Saga Which trilogy is your favorite?

I voted for the prequels, but it brings me warm feelings that all 3 got votes

 

That’s why I said rumor.

 

Well technically you are correct, but one group of movies only has 2.5% of the votes so far. Pretty representative of how I happen to feel about that trilogy also.

 

There is only one. The OT!

The PT is terrible when compared to the OT, but outstanding when compared to the ST

 

I was a kid when the OT came out, so that trilogy will always be my favorite. I can still remember the way I felt when I first saw the films. The PT is the perfect companion to the OT as it adds to the story, People want to focus on the clunky dialog or whatever, but it still tells a consistent and amazing story. The ST, I do my best to forget ever existed.

 

The OT, closely followed by the ST.

Btw, the PT should not be canon in my book, for the silly explanation of the force alone...

 

The OT for me is king. The PT has elements that I like, but there's just so much I dislike about them ( awful storytelling, meandering often unfinished plotlines, some terrible dialogue, some miserable CGI, weak character 'arcs' eg....virgin births and midiclorians) ..the ST is for me, literally unwatchable.

PT is teh lolz

 

Not when it's trying to be funny

 

I love the OT dearly. I got into Star Wars in those two sweet years between the special editions, and TPM. I know every time that I watch A New Hope that I am watching a Great Movie™, and it is indeed a great movie, but the PT just has more going on, from a filmmaker who had a decade or more to ruminate. I think they're fascinating films.

I have nothing nice to say about the ST outside of the score and effects.

 

PT first but only by a little. The first 6 is my favorite movie/TV series ever and Anakin is probably my favorite SW character. I definitely don't Couch my appreciation for the prequels in objective anything, because I see art as subjective in nearly every regard. My only major problem with any of the prequels individual scenes is Padme losing the will to live (so I headcanon Sidious absorbing her life force to keepAnakin alive. If she hadn't known her kids were alive the despair angle might have worked for me.) My only major problem with the OT is Han not taking no for an answer from Leia in a way I find uncomfortable. One thing I love is all the rhymes Lucas put in from shot selection to music choices.

The ST feels disjointed and like it could have done more with the characters it had. Although ideally they start with a more unique situation in TFA.

 

Quoting this as well as liking it, 'cause I wholeheartedly agree with 99.9% of it, to a frightening "get out of my head" degree. My only minor tweak would be to specify that Anakin is one of my favourite characters, as he shares that honour with a couple others.

 

Prequel Trilogy because I always wanted to see the events of Anakin becoming Darth Vader and how it actually happened.

 

The OT, far and away, and the original film is my favourite movie of all time.

It's... closer than I'd like to admit between the PT and ST. I grew up with the PT, and while I went through a late teens/early 20s phase of hating them (just because) I do genuinely love them. I can look past most of their faults, but there are some glaring ones that I can't ignore. With the ST, I love TFA, I love TLJ, but TRoS is my least favourite of the Saga. It's arguably the only one of the nine I don't actually like, even if there are bits and pieces of it that I enjoy. Ultimately, I'd have to give a slight edge to the ST for second place.

 

God this one is difficult. I think I'd have to give it to the original trilogy in terms of sheer consistency. Even though I'm a big fan of TLJ and TFA to a lesser extent, TROS brings down the trilogy as a whole a fair bit. And I only really enjoy like 50% of the Prequel trilogy even if Revenge of the Sith is also in my top rankings.

 

World Building Prequels as movies in quality the Original Trilogy

 

The Original Trilogy will always be my favorite trilogy, and ROTJ will always be my favorite movie. I love the Prequels too, but a huge part of my childhood is embedded in the OT.

 

As much as I think the prequels are truly very good movies, I still prefer the originals since they were my introduction to that world and I grew up with them. That said, I think some characters were handled better in one trilogy vs. another. For example, Obi-Wan and Palpatine were much more fleshed out in the prequels, while Yoda was more dogmatic, unlike his role in the older films. As for Anakin/Vader, I think its a tie; David Prowse, James Earl Jones, and Hayden Christensen all brought so much to that character.
