By themselves, they're shit. However, I do very much enjoy most scenes when viewed in the context of Legends. And given that it's basically impossible for me to ignore Legends, yes, I do enjoy watching them.

TPM is quaint, AotC is bearable, RotS is very enjoyable, actually.

Finn was actually the best part of the film (aside from the final scene with Luke).

Deronn_solo
TPM was atrocious, Attack of the Clones watchable. RotS was one of the funnest movies I've ever watched, tbh.

Kurk
Better than TFA for sure. I usually watch them to jerk off to Padme

aalyasecura95
i actually liked tpm because of padme who was a female role model and showed that women can do things like politics which are basically no nos in are patriarch society. aotc ruined it by making padme a prop and into a bimbo who stayed with a maniac who throwed abuse at her thus legitimizing it in are society. rots sidelined her completely it was a discgrace but it had decent action.

TPM was alright. AotC was meh. RotS was solid.

Rots is still the best Star Wars film to date.

Agree with Beni, Deronn, Syndi - TPM was not a good movie, AOTC wasn't either but it had better highs and lower lows. ROTS is the most entertaining and re-watchable SW film for me.

ROTJ and ANH are sort of tied for me. The beginning of the saga and the end. I like them both for different reasons.

Still think Lucas shoulda gone with Wookiees instead of Ewoks, though.

That's not how it works in literature. Everything is subject to interpretation. If you've ever written a critical analysis paper in school you would understand that you provide your personal interpretation and back it up with reasonable evidence. How good you are at getting your point across and persuading the reader determines if it's good or not.

That is pretty sad when these youngsters don't appreciate the original classic. And rank a film which just poorly imitates it above the original classic.

I didn't say anything about The Phantom Menace, so not sure why you brought that up.

The film which poorly imitates ANH is TFA.

Fair enough. I'll always enjoy ANH more then TFA though due to having scene the general plot you mentioned first in that movie rather then TFA.

ANH didn't "copy" anything. He's just a jealous SW Hater.

Lucas drew on inspiration from many different films and franchises, but in the end made something very Unique and full of Originality and Imagination.

Comparing that to Episode 7 blatantly copying the original film of the same franchise is frankly retarded.

No one walked out of ANH saying that was a blatant copy of so and so.. They did with Episode 7, so this dumb propaganda for ANH began by the Lucas haters.

You weren't even aware of this and are still in denial. It was heavily copied. The difference is TFA is by far a more entertaining film than ANH. Most people have never seen the other film, dummy. That doesn't change reality just because you're upset Lucas plagiarized another man's work.

Exactly the way I have them thumb up

Might get blasted for this, but I found TPM much less boring than AOTC. The initial scenes were entertaining. We get to see a young Kenobi and his master for the first time, we get to see Jedi escaping from battle droids and hiding underwater. The pod racing was awesome, and the whole relationship between Anakin and Jinn developing was sort of interesting. Then, they go straight to battle in Naboo, where there were actually three different epic battles going on: Maul, starfighters, and the palace take-back. I don't know why ppl say it was boring, it was actually pretty action-packed.

Trocity
Tattooine was just so boring in TPM, they were there forever, it stunk up the whole movie for me. The podrace was alright, but I was never as big a fan of it as most other people. Jar Jar also puts a major damper on things. AOTC wasn't all that great, especially with the cringy Anakin/Padme scenes, but Jango was awesome, Yoda fighting for the first time, the clones, the Geonosis arena, the speeder chase. The only memorable thing about TPM is duel of the fates for me.

ROTS>ESB>ANH=ROTJ>TFA>AOTC>TPM for me.

quanchi112

Rotj

Kurk
I too used to hate ANH and TESB as a youngster. I would feel disappointment when watching Spike TV's SW marathon only to see that either of these two were playing the whole day. Then I matured a bit and learned to appreciate the classics despite them perhaps not having the best fight-scenes and CGI.

If you asked me 5 or so years ago I probably would've said
RotS>RotJ>AotC>TPM>TESB>ANH with TFA taking third or second place.

TPM is just a better movie than AotC, which was largely a dull and cringy romance between Padme and Anakin, the bitchy relationship between Anakin and Kenobi didn't help either. It has a few good action scenes, and a cool lightsaber fight, but so does TPM, but minus the other stuff. TPM also has a more cohesive plot, whereas AotC was just a messy bridge between Episode I & III.

Yeah, I'm bored by AOTC tbh. Like Beni said, it's just a messy bridge. It gets better the moment Anakin and Padme arrive in Geonosis, but before that... thumb down

UCanShootMyNova
Battle scenes are cool. That's the only enjoyable part of the movie.

Ziggystardust
If we're talking about the lightsaber fights, then I'd still pick every OT skirmish over anything seen from the prequels. Just from a suspension building perspective. But even from the perspective of a choreographer, episode 1 - 3 aren't anything special in the art of combat. There are several fan made lightsaber battles that trump them in this regard, and even on a shoe-string budget.

quanchi112
Ot duels were not impressive. If you like inefficient sloppy movements of a cocky dummy against a burned cripple then the Ot is for you. Get out that handicap sticker lorded Vader it's time to kick your inexperienced sons ass.

I looked forward to Snoke prior to the film. I also prefer Kylo to Vader. I am a trend setter. I the first to get places you usually are the last. It's no surprise Vader is your favorite character. Most people out there like him. Sheep.

the Emperor/Darth Sidious is my absolute favourite character in the mythos...this is probably why I enjoy the PT more, also the focus is on the Jedi and the aspect of the Force and the battle between the Sith and Jedi is what draws me to Star Wars.
