Empire is better IMO due to its story. It had a much more serious, darker feel to it since it was the middle movie in the series and didn't necessarily need to have a "happy" conclusion. If I just want to be entertained, Jedi is more enjoyable due to its more light-hearted nature and inevitably "happy" conclusion.

empire, much better movie, George Lucas had too much control over jedi.

in truth, all the bad parts of star wars are lucas's fault. I hate him. But when he had less control, i.e. Empire, awesome movie

This is not even a close call. ROTJ was too sickly sweet for me even when I was 13, when it came out. Empire is wonderfully violent and dark, and a great follow-up to SW. I think ROTJ is comparable to The Godfather Part 3 in terms of its massive dropoff in quality versus the first two, and really not much better than Episode One.

Voted for ROTJ due to the fact that I was just reminded of Princess Leia in a gold bikini. :p

As much as I liked the opening and the space sequences of RoTJ, I will have to go with Empire as well. Nice and dark and Vader layin the smack down on everybody. Sweet.

So hard to decide... :D


I must admit, however, that I could probably watch ESB more times than ROTJ. :-D

<< Empire of course.

ROTJ does have AWESOME space-battle, but... The Muppets! Bunch of primitive teddy-bears with spears and rocks beat Elite Imperial Stormtroopers equipped with lasers and walkers? Right

It had to be that way, though. It was ... <old ObiWan Kenobi voice> their destiny... </voice>

ROTJ!

I think most people (as reflected by the polls) like Empire more. I like Jedi more except for the fact about Leia's voice. Jeeeeeeeeeez, it's horrible.
