Im sorry if this has been posted before, but I did a search and nothing similar came up. So cast your vote on which Star Wars you think was better, and tell us why if you wish.

empire had the better ending. i mean, luke gets his hand cut off, finds out vader's his father, uh han gets frozen and taken away by boba fett. it ends on such a down note. i mean, thats what life is, a series of down endings. all jedi had was a bunch of muppets.


EDIT: that was from clerks, btw, for those who didn't see it.

ESB, of course!

Although it was amazing to see the giant jump in technology, fight scenes and special effects made by ROTJ in half the time between ANH and ESB.

Check out the DVDTalk.com for more discussion... you'll also learn that you can find them on DVD!

ESB - Return was the worst movie in the trilogy (ep1 doesn't even belong in the same category as those movies though).

ROTJ would have been as good if Lucas didn't include his muppets/Ewoks! I guess whenever his ego gets too big, he starts thinking of cute crap for the kiddies.

Personally I would go for Empire. The fight sequences with sabers and in space are alot better, even though i do like the vader/luke duel at the end of Jedi. I am old enough to remember watching all 3 in the theaters when they came out. ;) Well, watched Star Wars at a drive in, but you get the idea.

edit: small typo

I think this is a no brainer...ESB all the way. Had the best humor and story as well as the best opening.

hmm, when i was younger I thought ROTJ was the best one in the trilogy. I guess then ewoks kind of seemed cool.
But as I got older I relized that ESB is the best one.
