An All-New "Order the Star Wars Films" Thread

[Jaguar]

We need one of these, now that everyone has seen the new one. Order them from most awesome to least. There will be no debating over the name I chose to refer to the original movie.

This poll only includes Revenge of the Sith and the original trilogy, because I think most people are agreed that the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones are inferior in quality to the other four, and there are only 24 options available in polls. Including all six films would require 720 poll options.


In my view, ROTJ = ESB > Star Wars > ROTS. I'll vote ROTJ first because I think it's more underrated. (Most people put it below ESB, so I'll even things out a little.) If ESB had more Emperor in it, I would have chosen it hands down.

Empire Strikes Back, Revenge of the Sith, Return of the Jedi, Star Wars

Empire Strikes Back has a distinct lack of awesome space battles. That, and the extremely limited role of the Emperor, is why I don't place it at first uncontested. The battles of Yavin and Endor are some of the best parts of the series, and ESB has nothing to compare to it.

Lando alone PWNS Endor. The Ewoks ruined RotJ.

The Phantom Menace

All the others suck.

Return of the Jedi, Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith. My reason [for placing ROTJ first] differs from Jaguar's; it is that no sci-fi movie has ever even come close to matching what is the epic science fiction space battle. That is, because it occupies a special place in the SF genre.

That's my reason as well, as I posted above. Silly Kuci, thinking that we actually disagree on anything.

Three reasons for ROTJ:
1. MORE EMPEROR
2. Battle of Endor
3. Vader redemption

One of the reasons ROTS remains in 4th. The only character from the original series who was able to mantain his dignity was Kenobi.

Yoda's dialogue was off-kilter. They made the Emperor cackle like a maniac too much. Hayden was better than before, but he still didn't quite fill Prowse's suit. James Earl Jones was good for his three or four lines, but the NOOoooo! is too cheesy even for him to deal with.

Chewbacca was perfect in RoTS.

ACK!

[Nostromo]

You didn't understand me. The NOOooo! is my reaction to this 1056th Star Wars related thread. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !

I did it just to annoy you.
