My preffered is Episode IV, possibly just for knowing it was the first.

Seriously, if 4 doesn't beat 3, a crime against cinema will have taken place.

It's crime time then! Wink Just voted for nr. 3, and I'm pleased to see that others really like it too. I only sam it a few months ago, and didn't expect it to be so good.

I didn't like nr. 1 and nr. 2 was remarkably better, but still not reaching the heights of the classic trilogy of nr. 4, 5 and 6. Personally I liked nr. 6 a lot,  great fun, even though I didn't like some of the Muppet (or Gremlin?) - like characters in it.
 
But nr. 3 is very, very good!
 
The score:
 
I - Star
II - StarStar
III - StarStarStarStarStar
IV - StarStarStar
V - StarStarStarStar
VI - StarStarStarStarStar

Return of the Jedi was alwasy my favorite, and strangely enough I always disliked Empire strikes back the most out of the classic three.

I used to like IV an V... until you find out in VI that Luke and Leia are brother and sister, then they feel creepy.

If you can block out the incestuous overtones, I'd pick IV but before Lucas decided to redo them.

there certainly are unanswered questions, like if Leia has Jedi blood why don't we see much evidence of her powers   ..anyway, the extended universe looks quite interesting and I may just read some of the books on the Jedi Purge and whatnot

Can you imagine what would have happened with those overtones had David Lynch agreed to direct Return of the Jedi?  (he had been asked by Lucas originally, but turned him down)

oh yeah that. Yep, there are something that aren't clear enough, in some way giving a unique touch, but still.

I can't remember now since it's been long I haven't watched any, though I have all in DVD

Why do you consider 3 so inferior to 1 and 2?  Not that you're "wrong," it's just hard for me to comprehend.

Anyway, I'd probably go 5 > 4 > 6 > 3 > 2 > 1.  I enjoy the prequel trilogy quite a bit even though it could never come close to the originals.  Still, I have to admit seeing 1-3  in theaters at the time was cool, especially since I was 10 or so when Episode 1 came out so obviously I was pumped then. Wink

Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy books are fantastic by the way.  I haven't read any other Star Wars novels besides these three (not including the short kids story ones when I was young), but I still recommend them to any fan of the movies.  I'm not too hardcore into SW like some, but still pretty geeky to buy the books and make references in real life all the time.  Anyway, the books are really fast paced, introduce a lot of new interesting characters and locations, great plot with a lot of twists, and I think if they were made into movies might even surpass the original trilogy. Shocked

I'm probably being too harsh on I. Really, the acting on III was nauseating, rather than just stoic, and I found it painful to watch. Plotwise, I actually didn't really mind what was going on, and I thought there were a few too many gimmicks in there. Not to say that Star Wars hasn't been about gimmicks, but I never really found it as blunt as on III.

Awesome. We have  a poll with the right sort of answer :p

I'll leave it buried so posterity may benefit from the lack of episode III votes overall.

Oddly enough I never watched a star wars movie in my life. I'd rather take Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
