Star Wars

Empire Strikes Back on TV - is it the best though?


(If anyone votes 1 or 2 they have a screw loose)

 

[Giraffe]

Toss of a coin between 4 and 5 for me, but the empire strikes back wins by a short head just for the intro of Yoda, great little fella!!!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I did not get along with 1, 2 or 3. I watched the first and then saw the other two out of 'duty'.

Far too difficult to select a favourite out of 4,5 or 6. The Empire Strikes Back just edges it (perhaps).

 

[Dr Q]

4,6,3,5,2,1 in that order for me, with Star Wars being head and shoulders above the rest, just for what it meant to a 8 yr old boy counting down the days until his dad took him to the Worthing Odean to watch it!

I think the original was the best, it all got a bit silly towards the end.

5, 4, 6, 3, 2, 1.

If you had told me ten years ago that there would be three worse Star Wars films than that Ewok-fuelled garbage, I'd have laughed. How wrong I would have been, and how sad I am that it's true.

Episodes 1 to 3 are essentially 'Jar-Jar Binks's screentime in reverse order'. Episode 4 will always have that special wow factor of having queued around the corner to get in for the 5th or 6th time, but ultimately Lucas is a shit director and episode 5 is better for not being his.

I'm actually one of those SW geeks who thinks that the Revenge of the Sith is actually one of the best out of all 6...Therefore...

1. ROTS
2. EOSB
3. ANH
4. AOTC
5. ROTJ
6. TPM

 

[Jam The Man]

No surprise that ESB is streets ahead... it's a great film in it's own RIGHT


IMO:

1.ESB
2.ROTS
3.ANH
4.AOTC
5.ROTJ
6.TPM

 

[supaseagull]

but ultimately Lucas is a shit director

I always laugh when people say this...He's produced two of the biggest franchises in movie history and just because he's not done a film about how badly a race was treated in the second world war or done a 19th century costume drama or made a biography of a stupid man from Alabama, people think he's a shit director.

Personally, if having made the Indiana Jones films and Star Wars films constitutes being "shit", then I doubt if Lucas will lose too much sleep over it!

4 , 6 , 5 , 3, 1, 2.
Princess Leia still makes my light sabre hum.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

6, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2

 

[Taybha]

Defo the empire strikes back for me

 

[Crisp]

4, 5, 3, 6, 2, 1 for me

 

[bright1064]

Can't beat the original trilogy. The prequels were cack, and the best of the entire series remains 'A new hope'

 

[Scotty Mac]

5, 6, 3, 4, 2, 1

2 and 1 really were utter shit

 

[Zesh Rehman]

the original trilogy are better, but revenge of the sith is very good

Shame that George went and spoilt it with 1 and 2 that were quite frankly both toilet.

 

[Badger]

Empire is clearly the best

Episode 1 was totally garbage and 2 wasn't much better. They finally got it right with Episode 3.

 

[footychick]

Empire Strikes Back.
I haven't seen 3 yet though and I don't think I've seen 2.
