Saga Rate The Six George Lucas Films, Favorite to Least Favorite (poll added)

Simon Pegg, is that you?

 

Uh..........maybe *Runs back to the prequel thread to sway others opinions of me and make them hate me to convert them to the dark side of the force.

 

Nobody cares what you think is the "correct" way to think, now move along....

 

Be nice.

(It's hard to tell whether something is sarcasm/joshing on the internet - I'm just being proactive.)

 

1. "Attack of the Clones"
2. "The Empire Strikes Back"
3. "Revenge of the Sith"
4. "The Phantom Menace"
5. "A New Hope"
6. "Return of the Jedi"

 

Thanks for the defense Some people have no taste

 

1. Star Wars: Episode III- Revenge of the Sith
2. Star Wars: Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back
3. Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope
4. Star Wars: Episode II- Attack of the Clones
5. Star Wars: Episode VI- Return of the Jedi
6. Star Wars: Episode I- The Phantom Menace

 

1 Ep V
2 Ep IV
3 Ep III
4 Ep II
5 Ep I
6 Ep VI

At least Ep I dared to be different. Ok, it failed miserably, but Ep VI imo, was a very lazy way to end the saga, which is why I'm elated for Ep VII!!

 

Really? It's topped by both TPM and ROTS, if TFA isn't able to top ESB, then it will be 4th at best

Also:

1.) The Phantom Menace
2.) Revenge of the Sith
3.) The Empire Strikes Back
4.) Attack of the Clones
5.) A New Hope
6.) Return of the Jedi

 

It's called his opinion JLS. It's different from yours.

 

I know

 

ESB>ANH>ROTJ>ROTS>TPM>AOTC
1. Generic answer but I can't help it, a near perfect movie that really turned star from a fun space adventure to a grand epic. It hard not to love this movie.

2. The simplest movie, but thats where its strength lies, good vs evil, rebels vs empire,save the princess, the heroes journey, the wise old sage. the rogue whos a nice a guy deep down, all classics, and even tropes, but that was the point and its executed so damn well its hard not to love it.

3. Weakest or the originals, I hate the damn Ewoks and a lot of individual elements like the DS II felt off. It makes up for it in others ways the, the skiff battle, speeder bike chase is great. The battle of Endor is probably my favorite space battle in the series. The final battle between Luke, Vader and the emperor is the highlight and my favorite part of the whole saga. I don't want to sequel bash too hard but the 30 or so seconds when Luke snaps it more powerful than all the fight choreography and crazy sets of the prequel duels.

4. Many people like this film but I just find it alright, it was some great moments here and there but it was just either boring or totally over the top action most of the time. ROTJ although the next weakest never makes me bored for too long. Many of the problems that this film has can be blamed on the previous two but it still makes so mistakes on its own. Like the duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan. It has potential but goes on for way to long and so insane it takes you ought of the conflict between two brothers and instead becomes two super hero like characters dancing.

5. The flaws of these movie have been discussed to death. Don't think I can say anything about it.

6. Worst for me. I think it really poorly handled the clone wars, the Jedi, Obi-Wan, and most importantly Anakin.

 

Okay, after thinking a lot, I will give my revised most favourite to least favourite Star Wars movie list before the released of TFA after having watched each movie recently after many years. The previous list was dated since I haven't watched any movie for years: http://boards.theforce.net/threads/...ite-poll-added.50020703/page-34#post-52402798

Revised list:

1. Revenge of the Sith - It sill remains one of my favourites. Even if Empire is a better made movie than Sith, this chapter still remains a pivotal one in the saga and its story. The tone, the themes and the story are darker in Sith than Empire.

2. The Empire Strikes Back - It's also one of my favourites along with Sith and A New Hope. I even happen to prefer Empire over Sith sometimes due to its quality. But Sith manages to provide a more enriching and ambitious story than Empire.

3. A New Hope - An undeniable classic.One of my favourites also. This movie holds a charm that none of the other Star Wars movies have. In terms of artistry, the makers behind this movie really did a good job. But Empire is still a better-made movie than this one.

4. Attack of the Clones - This might be controversial. But after having not watched this movie for a long time, I liked it more than the first time I've watched it when I was teenager 10 years ago and it used to be my least favourite Star Wars movie ever. Maybe it's because, as I'm now in my mid-twenties I've become more understandable and I used to find romance in movies to be boring before. But artistically and visually, this movie is still beautifully made I think if you let aside some of the problems with some of the dialogue and acting with Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman, but they are not as catastrophic as people tend to think. This movie still manages to be very entertaining.

5. Return of the Jedi - The reason why I place Episode II above Episode VI is because I found Jedi to be a little bit too kid-friendly (with some weird scenes in Jabba Palace and Tatooine) and the effects in it don't hold up very well when compared to the other two originals. But I like it very much because of its conclusion, since I love happy endings in movies in general, and it is still an important and pivotal chapter in the Star Wars saga.

