Well, the OP said favoute which is purely subjective. However, I presume that many voters, like myself, are influenced by the films judgeable strengths, so the result is in line with general critical opinion.
I can understand someone ROTJ or ROTS or even Phantom Menace as their favourite, but on a less opinionated basis, Empire is clearly superior (much as I hate to use that term as) in terms of script quality, consistency of acting, cinematography, etc.
It also sits poised where the world created felt genuinely interesting and unkown and capable of suprising you, with settings such as Cloud City or the battle on Hoth, before everything turned generic, with ROTJ featuring essentially places we'd been before or genuinely boring settings like Earth (I mean Endor). ROTS of the prequels, while flawed horribly in some areas, probably managed the best of in terms of capturing elements of what stood out in A New Hope and particularly Empire.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
