Return Of The Jedi. It's Reel Six-by which all Star Wars should be judged-has a splendid feeling of...this time, they're playing for keeps. There'll be no lucky escape for our heroes if they don't succeed this time; if they lose here, it's the end.

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Return of The Jedi

TESB and ANH are so close though that they switch positions regularly as my favourites, but at the moment I like Empire the best. Return Of The Jedi isn't a bad film, but I find the intro on Tatooine rescuing Han to go on for too long, and had it been cut down there would have been a lot more room for character development and more scenes with Vader and the Emperor.

ESB will always be my favourite. Having said that, like several others here I've grown to appreciate ANH more over the years (that, and the fact it can be so hilarious at times laugh ) so it ranks a very close 2nd.

TESB definitly, because I love At-Ats and I always laugh when Vader chokes the admiral, turns to the guy next to him, and promotes him to admiral (who is later choked by Vader and has someone else become admiral).

I have grown in appreciation of ANH since ROTS came out, but ROTJ is my favorite, hands down.
In my opinion, it has the best space battle, wonderful banter and camaraderie between the main characters, and more in depth look at the battle of good vs. evil.

Empire is my favorite, although the other two are not far behind it. Empire > Jedi > ANH.

The Empire Strikes Back. It took a great, fun, sci fi adventure and turned it into a cinema and artistic classic. TESB made Star Wars modern mythology it is the movie that took the saga to the next level.

Empire Strikes Back. It just flows better for me, looks better, and it has the complete mix of everything a movie should have.

Randal Graves: Which did you like better? "Jedi" or "The Empire Strikes Back"?
Dante Hicks: "Empire".
Randal Graves: Blasphemy.
Dante Hicks: "Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.


Empire is a better movie from a pure critical standpoint, from character development to plot to, arguably, the greatest ending in cinematic history. I could only imagine what it was like to be in a theater in 1980 and hear the words, "No, I am your father" for the first time.

That being said, however, I remember being so awe-inspired by Jedi when I was a kid, especially the Endor speeder scenes. Plus, Jedi was the first Star Wars movie I remember watching, so it has a sentimental place in my heart over Empire. I'm sure that if I had watched Empire when it came out originally, things would be different.

The biggest reason I prefer Jedi over Empire, though, can be summed up in four words...

Story wise Return of the Jedi. Flat ou the best. Also "Jedi" offers the best Dog Fight of all 6 films.
