of course lucas thinks empire is the worst film because it actually is the best film out of all six.

when reality comes along and knocks him upside his dumbass head i'll be frankly suprised. i'm not holding my breath or crossing my fingers.

despite having some of my favorite moments in the original trilogy jedi was the worst of all three released from 1977-1983.

Even some fine scenes like yodas death scene, luke and vaders confrontation. Luke confronts the emperor etc.

and some great star wars 77 esque swashbuckling scenes like the sandskiff and sailbarge in the dune sea.

To be honest my favorite star wars scenes are those like the old pirate movies, or errol flynn swashbuckling pictures. Everyone basically goes to star wars to see the Lightsaber duels. seems to me the only saving grace of episode one is its awesome duel. the duel in episode II is a joke, episode III comes in a close second in the duels of the prequels.


the prequels lack the humanity of the originals, good triumphing over evil, heroism and noble ideals. Even the music suffers in this department, and i don't blame john williams he only had what material he had to work with.
