jrockster21 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I also didn't have a huge problem with the Ewoks...the movie to me just wasn't as good as the other two in my opinion (ep IV and V). But Carrie Fisher in an extremely skimpy bikini made up a lot of ground...:mmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbleDanger Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 I don't really get the ewok hatred. The Jar-Jar binks hatred is entirely justified though. :shot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutSkins08 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 episodes V and III are my favorite. episode V had the best writing and the best plot twist of any movie EVER. i mean come on, you find out that darth vader is luke's father and that han is frozen in carbonite! after seeing that movie, i couldn't wait to see episode VI to see what happened next. and episode III is one of my favorites cause anikan got the snot kicked out of him by obi-wan (the greatest jedi ever). best lightsaber fight scene.

TradeTheBeal! Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 "Empire" is certainly the best paced and "directed" film of the group....I saw it in the theatre and it gave me goosebumps...I would put it in an all-time top 5! "Revenge" is the only other episode the came close to making me feel the same way...Still, the death of Anakin was epic! The rest range from ambitious but cheesy to calculated and sloppy....not unlike the 6 Star Trek films in some ways. Star Wars: 1) Empire - V 2) Revenge - III 3) Hope - IV 4) Clones - II 5) Return - VI 6) I...just dont like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty P For The Pulitzer Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I had to go with Episode VI. It was my favorite one by far growing up because ***SPOILER ALERT!!***(j/k!) they kick some ass in the end, and Vader saving Luke at the end was my favorite part of the original trilogy. The Ewoks never really bothered me, probably because I was a kid when it came out. And yes Jrock, Leia in the bikini was pretty awesome at the time. Too bad they couldn't force Natalie Portman into sporting that bad boy! IV and V were pretty close for me, but I have to go with IV by a hair for 2nd best. Mainly because it started it all. V was great too though, one of the best non-happy endings for a movie ever, imo. III was by far the best of the new trilogy. It was as close to perfect as any of them, and the ending was pretty emotional. I liked the other two a lot (II a little bit more than 1), but I had some beef with both of them. I couldn't stand Jake Lloyd, and thinking of his voice makes me want to bash my head into my desk. I never had any hate for Jar Jar though. And the love story in II was, as everyone has said, done very poorly. I also wish Lucas didn't get so computer-reliant in the new trilogy. The effects were cool and all, but it lost a lot of the luster from the original trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate him too. I really hate him. I want him to fall into a large lat of peanut butter (peter pan brand). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 they go in this order for me:ep. V ep. iii ep. vi (should have been the best, but those damn ewoks) ep. iv ep. ii ep. i i agree with that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hate him. I want him to fall into a large lat of peanut butter (peter pan brand). I'm not a big fan of Hayden either. He didn't have a whole lot to work with though, Anakin was supposed to be that whiny and annoying. I like that Lucas went with an unknown actor for the part, but he picked the wrong guy, imo.

I want him to fall into a large lat of peanut butter (peter pan brand). From what I understand, although I haven't seen the movie, Hayden Christensen did a very good job in Shattered Glass. Some of the blame has to rest on Lucas's directing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYANJOHNXI Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 my favorite is return of the jedi...i thought the empire stikes back was the best though...but if i had to pick...i rank first contact...the wrath of khan and the undiscovered country up there in the mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Prime Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 That Haden dude is THE worst actor ever, either that or GL is the worst director ever. I say that because at points even Natalie Portman, Liam Neison and Ewan Mcgregor sucked and they aren't sucky actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zguy28 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I generally liked all of the origianal better. Empire was my favorite, just because I loved the Hoth and Cloud City scenes. It was also the darkest. The only part I didn't like was Mark Hamill's famous "Nooooooo!!!!!" when he found out the truth about his dad. He just butchered it. The newer ones were good, but seemed geared more for kids than adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember sitting on my dad's lap at the movies in Marlow Heights, Maryland watching A New Hope, when I was 3 in 1977. One of my earliest clear memories actually.

oriolesfan93p Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 The biggest argument that could be made for episode 3 in my opinion would be if you didn't watch the original trilogy and thus didn't know that Vader was Anikin. That being said, the revelation at the end of Empire isn't as good if you had seen episode 3. I try to judge the trilogies seperatly and when I watch the latest trilogy I try to block out what I know of the first one... I know this is hard but that being said it makes the latest trilogy a lot better. I say 3, there could have easily been another movie with all the storyline that they had to cover, but they were forced into it with the other movies already made and thus I feel they did a phenominal job with it. of the original 3 I would say Empire strikes back, and I would definatly rank them in this order III V IV II VI I I loved them all but this would have to be the order based upon the story lines along with the execution of said storylines...

Henry Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Abolutely fantastic movies: IV V III Great movies, but not quite at the same level: VI II Good movie, but clearly a step below the others: I Not suprisingly, the middle movies are the best. The stage has been set, and the tension is the highest. Ep1 had to do the most work, and Ep6 had to provide a decent payoff. I think both acheived that, but at the expense of the individual movies. Like Code said, you really gotta look at it as one big movie. I liked them all, but that's the order if I had to make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
