Not even. If he got good performances out of people and didn't have bad dialogue and actually engaging shyt, I'd love them. 3 is good but there's no way I see it being better than any of the original 3.

That's all subjective.

Imo Ewan and Ian McDarmid (Palpatine) did their thing in all the movies. Liam Neeson killed Episode I. Natalie Portman was bad in Episode I, ok in ii and good in 3.

Hayden did what the script asked of him in Episode II, and killed it in III.

Carrie Fisher was coked up during Empire and Jedi, and Harrison Ford wanted his character to be killed off - it showed in Carrie's lazy acting in Jedi and Harrison gaining weight during his freeze in carbonite.

imo Episode I is the only movie I dislike. Episode II is the same as Jedi, a dope but flawed movie. Episode III is up there with Star Wars and Empire.

And that's fine if you're saying it's subjective but I don't see how anyone can say episode 3 is arguably the best of the entire series. Especially after what I just saw yesterday

I loved TFA, but I have to deduct some serious points for the fact that it felt like a quasi-reboot of ANH. Same reason Jedi feels so inferior to me because they rehashed the Death Star, I have to believe they even realized it themselves as Han goes "another Death Star?" in the new flick.

Sith just had a lot going for it:yeshrug:

Starts off with the illest opening since the original, that drum was insane. Leading into a dope spacebattle. Anakin/Obi seeing the Jedi in their prime. The politics between the Jedi/Palpatine, Anakin being put in the middle. Then it all goes to hell with Order 66. That sequence alone is unparalleled in the saga.

There's so much shyt that went well in that film.

TFA was dope but it's the least creative film in the saga. It gets by on ill visuals, good acting and a dope script. Storywise even Phantom did more for the "Star Wars universe" than this film did.

To me that's not forgivable, it might not reach the lows of Episode I (too much to list), II (akward script) but it's far less creative and plays it very safe. It's the laziest story of the bunch.

My ranking :

Empire
Sith
A New Hope


Jedi
Clones/TFA






Phantom

If Clones had like one more big rewrite I would've put it above Jedi. If TFA had more balls it could've fukked with my
big three.

I put a lot more stock into actually caring about characters though which is why I'm going to go with 3 still being in the bottom tier. I didn't care about any of the characters in the prequels. Whether that's because of acting, or dialogue, or just the production overall, everything just felt wooden to me and i kept searching for the "so why do I care"

Give it a month of two when the nostalgia and new release effect wears off, then they'll realise and the movie will drop down in rankings. People calling it "the best Star Wars film" when it doesn't have one standout memorable or fresh scene or sequence :rudy: and further does nothing more than to negate what the heroes of the originals achieved (inconsequential in the end). Movie was a safe and lazy entry that only had good production.

For me the movie did the opposite of what it was meant to do, I'm actually very interested in what George Lucas's story ideas for his sequel trilogy would have been. This one is going to do nothing but imitate the first 3 with slight alterations, otherwise "it's not Star Wars" :skip:

:snooze:

So many stories they can tell in a universe and world where anything's possible but the fanbase just wants it locked and boxed in to one type of story.

I hear you all but I just don't see this Episode 3 is the best in the series or 3rd best or 2nd best, etc. Just don't see it. And that's got nothing to do with nostalgia or anything else. Like I said, it has a lot of good going for it but it feels too artificial at moments for me to even put it above 4-6.

All of them are worth watching. But Epiosde 3 is arguably the "Star Wars" movie period.
i just saw Phantom Menace last night and that was not worth watching. I'm not a Star Wars guy so i wasnt offended like a stan would be, but i was offended watching that shyt after seeing the first 3 Star Wars(i didnt like the 3rd original either, outside of the end)

that nikka jar jar needs to be whiped from existence.

just read the summaries of the first 2 and just watch the 3rd one in full

whole series is just going through the motions until vader is revealed anyway

all these simps saying the prequels are good probably noobs that grew up on them and barely know anything or haven't really watched the original series like that
