You will not. None of us will, except for a very old and dying Ziggy Stardust who will watch it through teary eyes as he remembers us all.

+1 for ESB

-1 for AOTC

+1 SW

-1 AOTC

Can't we just subtract like 50 points each for AOTC on the basis of it being the worst thing ever made by a human?

+1 ESB

-1 AOTC

I had to say AOTC, because I actually enjoyed TPM and ROTS, visually.

AOTC was bad CGI covered with gaudy orange. I don't even think I was that disappointed with it. A movie has to have potential to be disappointing.

 

 

To actually be fair, I think we should split the eliminations to Favorite/Least favorite OT, and Favorite/Least Favorite PT.

That way ESB and SW can battle it out, and we can finally decide which of the PT overall was the least shitty movie.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

I know this won't come as a surprise to anyone... but at first I thought the split vote thing would help... but now I can't decide which PT movie to vote for.

Can I still just take a third off of each one?

Ok, time to tally things up.

With respect to Frink's falderal, I'm ruling post 23 disqualified since he voted too many times, and post 28 replaced by post 37 since he wished to update his vote with the new rules. (This works, since his OT votes are identical on all three of those posts.)

 

OT:

Star Wars:107 points +1 (me), +2 (Diego & Ziggy)

The Empire Strikes Back:114 points +9 (Johnny x2, Frink, Alexrd x2, Sluggo, ESF x2, Bloodnose)

Return of the Jedi:93 points -1 (me), -5 (Frink, Alexrd, ESF, Bloodnose, Ziggy)

 

PT:

The Phantom Menace:103.666 points +1 (me), +4 (Frink, Alexrd, ESF, Bloodnose), -1 (Ziggy)

Attack of the Clones:88.667 points -1 (me), -6 (Frink, Sluggo, Diego, ESF x2, Bloodnose)

Revenge of the Sith:96.667 points -2 (Johnny, Alexrd) +1 (Ziggy)
