I think The Empire Strikes Back is the best of them, I voted for it, but Episode 4 also has something very special, as it was the first.

Revenge of the Sith easily. AOTC and ESB are the runners-up. Overall, I found the prequels much more satisfying than the original trilogy.

That's sacrilegious.

"The Empire Strikes Back" far and away the best IMO.

All of the originals are amazing, but I think my favourite is episode VI. The end is phenomenal.

I'm a sacrilegious kind of guy. But I think that first of all, the characters in the original series were kind of stock characters, the farm boy turned hero, the roguish friend, the old wise man, the princess, etc. Also, there was no political intrigue, simply small rebel army vs. giant imperial army. The latter two were actually better than the first one, but IV I really don't care for much at all. Also, I think the whole jedi vs. sith storyline was too underplayed in the original trilogy. I find that whole thing much more interesting than space battles and blowing up giant superweapons. I wanted more lightsaber action.
The prequels on the other hand I thought had much more well-thought out characters. It had plenty of political intrigue and went in-depth into the jedi/sith storyline that was so missing from the original trilogy. Finally, and I know I'm probably alone here, but I find the acting in the prequels much better. Hayden could act circles around Mark Hammill.

Hayden is a dreadful actor. I'm told I look like him.
But the originals were so much more genuine than the newer ones.

I like the one they call "Star Wars", It was the first and best. I don't care for the one they call "A new hope". 2nd choice TESB.

I like all of the originals about the same. The prequels are OK but just not as good.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about the same movie there.

Yeah except when I saw it as a kid in '77 it was just called Star Wars, In '77 we didn't need no new hopes.

love all six... taken as a whole it's an amazing series barring JarJar and a few horribly sappy moments, best individual films probably episodes 3 and 4.

Have you ever seen Shattered Glass or especially Life as a House?
Christensen's performances in those movies are excellent.

I hear you....I saw it many,many times as a 11 year old kid in 77 and it wasn't Episode 4:A New Hope.It was just Star Wars.
I personally like all the movies but from the OT I would definitely pick The Empire Strikes Back.From the PT it is without a doubt Revenge of The Sith.I love that movie,I waited a lonnnngggggggg time to see Anakin Skywalker turn to the Dark Side and honestly,the movie didn't disappoint.

Empire Strikes Back. See the movie Clerks for my reasoning.
