I actually prefer the one with the teddy bears, especially the opening half hour or so as this feels ver much like one of those old school serials. It is the most adventurous of the bunch and I love adventure films.

Return of the Jedi is amazing too. Its my favorite for the opening and Throne Room scenes alone.

Has my favorite lines too:

"Give yourself to the dark side.. it is the only way to save your friends. Your thoughts betray you, your feelings for them are strong.. especially for.. sister.. so you have a twin sister.. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me, now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the dark side.. then perhaps she will!"

"You have failed your highness, I am a Jedi like my father before me."

"A Jedi Knight?! Luke can't even take care of himself! I'm out of it for a little while and people get delusions of grandeur!"

It's modern insecure meta-commentary sequel. See also Jurassic World, Halloween.

Even so I'm eager to learn...What would TESB directed by George Lucas be like?

Lots of politics and speeches.

His username has nothing to do with Species. It's simply a shortened form for silly.

Doesn't seem like there is much love for Empire on here?  :-\

Everyone knows The Phantom Menace is the best Star Wars movie FFS.

I consider TESB to be the best in the series in any of the trilogy series.  Prequel/OG/Sequel. 


SiL

TESB is alright. It's not quite as bad as Blade Runner but it's up there.
