Most Watched Episode

So many goodies. It's without a doubt the most artistically rich film of the saga...Lucas, Chiang et al at the peak of their powers...and was such a leap in film effects even by SW standards at the time...the combination of the two has made made it irresisitable for me.

No film had even come close to doing something like the scale of the Coruscant speeder chase for example...that one scene alone is more effects work than most any other film until that point would have in a whole movie...

And you catch new stuff with repeated viewings of Clones more than any of the other SW films...this is especially true with the OT films of course because of the style of films they are, the content and/or budgets.

I somehow tend to not overwatch films that I really respect. I saw the LOTR films twice each in the theatres...wouldn't want to see them again for maybe another couple years...it would ruin it...don't know how/why people do it. Next time I'll see them, they could be just as incredible as when I first saw them.

Movies like the PT movies are meant for exactly this...SW nerds staying at home and skipping to the favorite parts of their "cartoon" over and over again cause it's neat-o.

Sorry to nitpick etc. but I really, really do not see anyone of this with Attack of the Clones. I mean the Coruscant Speeder chase might have been a landmark for CGI, but I didn't feel involed at all and there are definetly more interesting examples of sci-fi city scapes. half the landscape shots in Blade Runner are more interesting than this 10 minute sequence. The rest of the film I just don't feel involved in, Anakin isn't a likable character and Obi-Wan's presence seems awkward. It's difficult to point out specirfic places where the PT went wrong, this film, for me, just suffers from Lucas' whole reimagination of Star Wars with TPM.

My order would be:

1.) ROTS- Lots of lightsaber duels! A nice transition between the PT and the OT.

2.) TESB- Great storyline, good acting. My favorite parts was the Battle of Hoth, the lightsaber duel, flying through the asteroid, and meeting Yoda.

3.)ANH - Very original for its time. Unique storyline that intrigued audiences. My favorite parts was the Mos Eisely spaceport, rescuing Princess Leia, the attack on the Death Star, and meeting Darth Vader.

4.) AOTC- Okay storyline. The love between Anakin and Padme was too cheesy, nothing like the one between Han and Leia. However, I did like the Coruscant speeder chase, Jango Fett vs. Obi-Wan, Slave I vs. Obi-Wan's ship, the Geonosis Arena, and the climatic lightsaber duel (Go Yoda!)

5.) ROTJ- The storyline is great. However, I hated the Ewoks. I mean GL made all the other races look "real" but the Ewoks look like puppets. However, the Battle of Endor was still good. Luke fighting the rancor and the fight on the sail barge was cool (Leia choking Jabba, lol). I would have wanted Boba Fett to get a larger role in the storyline, however unfortunately he had to get swallowed, though he lives. My favorite parts was Luke fighting the rancor, assault on the sail barge, Yoda's death, so sad 🙁 , Battle of Endor, and the final lightsaber duel.

6.) TPM- The storyline is not that great. I mean some Trade Federation has an army to defeat an entire planet. I mean, isn't it supposed to be just a trade federation??? Only due to the advancements of technology is this movie saved. Anakin as a little boy is interesting, but I think he should have been slightly older. The best parts is Naboo Podrace and the duel of the fates.

The empire strikes back

It's ALL wrong...the whole film is clunky, uninvolving, horribly scripted/acted, plotless, badly paced...but darn cool lookin'.

I wouldn't watch it so much if it wasn't such crap... 😉

You better not be insulting Christopher Lee... 😛

Christopher Lee is the man. Darth Maul needed make-up to look menacing, all Lee needed was the dark sound of his voice.

I have watched the ESB most off all in my 2 trilogys but i gotta say that i am really stucked with episode III and i dont even know why, its like magnetism or probably because this is the end of ''all'' movies so there u have my answer and i know youll agree!!! lol

Empire Strikes Back, with A New Hope and ROTJ close behind.

The prequels suck.
