well, RETURN OF THE JEDI is obviously the best one, it doesnt even need an explanation as to why. Empire is a close second, but i dont liek things ending on a down note. the ewoks were there, as were the gungans and so forth cause star wars movies, deep down are for kids.we loved them as kids, and kids still love them. Lucas killed ROTJ in his speical edition remake of it, replacing the final ewok song that since i was a kid, meant the end of the star wars trilogy, with good winning, and evil getting its ass kicked again

empire is so overrated

My head says Empire, but my heart says Jedi......I went with Jedi.

i love the trilogy. i saw phantom menace in theaters way back when and i haven't seen any of the other new ones based upon the strength of that one. it was shit.

Empire.

The one George Lucas had the least to do with, and SHOCKINGLY it's the best one. All of the original trilogy is titz though.

Jedi, bitch. Shouldn't've even bothered putting the new pieces of crap...

30 year anniversary of Star Wars tomorrow

but the real question is whether Toilet can watch it the whole way thru it without thinking about how he hates the other trilogy

my money says that he can't

the only one i can sit down and watch from beginning to end is the first one (star wars aka new hope), the subsequent two i can fathom by leaving them as background noise.

the other two bored me to sleep and i never fall asleep during a movie i haven't seen or have seen just once, but i slept during the freakshow menace at the theater and bukkake of the clones made me sleep when i saw it on tv. i didn't even bother to see the revenge of the herm.

Empire Strikes Back.

This is the order for Star Wars movies by awesomeness:

Empire Strikes Back > A New Hope > Return of the Jedi > Ewoks: Caravan of Courage > Ewoks: Battle for Endor > Revenge of the Sith > The Star Wars Christmas Special > Attack of the Clones > The Phantom Menace.

I think CGI + Lucas's growing ego ruined the franchise.

barely a day goes by where i am not reminded in some chance way or another of the foul mockery that is the false trilogy.

the epic lightsaber dual, the sheer assload of tie fighters, Lando not being a prick, at-st's, the cooler looking death star blowin shit up, the dark mood throughout... I go with Return of the Jedi. Empire gets love, too. The Hoth battle scene is legendary.

Empire. Although my first experience was with Jedi. And no special editions with this one, please.

I haven't met one person that prefers the special editions.

And I hope I never will.

The special editions could have been so much better. I like some of the little things they did- like when Han runs after the stormtroopers and they turn around they added a hangar full of stormptroopers behind them, which I thought enhanced the scene. But you get one of those moments for every 5 CGI jabba, ronto, worker droid, Jar-Jaresque comedy, and Han shooting 2nd type moments.

well when they did the dvd, they fixed up jabba, so he no longer had those big pupils and his color looked better, every thing else is a bit of a stretch, he has a very corny sense of humor

I guess I missed this the first time around.

The Empire Strikes Back is just about perfect.

A New Hope is my favorite. What's with all the hate on Episode 2? It's way better than the Phantom Menace.

I always found the Cloud City part of Empire rather boring.

The only good thing they did with the Special Editions is in IV when Chewie and Han are running away and the stormtroopers first say, "close the blast doors" and then "open the blast doors"...Before the special editions they didn't say the first one so it didn't make sense. Other than that, meh.
