I thought the mods had put an end to these ranking threads?

If this be true, then I apologize. Will get to adding up the points soon.

Who cares about the rest. But the first Star Wars does edge out Empire Strikes Back by a little.

The first 3 are kinda interchangeable for me. 3 had some bad acting but was also the most entertaining. I admit I haven't watched 4 in many years but it was pretty boring/terrible from what I remember. 2 had the most cringe-worthy moments but at least it had a cool light saber battle.

Wait, you didn't get mod approval for this?!

I dont understand how anyone can put anything but Episode 1 on the bottom, that movie is complete crap except for the final 30 minutes.

6 - Luke and Vader still the most powerful scene in the entire series, I can live with Ewoks for that.

Voting/Ranking threads have been banned.....with good reason IMO.

This is a discussion forum, not a ballot box. I'm not sure what we gain by having 200 replies that are ranked lists.

1) Empire Strikes Back is my number one, it has the best pacing, story and memorable moments. 5*

2) Revenge of the Sith - I actually think despite some flaws (mainly an over reliance on CGI in areas where it was not nessssary) it is a pretty solid movie, had some good scenes and was good to see the formation of the empire. 4*

3) Return of the Jedi - Had some good moments, but it had far too many generic plot elements. 3*

4) A New Hope - I was torn between this and Return of the Jedi for my 3rd place, suffers the same plot problems. 3*

5) Attack of the Clones and The Phantom Menace are joint last because they are pretty poor apart from the odd scene. 2*

People will probably think I'm mad for my ratings, but I really think people love the original trilogy just for the sake of loving it as well as hating the new trilogy unfairly.

[Flying_Phoenix]

Revenge of the Sith was shit. It only seemed "good" because people compared it to the two other prequels. Its every bit as "good" as a "good" console Sonic games post 1994. "Decent" film at best, "crap" compared to what made us so into the franchise in the first place.

6 - Luke and Vader still the most powerful scene in the entire series, I can live with Ewoks for that.

This, 1,000 times this. The ewoks get weighed too heavily when they weren't even that important in the overall film. Not to mention they were pretty much the only thing kid friendly in the film. Also Bunker Assault, Death Star Attack, Vader/Luke/Palps easily the most intense 3 headed climax at the time.

EDIT. I've also decided that TPM's worst crime was being boring (it has other problems too). AOTC is a fucking trainwreck. Sure the arena battle is cool, but everything else was awful.....except the sonic mine sound effect. I want an alarm that sounds like that.

1 is the most enjoyable of the prequels because it's hard to totally hate Quigon, kid Vader is slightly less painful to watch than emo Vader (or at least easier to ignore), and because when you watch it you can imagine that, even though it sucks, maybe there is something that could be salvaged. Maybe it's not all ruined forever. When you watch the sequels, there is no more room for imagination. You know for a fact it is ruined, and that makes it harder to watch.

As much as I was the start of the bad shit, it wasn't nearly as bad as III was. Then again, III might just be the second worst only because so many people acted like it was a return to classic Star Wars quality.

I used to put Phantom Menace ahead of Attack of the Clones, but changed after I saw the 3D re-release. Jake Lloyd's acting was so fucking terrible and it was overall boring as shit. The plot didn't go anywhere. At least Attack of the Clones, despite its terrible middle section with Padme and Anakin, had some awesome action scenes and set pieces and moved the plot along.

I is the best of the prequels because it actually looks like a real movie, not a cheap video game. And it actually feels like Star Wars in a couple scenes. That's more than can be said for the other two.

I always kind of look at A New Hope as a movie that, if no sequels or spin-offs of any kind were made, it would still stand all on its own. Empire was an incredible follow up, but the whole foundation started to get shaky after that.

but..but..Obi Wan had the higher ground!! Sure, they were jumping all over the place just minutes earlier, but it was obvious that small hill that Obi Wan had landed upon gave him complete advantage over Anakin.

Also, one minute joining the dark side to save his wife, next minute, killing small children and don't get me started on Captain "I-give-up-for-no-apparent-reason" Yoda.

I think Sith is the worst of all of them because of the wasted opportunity. In capable hands, it could have easily been the best of all the Stars Wars because of the story it was attempting to tell. In George Lucas' hands, however, it was an abject failure.

Empire was a "capable" follow up. Otherwise I agree completely.

[Monroeski]

I'll have to think for a bit on my actual ranking order, but one thing I will say is that Return of the Jedi is a lot damn worse than most people remember. Ewoks were Jar-Jar a decade and a half before Jar-Jar, and Chewbacca does a TARZAN YELL for god's sake.

The prequels were a wasted opportunity. In the specific case of Sith though, I don't see how they could have turned out a quality product considering the casting and story of EP1 and EP2. By that point nobody gave a shit about any of the characters. It could have clearly been better, but in no way would it have been comparable to any of the originals.
