6. A New Hope


But in a sense, I like each movie equally. I have the same amount of Pros (give or take a few for certain films) as I do Cons. To bash 1 film in the STAR WARS Universe is pretty low, you either love STAR WARS, or you hate it. None of this inbetween "omg I can only watch Episodes 4 - 6" or "OMG I Can only watch Episodes 1 - 3" but as the above poster said, he likes episodes 3 - 5.

If I had to pick 3 to show somebody first, I would pick Episodes 1 - 3.


I don't agree that you have to love every single thing (or every single movie) in a series to be a fan of the series. In fact, it takes some maturity to be honest with what you like and what you don't like about something rather than simply saying, "I love it just because I love the series." You admit it yourself by ranking them. If you prefer one movie over another then that means that the ones that are not on the top of your list must be missing something that your top choice contains. There is nothing wrong with not loving everything. It is possible to be perfectly happy with everything and much more possible to be perfectly content with your fandom. But, in response to "you either love STAR WARS, or you hate it," think about what Obi-Wan said in your favorite Star Wars movie: "Only the Sith think in absolutes!" ^_^
