    ROTJ for me. SSD Executor goodness :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭BioHazRd


    Empire Strikes Back does it for me..

    IMO Ewoks ruined ROTJ


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,779 ✭✭✭Ping Chow Chi


    I like the bit in RoTJ where the little ewoks threw little pointy sticks at the 'elite' storm troopers and all the storm troopers died :E

    I've just traveled back in time from the year 2005 and I have to tell you that Episode III is just amazing! It restored my faith in the SW saga and George Lucas as a writer! Therefore I vote for it! Second fav is Empire Strikes Back.

    If TPM didn't have all the various references to the SW sega at large it could have been made by diseny


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 IrishGuykokoJin


    Hey, what about the film "Ewoks"?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    The Ewok movie isnt part of the Star Wars saga really though.
    I picked ROTJ as my favourite.

    Empire Strikes Back.

    I wasn't particularly fond of the Ewoks, though they didn't bother me. Empire just had the best mix of everything. Overall it was the best IMHO. I also go to see it in the cinema so that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    Hmm Empire was my least fave.. also the only one i did NOT go and see in the cinema when they were re-released! Well i suppose it was better than Phantom Menace but i prefer Ep 2 over Empire for some reason.. but i loved Return of the Jedi.. that was my fave! Ep 4 comes close second


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 730 ✭✭✭Irish_Ranger_IR


    A New Hope,

    when I saw this as a child, wow, this is the film that made the world fall in love with the Idea, now my dreams of Star Wars becoming anything like the past is falling away fast,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    attack of the clones is my fave at the mo, but i havn't seen the other 3 in nearly 10 years, going to have to get round to re-watching em


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    how come 8 ppl voted for the phantom menace??? didnt know that there were that many under 5's on this board...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Hmm... Couldn't really choose between Empire and Jedi.
    But I voted Jedi.

    The scene where Luke cuts off Vader's hand is the definetive scene of the entire saga!
    Everything was building towards that very moment!
    Extremely powerfull music also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,592 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Voted for The Return Of The New Phantom Clone Strikes Back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Voted for "Star Wars".

    --

    "A new hope" my arse. Only chisselers and muppets call it that.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    looks like someone has been ****ing with the poll


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭Kalina


    I voted for Return of the Jedi. Best of the lot.
    I enjoyed Attack of the Clones too, Yoda's light-sabre moves were brilliant but why did George Lucas pick Hayden Christiansen for the role of Anakin? He can't act!!!!

    Voted for Jedi - the speeder bike scene alone does it for me :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 JarJar bink


    Star Wars ie sza goody

    Yoda Miss Piggy same person


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,174 ✭✭✭[CALIBUR]


    Attack of the Clones was good but empire strikes back is sweet. In attack of the clones the part when yoda fights the guy some people were laughfing..? .I nealy turned around and told them stfu!. that was really cool part in attack of the clones.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 56 ✭✭Keep on Trekin


    Make "Trek" not "War":)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    Empire. All Jedi had was a bunch of muppets.

    Unless you take the contracters into accou....


    Damn you Kevin Smith.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 210 ✭✭BJJ


    The phantom menace, Darth Maul is a bad @ss & would kick Vader's geriatric @ss any day!

    Also the Pod race was cool, and the end fight with Qui-gon and Darth Maul.

    Aslo I liked the cool space ships, ( like Formula 1 cars ) , planets and droids much better than storm troopers and the crummy death star.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 136 ✭✭fisifan01


    what? star trek may be good but it is NOT starwars. starwars is far more imaginative and action packed


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 210 ✭✭BJJ


    True , action packed but

    Why because it copied Yojimbo, War of the Worlds and Fitroy's Metropolis?

    Or because it uses the muppet "Yoda" "Anakin" the teenage witch, or geriatric "Vader"

    Phantom Menace with Darth Maul and Pod Race was the only good Star Wars

    Like when Shmi dies in AotC? The music there made it one of the most defining moments in the film.

    I voted Empire for the same reasons as dante has in clerks ;)

    No way Phantom Menace is the greatest one, it is the first and best, pod race, datrh maul


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭DiscoStu


    empire without a doubt. "luke i am your father" the best bit. infact im going to play a one on one with darth vader in the bespin exaust level of jk II.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    How i ask you is Phantom Menace ahead of a new hope and Jedi?? Dont get me wrong i liked it but not compared to any of the other movies!

    i had to vote for ESB.

    if you think of each film as a third of a book then "a new hope" is the opening, it introduces all the characters and sets the scene (interstellar rebellion with billions of lives at stake) then you have an uplifting end to the first third (destruction of the deathstar) the second third is totally character driven witha bit of action thrown in (battle of hoth and cloud city saber battle) but the middle section of the book is also the most important part, its where ther plot twist comes into shape (luke being vaders son) and ends on a low note (lukes hand is cut off, he finds out hes been lied to his whole life and the rebellion is scattered)
    The third part of the book is the climax, and for the whole section you can feel the build up, a little comic releif is introduced to lighten the tension, then you have the finale where good triumphs over evil.


    now if you take a look at episode 1 & 2 it follows the same pattern

    episode 1 - introduces anikin as a boy and padme naberie, also the jedi (obi wan yoda etc etc) and sets the scene of a troubled republic (trade federation) but it ends on an uplifting beat, the trade federation is defeated and there was much rejoicing

    episode 2 - character driven again, anakin is older and more controlled by his feelings for padme, the plot twist.....the jedi started the clone wars!?!! (although influenced by palpatine)
    it also ends on a low point, the jedi have been severly weakened by their battle with dooku and anakin has lost his arm.

    my idea of episode 3
    the climax has to be the formation of the rebel alliance, pure and simple :)

    Star wars for me too, in my day this film had a two word title.

    New ones are a bit too Dawson's Creek for my liking..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭Borzoi


    I'm with Bard on this one (spot the old farts)

    Star Wars. Note the. A new hope indeed!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,136 ✭✭✭Pugsley


    I voted for AotC, i never liked ESB much, it seemed unfinished at the end the 1st time i saw it. RotJ was my 2nd fave tho, luke burning vader in the end was a great ending to a great battle.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 210 ✭✭BJJ


    Phantom Menace
