Which was a better movie: The Empire Strikes Back or Revenge of the Sith

starwars Of course return of the jedi's better all the original movies are better than the new prequels.

I liked ROTJ better than ESB as well. I have a hard time with the beginning of ESB; it feels very slow to me.

My favorites in order:

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

Rotj
ANH
ESB
ROTS
TPM
AOTC

Star Wars and the empire strikes back are the best

Ya, you should tell that to Roger Ebert. He actually gave Thumbs Down to The Empire Strikes Back in 1980 on the Sneak Previews show. I could not believe he did that, but he did.

Today of course he loves TESB. So even major film critics change their minds.

film critics suck if u want an opinion on a movie u should just see it urself and find out

ESB is my favorite, it always was but not that the saga is complete we should view the movies as one

starwars I agree, ROTS was too hyped up over here with constant trailers of the film and then when I watched it and enjoyed it wasn't what I expected that much CG.

Man, today's movie trailers spoils so much of the story nowadays I completely avoid watching them if it's a movie I will see regardless.

The ROTS trailer showed vader and even the last scene of vader looking over the death star with palpatine! I'm so glad I didn't see the trailer before I saw the movie.

I liked ROTS more than, say TPM and AOTC (I really didn't like AOTC because of the stilted script and ludicrity of certain parts, but that is only my sentiment). However, the OT had such good storytelling in it that I cared about the characters - I became involved with them. I actually became attached to people like Leia, Solo, and Luke because I could identify with them. None of the PT movies share that quality, so I couldn't really feel as much a part of them. So, just because ANH was the most meaningful to me, I liked it the best, followed by ESB and ROTJ (it's a close call for me, because I loved the ending scene with Luke and Vader as well as Jabba's palace, though the Ewoks brought an unrealistic element which almost distilled the plot of ROTJ - however, ESB was more dark and saddening, which still brings a certain depth to the table). In order, I would have to say that my SW picks go as follows, or at least something like this:

ANH
ESB
ROTJ
ROTS
TPM
AOTC

I thought Revenge of The Sith was the best Star Wars movie.

starwars Unfortunately I saw the trailer for ROTS at least five times before I went to see it, and showing the darth vader emperor at the death star while it was being constructed was suicide.

Both of them are the same ruling

hmmmmm....the bothe movies does the evil dudes win and i like that 😄 well they are both the same good

U will never get an honest answer. You are dealing with 25 years of bias versus a movie that came out 3 months ago.

end of story. or ask someone 10 years from now who just saw them all for the 1st time.

Empisre Strikes Back.

ESB has more personal value to me . . . it all comes down to one's own experiences and opinions.

is this thread still open? ESB - hands down!

why not make a thread titled 'Which was the better movie: A New Hope, or The Empire Strikes Back?' - now THAT would be a much more closer race😉

starwars Their isn't really any contest between ANH and ESB because empire strikes back is way better

1. ESB
2. ANH
3. RotJ
4. RotS
5. TPM
6. AotC

Revenge of the Sith Definitly
