Thanks for that. plain


Anyway, it's nice to see so many people still like ROTJ despite certain changes to it. I am most fond of the first movie as this is where it all began and most of my greatest "feel-good" memories stem from.

Empire is my favorite of all the films. I think it captures the best balance between exciting space adventure and the more "cerebral" style of storytelling where character-based introspection and melancholy atmospherics are just as vital as action. It's a toss-up between the other two, and my answer could vary depending on what day it is as far as ranking them. I love how the first half of ANH unfolds in a decidedly more low-key manner than is the norm for the rest of the saga. I think the film sacrifices some of its character with all the swashbuckling of the second half, which is incredibly fun and iconic, no doubt, but not as interesting to me as the more careful development showed during the Tatooine sequences. Jedi might be the opposite for me in that the first half I find a little less than enthralling when a key part of the plot is forced to wait in the wings a bit too long until finally the meat of the story is told when Luke confronts Vader. When we get there, though, things are excellent. Luke springing up and attacking in a bout of controlled fury after Vader threatens to corrupt Leia just might be my favorite individual sequence from all the films.

ANH is my favorite film of the CT. Sure, Empire makes for a better flm, with Vder revealing himself as Luke's father among other thing, It amazes me that ANH was able to make so much money despite having a limited budget and most of the Cast/Crew doubting if it would ever make any money.

I have to say that mine is ANH. It may not be the best plot-wise and lack a lot of things the other movies had (more about the Jedi, bounty hunters, etc.), but for me it is the movie that started it all. I could never start watching any of the the OT without watching ANH first.

ANH still to this day. It sets up both Trilogies.

I know the mass movement out there is ESB, but ANH is still the best in my opinion. The story, the music, the characters, the visual aspects are the baseline of the starwars stories for me.

ROTJ used to be my favorite, but Empire's taken that top spot for a while now.

It's only been made worse by the addition of Hayden's force ghost.

Yes. I am that petty.

ANH got my vote, its maybe the greatest movie of all time.

ROTJ was my favourite when I was younger, but my enthusiasm for the movie has diminished due to the Ewoks and the Leia = Luke's sister angle.

Presently TESB is my favourite, since it has the best pacing.

I've been a TESB man for many years, but of late I've become increasingly fond of ANH.

ANH by a nose.
