    As others have noted, one of the problems with Stars Wars is the "kid" tie-in. Lucus seems to pollute his movies with "cute and cuddly" creaters that both appeal to the kids and make great action figure toys.

    I think the one of the reasons most of us like Return of the Empire is that it was almost completely devoid of "cute and cuddly." It was serious from beginning to end.

      The best part of Return of the Empire was when Luke knocked out the Emperor with his jedi platform shoes.

      I also liked the part where Leia and Lando got shrunk and hitched a ride in Darth Vader's helmet.

          What the heck is this Return of the Empire?

            Think he is referring to "the empire strikes back".

              Heretic! The best part was when everybody danced! It helped us to understand the Emperor's motivations when he donned his leisure suit -- it helped everybody to realize "Hey, the Emperor may be the embodiment of evil, but he can sure boogie..."

                The parodied version perhaps.

                  If we're talking about the originals, maybe, but they messed up the special edition with the CG glitterball and background dancers.

                  Having said that, the special edition greatly cleaned up Yoda's snowboarding sequence.

                    Fairly bad movies with fairly bad writing, fairly bad acting, fairly bad directing and horrible hideous direct to fast food toy tie-ins aka Muppets. Is this why?

                        This is a bit dated but still brings a smile to my lips.

                          I gather I'm a bit out of the loop, but you were named in the page, and I was curious as to your relation with it.

                            Attack of the clones was much worse than the Phantom Menace, at least based on my inital viewing of it. That opinion may change when I get the DVD for christmas though.
                            Return of the Jedi was always tops for me. With ANH and ESB in a draw for second.

                              Anakin in Episode 2 was much, much, much more annoying than Jar Jar. An incredibly cheesy romance story wasn't the brightest thing Lucas thought of.

                                Natalie Portman. Cold filming set. Nuff said.

                                I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
