Gandalfia Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Empire Strikes Back for me. When I voted I never EVER imagined that TPM would be number 1. I'm shocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steviefull Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 My order of preference goes something like this 1. Star Wars 2. Return of the Jedi 3. Empire Strikes Back 4. Attack of the Clones 5. The Phantom Menace I must admit I'm a bit of a die-hard towards the original movies and the thought of special editions and archive editions and any general tampering makes me break out in a cold sweat. I do believe there's a lot to enjoy in the prequels if you give them a chance but they are nowhere near as good as the originals. TPM tends to be flat and boring in places, AOTC tried too hard to be a manga cartoon. The biggest problem is that I don't care about any of the characters and they lack any kind of emotional resonance. You may poke fun at the ewoks, but if you're talking about irritating, sickly sweet, over cutesy characters, the prequels have them in abundance! Kenny Well as we are order of preferencing. 1. The Phantom Menace - (though I'm sure EPIII will oust this) 2. A New Hope - It's the one that started it after all. 3. Attack of the Clones - There were parts of this that just didn't quite work for me. 4. The Empire Strikes Back - Once great, but get's slower on every viewing. 5. Return of the Jedi - As a climax to the saga it is a major let down, there should have been a greater feeling of threat, and there just wasn't. I know you have stated that you may not care for any of the characters in the prequels, but I don't feel the same. Having remained spoiler free for the whole of Episode I, I was shocked when I saw Qui-Gon, and then Darth Maul die. I also thought the scene of Anakin slaughtering the Tusken Raiders and Yoda's feelings of sadness at the end of Attack of the Clones were great scenes, you could really epathise with both of them at these moments. I said nothing of the Ewoks being cutesy or sickly sweet, nor was I poking fun at them, it's just that I personally found them annoying by the fact that this should have been the Wookies instead as the allies of the Rebellion, as was originally conceived. (See EPIII Spoiler post for more on this). And as a replacement they just didn't measure up. At this point the Rebellion should be struggling for their very existence and I just thought the Ewoks were a poor choice by Lucas as allies. I'd also be interested to find out who you found sickly sweet in Episode I. I'd agree on Anakin and his buddies, Wald and Kitster, (but then they are supposed to be kids and I find that acceptable) the only other possibility is maybe Podracer Ben Quadrinaros but I'm struggling to find any others. Obi-Wan Well for what its worth here is my order 1.Empire - The darkest and therefore best of the lot 2.Star Wars - New Hope or wahtever you wanna call it, the one that started it all, so therefore needs to be listed high 3.Attack Of The Clones - Took my breath away on first viewing, diminishes with each viewing, but still enjoyable 4.Return Of The Jedi - Wouldn't call it a poor finish, just average, a decent enough film 5.Phantom Menace - Porr title for an average film Just my opinion, but you know it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noddy Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 (edited) PM, ATOC are enjoyable but poor films. The acting is lazy and it is insulting to even compare them with the originals. The next one will be equally as pants but it will while-a-way a few hours and let the SW geeks wet themselves about droids, fighters, story arcs etc without bothering the rest of us for a bit. My vote would be Empire. Edited October 19, 2004 by Noddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clapperboard Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I love The Phantom Menace and Attacl of the clones. I just watched the other ones on DVD and didn't like them that much they just seemed very old fashioned and nowhere near as exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
