2 Favorite Star Wars Movies??

[Reaver]

I was wondering what everyone's 2 favorite Star Wars movies where, and why. Being a Star Wars fanboy and all that, I was wondering what everyone else thought. Any questions, feel free to ask. If you don't like Star Wars, please simply move along, don't be childish and piss all over a thread just because you can. Thank you.

As far as my personal favorite go, there's no competition:

#1: Empire. This is easily the best Star Wars movie, it has the best plot, best ending, best soundtrack, and all the legendary scenes are from Empire. The most quoted line in all of Star Wars, if not all films, comes from this movie. This movie introduced Yoda. This movie is kick ass.

#2: Jedi. This is my second favorite movie, because it showcases the final confrontation between Luke, Vader, and the Emperor. Those God-damn Ewoks are the reason it couldn't really make it compete with Empire. Little fuzzy midget creatures beating and outsmarting the Empirial Army? Bullshit. Everything else about the movie was kick ass though, so it still gets an easy second place.

SIDE NOTE: I honestly wish Darth Maul could have been put into another movie, since Jar Jar managed to make Episode I one of the worst movies ever. Darth Maul is, in my opinion, better than Vader. Sure, Vader just walks around ruining everyone's shit, and I still love Vader as a character, but he's clunky ass hell. Maul was awsome with a lightsaber, and barely got beat out by possibly the greatest Jedi Master ever, next to Yoda. (Obi-Wan). Also, I actually find that if I just forget about paying attention everytime Jar Jar is on-screen, Episode I is actually a kick ass movie. (Although any of the new movies just suck in comparison to the original ones.)

So yeah, there's my little ramble on Star Wars. So what do you guys think?

all i know is the last one sucked i just didn't like it at all.

 

[Reaver]

as in what? Return of the Jedi, the last in the series? Or Revenge of the Sith, the newest one?

 

[Homer]

revenge of the sith, i liked the old ones much better.

 

[elluko]

I liked #2
Anakins a fuckin douche, but The creatures were awesome.
and #3
Yodas a tank and it was so much more dramatic then the others.

A New Hope (the fourth movie in the series but the first one made) has to be one of the greatest movies ever made. It redefined SciFi for a whole new generation, changed the way Special FX are used in movies, brought people back to the theaters & gave us one of the best fairy tales since the Brothers Grimm.

I have a hard time choosing between the rest, although Jar Jar Binks was annoying as hell, so was young Annikin - yeah not a big Hayden Christensen fan. Empire Strikes Back does have some great moments.

I didn't like any of the new ones. Jar Jar is the worst character ever (even worse than the Ewoks... at least they got their own spin-off movie) and Hayden whateverhisnameis has got to be the worst actor ever. All he did in episodes 2 and 3 was whine and complain the whole time.
Now. My #1 choice is Empire. It was the best story IMO. Then #2 would be A New Hope. Come on... a young Carrie Fisher running around in that loose-fitting white get up with no bra on? What's not to like about that? Boobars own me!

 

[EmperorKupcake]

Ha, excelent. My kind of thread.

In my opinion, 5 is the best in the series. I concur with Reaver when he talked about the best plot and stuff. However, 6 seemed as if it was created to entertain the masses, as opposed to create a real cinematic masterpiece.
I personally liked 3, though. Hayden Christianson or whater the hell his name is absolutely butchered the entire PT, however, the plot and structure of the movie was very, very good. They managed to sucessfully create enough tension in the beginning (in such a limited amount of time) to really make the action in the end worthwhile. Also, John Williams outdid himself in 3. As a musician, and a die hard John Williams fanatic, I can safely say that this was Williams' best work since the original soundtrack.

So, in my opinion from best to worst: 5,3,6,4,1,2.

"Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets"

I'm completely agree with Dante

 

[Bagel]

episode 2 just for the clones
episode 4 for the originality

favorite species just for the heck of it..are jawas

 

[Sparkler]

The original will always be my favourite followed closely by Return of the Jedi.The rest are all good IMO but ROTS was a great climax to the saga.

On a side note is anybody here loking forward to seeing Fanboys when its released early in 2008?
Fanboys (2008)

 

[debbie t]

any starring jabba the hut ,hes my favourite character

 

[Peter Parka]

IV and VI, any with Ja ja aka Anton Ferdinand and I have to restrain myself from putting a fist through the telly!:willy_nilly:

 

[hubersrj]

I like #4, it set a precident that all other films afterwards had to follow...it layed the foundation for the largest film/product franchise in history.

I like #6 because Carrie Fisher wears a metal bikini that she's practically falling out of...

 

[Sparkler]

Those metal bikinis are just awesome but quite wrong on some wearers.

The new ones suck.
the old ones while they have cheesy language at times, still keep you interested.

the whole Jar Jar thing was a disaster on the new movies for me. The overly-emphasized description of what makes a jedi (mos espa scene with Qui Gon and anakin's mom) was just plain stupid. At times i felt like the new movies were directed or aimed to the younger population in order to gain popularity among them. Lucasarts failed to see that the storyline itself is the movie's biggest draw, no need for cheesy younger audience appealing character was needed.

I did like the big battle scenes in the new movies, close to the old one's space fight scenes.

 

[Mase]

A New hope, and Empire Strikes back, were the 2 I liked. Return of the Jedi was pretty good too.

The newer movies were Crap, though. Jar Jar, had to be the most annoying character. And Hayden Christensen can't act.

What he said!!!!!:clap:clap:clap So very true!



There's a possibility of a severe rant on the way after a few more beers!!!!!!

 

[Peter Parka]

What I find disappointing in the new films is the terrible acting from great actors and actresses. Ewan McGregor and Natallie Portman are awesome but completely shit, as an understatement, in Star Wars!

 

[juggler]

Episodes 4 and 5 rule. Don't agree, however, with some of the re-editing of episode 4. The cantina scene with greedo for instance! Why did they have to alter it so that Greedo shot first????? Han Solo's character was lessened imensely as a result. They should have left it so that Greedo threatens Solo and Solo just shoots him!!! No warning! Just ZAP and end of problem!!!!
At least they left in the bit where the Stormtrooper bangs his head in the Deathstar Control room!
