finn and Poe Dameron attempt to escape in a TIE fighter
There are an additional 6 Screams heard in Canon you did not ask about
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (film)
- At the monastery on Teth, after having recovered Rotta, a clone trooper is hit when an AT-TE cockpit explodes from the just-arrived Separatist Droid Army's fire
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (show)
- S02E18 - The Zillo Beast: Hawkeye is hit by the Zillo Beast's foot
- S02E20 - Death Trap: A couple of clone troopers are sent flying into space after the air vent opens
- S03E13 - Monster: In the ambient noise during Savage Opress's transformation)
- S03E20 - Citadel Rescue: During the space battle, a clone trooper aboard an exploding Republic vessel
Star Wars Rebels Spark of Rebellion
- A stormtrooper hit by Ezra Bridger's energy slingshot
Fun fact, Colonel Dryer in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi was portrayed by Ben Burtt (the man who found, and arguably popularized the Scream) and he mimicked the Wilhelm Scream himself on camera.
