The Empire Strikes Back just edges it for me from the origionals and Revenge of the Sith from the latest batch as it brought everything together from the last 30 years If i have to pick one then Empire it is. I love the ice Planet Scenes

A resounding Empire Strikes Back

Due to its darkness and unfinished ending

Revenge of the Sith coming 2nd, as it is dark too, and finishes everything off quite nicely

Although I have to say I would love to see a 1 hour special of just Jar Jar binks getting tortured in the most painful and excrutiating ways known to the universe

A New Hope For the same reason as Richie, followed closely by The Empire Strikes Back, definitely the darkest of the proper ones

I'd watch that, count me in

"A new Hope" for me. Probably the best film ever. Way ahead of it'd time.

Closely followed by "The Empire Strikes Back"

Default Star Wars IV A New Hope

Probably because i saw it in the local cinema back when released. I was around 14/15. It was a great film and really made an impression. I suppose it was 'my generations' Star Wars

TBH i have not really enjoyed the last 3 films made. Great effects but felt boring with a tedius story (compared to the first three made) and just too long. some poor characters Ja-Ja ***** did not help.

The best is probably Empire Stikes Back - however I've not seen it for probably 15 years, so I've voted for the Revenage of the Sith as that was surprisingly good IMO - easily bettered the other 'new' ones!

Seconded. First film my Dad took me to see @ the cinema on my 5th Birthday!
At the time I told all the kids in the cinema the 2nd time how the film was progessing . 20 odd years later and some kid did the same to me when watching episode 2 before Yoda was to fight count dooku.

Thumbs up

empire strikes back, every time.

vader's reveal on the catwalk is one of the great moments of cinema. for me, it's up there with the opening shot from lawrence of arabia, the chestburster scene in alien and that car chase in bullitt. not forgetting jacqueline bisset's wet t-shirt in the deep...

Default Return Of The Jedi

Out of the newer films it would easily be revenge of the sith as that was more like the darker older films of the originals and the making of darth vader and the emperor.

However i think overall my favourite is the return of the jedi, it brings the story to a very fitting end. That and the build up to the final battle scene is very good along with the fantastic fight with luke and darth vader at the end on the emperors ship.

All the old ones are very good and they all have very good scenes in them which make them special.

I still love watching the attack on the deathstar in a new hope, especially cranked up on dolby digital

Star Wars VI The Revenge of the Jedi
Never seen this film. Was it fan produced ?

Quite frankly I'm horrified that this went 30 odd posts before being flagged

I think you're wrong. I think it was changed from Revenge because Jedi's don't look to take revenge. That's what I thought it was anyway.
