The Phantom Menace because of Jar Jar Binks. Yes, I sure love that Jar Jar Binks. He's great. Can't get enough of that Jar Jar. And the kid too. Nothing annoying about him. Not in the slightest. A fantastic child actor whose face you would never, ever want to stamp on... repeatedly... for hours on end.

Some people that grew up with the original trilogy think George Lucas should be roasted on a spit for sullying their beloved franchise with a puerile 2+hour toy commercial featuring excruciating dialogue and an endless parade of offensive racial stereotypes, but not me. No. Not me.

Full of Win.

 

And Mr. Pickles....perhaps you should read this post again....with a more discerning eye.


 

Ok, I did, now what? I grew up with the original SW movies (I wasn't born yet when they came out , but I did see them all many times before the prequels were even announced). Besides the special effects and action, the thing that draws you into the original movies is the constant struggle of good vs. evil, conflict within oneself, corruption, and use and abuse of power. Episode 3 absolutely epitomizes those themes, and that's why I believe it is the best of the 6 movies.

Episode 2, I completely agree with him on--terrible acting, hard-to-follow story, action where special effects took the place of people, etc.

Episode 1, I think would have been accepted as a movie on its' own, had it not been tied to the SW franchise.

For what it's worth, here's how I would order the movies:

1. Episode 3

2. Episode 5

3. Episode 6

4. Episode 4

5. Episode 1

6. Episode 2


 woops....my bad.  <self-owned>

I like Empire Strikes Back, mostly for the last half hour, that lightsaber fight was awesome. Another great part was with the battle on Hoth. Empire Strikes Back also had a pretty good story, and introduced us to characters and events that would figure into other movies, like Yoda. It also gave us the line, "I am your father." Great movie.

 mine too, and for mostly the same reasons.

Episode III... You knew Anakin had to become Darth Vader... And it tied all the movies together perfectly in the way he did it... After Episode III it made me want to see all 6 over and over again...



@Neo: agreed.



Episode iv because it totally redefined Hollywood. Every big-budget special effects movie out now from Spider-man to Lord of The Rings owes it's very existance to SW IV. Before that movie special effects were stunt men and guys in rubber suits crushing cardboard buildings (or the classic Sinbad still motion stuff, but even that was dead by the time SW came on the scene).

In order

IV

VI (must admit, I love the Ewoks, hate me if you will)

V

III

II

I - if not for Darth Maul this movie would be complete crap, but the DM duel is still the best sword duel in Hollywood history if you ask me.



 

neo rat
it also wanted myself to watch all six again, but then again i probably see all six of them once a month>>>d
