Jedi. My personal favorite of the 6 movies. We get introduced to Jabba ( because it never happened in Episode 4.... you George) who is a bigger than life King pin of Tattooine. He owns Han in a block of Carbonite, has Boba Fett as his personal security, owns a Rancor, has a band, and kills his dancing slaves at the push of a button. Hahahah seriously, Jabba rocks. We see the death (?) of Boba Fett, Yoda, Emperor (?), a bunch of Troopers and Ewoks, as well as Vader himself. This was a huge 3 movie finale. Jabba's Palace/Skiff were great scenes. Yoda's death was very touching, and it was finally revealed that Leia was Luke's brother, and if he failed, Leia was another to-be Jedi. Admiral Ackbar Watching Shuttle Tydirian land on the Forest Moon of Endor and introduce us to Ewoks. Easily the coolest savage murderous bears in the galaxy. We also go police style chases on Speeder Bikes, Luke's Jedi skills in the woods, and CHEWY HOING APE crapINSIDE OF A AT-ST!!!! Then, yes, there's more, we see the climactic battle between Fathet and Son. Luke vs Vader for the Empire Workd Title, loser is owned by the Emperor to rule the galaxy forever and destroy the Jedi's ways. Awesome lightsaber duel, ending with Vader realizing he was wrong... The Jedi was the only way! Lando flew The Melinuim falcon inside the freakin Death Star and blew it up, meanwhile Han and Chewy have a battle royal on Endor... Then, start a party with the Ewoks and fry up some Stormtrooper and Vader meat for a feast. What's not to love about Return of the Jedi? Easily my favorite movie ever.

Wow. Jedi beating Empire? Crazy. It's my favorite one, and I'm shocked it's winning. I expected it to be 3rd behind Empire and New Hope... Weird. But awesome.

GREAT topic......I'm always ready to talk Star Wars. My favourite is The Empire Strikes Back. LOVE IT. to me ESB is practically flawless........ this is how I rank the movies
ESB ROTJ(a VERY close second I might add) ANH ROTS AOTC/TPM
The end of AOTC saves it from being dead last.
Massive Jedi battle....... Clones & Yoda to the rescue...... Kenobi & Skywalker vs Dooku Yoda's first onscreen battle Death Star plans
Darth Maul and the final lightsaber battle prevent TPM from being dead last

This is my order, and I'm not just being a banter butt kisser. But -- where would you rate sweet sweet love making in there?...I'd put RotJ and ESB above most women. True story. And are we talking 'poop' as in smelling someone else's, or taking one? Because a good poop rivals many, many movies. I think Darth Maul single-handedly gives legitimacy to that one flick, though. Not sure about Clones. It's hard for me to defend Clones outside of 'it's a star wars film'...

I've watched the first three so any times, but still A New Hope is my favourite. If it wasn't for the Podrace scene in Phantom I'd probably have gone for that, but it bores me to be honest.

A little off topic but the reason so many people didn't like TPM was because honestly the movie didn't live up too the enormous hype it created and when it was all over you sorta were like that's it!? I think AOTC was far worse of a movie then TPM. With episode VII a little over a year away, it's renewed my interest in the saga and I have been watching all 6 again starting with the prequels. My list.
ESB ANH ROTJ ROTS TPM AOTC

Empire for me. Call me a cynic, but I love movies every once and awhile where the bad guys win! Plus the lightsaber battle had so much emotion to it. The Dark Lord of the Sith being having the upperhand on the inexperienced Jedi totally showed in the battle. Just look at the beginning. Luke put so much effort into fighting Vader, you can feel him putting all of his power into every strike he puts against Vader. WHat does Vader do? He fights Luke with one hand!! Vader was such a cocky bad-ass during that battle and I love it!

My list. ESB ANH ROTJ ROTS TPM AOTC I liked TPM but I loved the others more. I liked that new movies were being made so I give points to TPM for starting that. I liked seeing the Senate, Jedi Order, Siths, Coruscant and the Pod Race. I didn't much like Jar Jar and young Anakin but I didn't hate them either. The others were more enjoyable I think because they kept getting deeper and deeper into the story of the Empire forming. Palpatine was probably what I liked most from TPM because we see him getting his power in the Senate and then you know it's going to go bad from there.

I was born into the fandom thanks to my older brother... and I love Star wars.. prequels, whatever... if it's star wars I pretty much love it. I'm looking forward very much to the new Rebels show and Episode 7 But I will ALWAYS have a softspot for Return of the Jedi as my fave. That and Jedi was the only one of the orginal three movies I saw in theaters during it's original 1983 run when i was three years old. Thoguh I was alive when empire was in theaters but only like 6 months old. if I gotta.. then... 1:Return of the Jedi 2The Empire Strikes Back 3:A New Hope 4The Phantom Menace (Qui-Gon Jinn is my favorite Jedi) 5:Revenge of the Sith 6:Attack of the Clones My fave character of all thoguh will always be Luke Skywalker..

On the topic of TPM I appreciate it much more now that I have read the Darth Plagueis book. It makes the movie much more enjoyable to me.

I always loved ROTS, mainly because I think it's awesome how the saga came full circle and because the previous movies sucked so bad that this one was a refreshing change of face. The effects were beautiful too. I used to love ROTJ the most, but I've changed my mind a bit. My order is... Revenge of the Sith Empire Strikes Back A New Hope Return of the Jedi Phantom Menace Attack of the Clones Darth Maul, though... Exactly how I'd rank them. Maul is f'n amazing! Is it wrong that I had him feud with Undertaker over the WWE Title in a game once?

Ugh, guys...I fail at life.
I started A New Hope back when I first posted this thread -- and I haven't gotten past the first 25 minutes, still.
Start rolling on my next Feature in about 2.5 weeks, and my shoulder got messed up at the gym, so I've been drugged up. I haven't gotten to do sh*t. I've been meaning to get some of the Buffy series in, too. Just not enough hrs in the day, I tell ya!
Someone mentioned the books earlier, what are some favorites? I've honestly never read them (not for a lack of interest, just always something else happens to come up -- and now that they're not canon, I find myself having an even harder time)
