I like ROTJ best (also the nub nub song). Does that make me a bad person?

followed by:
SW
Empire
(big gap here)
Clone Wars
Revenge
Attack
Phantom

The Clone Wars series and toys are really the only modern toys I'm into at the moment. They are great, stylized and there's not enough of them to make you break the bank collecting them.

ALL of the Star Wars films have things that make you go hmmm, but the newer ones were not a part of my childhood, so they didn't get off as easy. I teach high school art and the newer films are LOVED by my students while the old ones are just glazed over. Darth Maul and Mace Windu are by far the most popular.

Like I said, all of the films have entertained me, but a few of them, like Phantom Menace, are hard to rewatch (although from the point the music kicks in at the end of Phantom Menace where you see Darth Maul flash the double lightsaber the whole movie rocks).

I knew what was going to be in this thread before entering (I actually searched Star Wars to see what's been talked about here). Older men, in my experience, wouldn't even give the prequels a chance. Phantom Menace was a chore, but the last two (ESPECIALLY SITH) were good. Return of the Jedi is the worst of them all because, like the original poster said, Empire left off on such a note that the movie took what had been built up and pooped all over it.

I love the Clone Troopers. I have loved the CGI show too. The last three episodes were great.

Had they been released without the Star Wars title and the characters given different names it could have been a decent sci fi series. But it essentially pooped on the original trilogy.

Oh and I remembered another Star Wars thing I liked - The animated Clone Wars shorts.

I just thought of another thing ......

R2 D2 can fly ?

Why didn't he do this in the original trilogy ?

Man, the prequels really suck.

I really can't think of one good thing to say about any of them.

I like Star Wars and Empire, Jedi is alright but it's a real sign of things to come.

Those other movies just ain't for me, they made me less of a Star Wars fan.

The %^#$@% kid across the street exposed my kid to the wonders of the Clone Wars the other day, so all that sheltering I did is out the window with the boy.

The guy that played teen vader was such a bad actor, that alone ruined it for me.

He said his lines like he was reading directly from a script he'd never read before.

His approach killed it for those that saw it that way.

He's actually not as bad an actor as he seems to many in the SW movies
(neither is Portman!)

Unfortunately his approach was to imbue a stilted "Vader-like" dialogue
accent into his portrayal ----it killed it for many.

I had bigger problems with CLONES than that accent.

Hayden Christensen? I like him,I thought he sucked a little in episode 2 but he was good in episode 3

and he kicked *** in Jumper

1. Star Wars
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. Return of the Jedi
5. Attack of the Clones
6. The Phantom Menace

It's hard to make an "order" but if I did, then THAT^^^
would be it.

I don't totally hate CLONES and PHANTOM---still---
I kinda wish REVENGE OF THE SITH was the only
sequel made to the original trilogy.

A good idea would have been to split the events of SITH up into
2 or even 3 movies---THAT story was really the most important one.

Some flashbacks would've helped accentuate it if it was done that way
even IF flashbacks aren't a STAR WARS device normally.

Fantastic Post !!!

You GOT to be kidding me.

As much as I hate the new trilogy...the one with Darth Maul is so much better (much faster and furious)...it's not even funny.

No talking in that lightsaber duel either...unlike Obi Wan and Anakin's encounter...nothing but whining like a couple of school girls in that one....back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...

Look at it this way...
you like Movies...,
Lets say for the Sake of trying to get into your Narrow Minded views for a minute,.. you can Humor me....
Say you Had a Brother,.. Say your Brother Killed your Entire Family,.. & it was your Task to Deal with Him...., to put an end to him, after everything you 2 had been threw....

That scene was very powerful,.. on Many different levels, Not just the Sabre Battle,... inwhich Was very High Octaned . & No,.. I am not "Kidding" You. It is My Opinion,.. which was asked in this Particular thread. You shared yours,.. There was mine.

The last light sabre Battle between ObiWan & Anikan was the greatest one ever.