6. The Phantom Menace - It certainly is the weakest of the entire saga mainly because of its slow pace and too goofy moments. But I still appreciate this movie since it has some kind of warmth in it and also some kind of charm. But the critics against this movie are grotesquely exaggerated. I think that its a fine regular movie.

The new ranking I give to each of the movie which has been revised in my previous reviews: http://boards.theforce.net/threads/...after-many-years-thoughts-and-views.50033269/

The ranking doesn't not correspond to my favourite movie list. It depends more on the quality, the importance of the plot and how well-made the movie has been made.

1. The Empire Strikes Back: 9.5/10
2. Revenge of the Sith: 9/10
3. A New Hope: 8.5/10
4. Return of the Jedi: 8/10
5. Attack of the Clones: 7.5/10 or 8/10 (maybe I was too severe in my revised ranking in the reviews)
6. The Phantom Menace: 7/10 (It's not a bad movie. It's only an average one).

 

Just finished watching ESB in preparation for Thursday, and I forgot how incredibly good the movie is. It is a true cinematic masterpiece and is one of the best films of all time in my opinion. I love ANH, but ESB is still leaps and bounds beyond it. So in light of this, and the new movie coming out on Thursday here are my final rankings before adding TFA to the list



Cinematic Masterpiece
1. The Empire Strikes Back

Classic
2. A New Hope

Great (but flawed)
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. Return of the Jedi

Entertaining
5. The Phantom Menace

Bad
6. Attack of the Clones

 

I'll be the first to introduce TFA into the mix:

1. A New Hope
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Revenge of the Sith
5. The Phantom Menace
6. Attack of the Clones
7. The Force Awakens

 

Will it be in the Saga forum? (also, I really like your HP sig )

 

1. A New Hope:
Such a fantastic film all around. I love the world building aspects.

2. Empire Strikes Back:
An absolute masterpiece, but I favor a New Hope simply because we get to see the trio together more. I miss the interaction between the characters.

3. Return of the Jedi:
I don't care for the special edition version of this film. If I'm using that, it'd be fourth place. I love a lot about this one though. It doesn't quite hit an emotional high for me simply because on re-watches, there is no tension. Everyone is fine at the end.

4. The Phantom Menace:
I re-watched this today, and honestly I really like the film. The acting and writing isn't perfect, but I love what it's trying to do. The political aspects really interested me, and had it been done better, could have been Game of thrones Esque. Plus, duel of fates, and the duel itself, are masterful.

5. Revenge of the Sith:
I personally don't love this one as much as everyone else, simply because I think it's just to bloated. It's really all three prequels in one film. While I enjoy TPM, that film does practically nothing for the trilogy, and Clones barely moves things along. Sith could be viewed in a vacuum, and that would be fine for the saga. Ewan Mcgregor is perfection.

6. Attack of the Clones:
I don't even like putting this one on my list personally. It fails in just about every regard. Jango is cool, but that's all it really does right. Anakin and Padme are horrible, their romance is pathetic, and their relationship makes no sense.

Clone Wars and RotS are all the prequels ya really need, but I like Phantom... A lot... Just saying, lol.

 

I never noticed that fancy glow your name has Anakinfansince1983! Looks cool.

Anyways, my rankings:

1) ROTS
2) TESB
3) ROTJ
4)TPM
5) AOTC
6) ANH

I love the original film. But I've seen it's formula copied so many times in other inferior films that I'm kind of sick of the premise. Perhaps it's blasphemy but ANH just bores me now.

 

When will this thread be up?

 

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Revenge of the Sith
5. The Phantom Menace
6. Attack of the Clones

 

Mine is purely favorites/sentimental Value (My favorites are always the third installments)

1. Revenge of the Sith
2. Return of the Jedi
3. The Empire Strikes Back
4. The Phantom Menace
5. A New Hope
6. Attack Of The Clones

 

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. The Force Awakens
4. Return to Lothal
5. Spark of Rebellion
6. Return of the Jedi
7. Revenge Of The Sith
8. Battle For Endor
9. Holiday Special
10. The Pirates and the Prince
11. The Phantom Menace
12.Treasure of the Hidden Planet
13. The Haunted Village
14. Caravan Of Courage
15. Tales from the Endor Woods
16. Attack Of The Clones.
17. The Clone Wars

 

After re-watching the films a few more time, here is my new order:

ROTS
TESB
ROTJ
ANH
TPM
ATOC

I think my old order had ROTS/TESB tied at first, and I know RTOJ and ANH were switched in order in my older list.

Thanks again, Alienware, for keeping a running tabulation of these results! A great service to the SW community!
