I take it a little to heart when im called an (empire) fan boy, but its not a bad thing when i hear im not the only one.

Oh, you're certainly not the only one around here. It has always been my favorite, too. (Star Wars is very, very close behind, though!) I find that I've always liked the same things about it no matter what my age is; the snow planet is great, the humor is excellent, the little touches like the space slug were fresh, the ion cannon was awesome, Vader's "hibernation chamber", the snowspeeders, the AT-ATs, the amazing portrayal of Yoda, etc, etc, etc...

I've also found that a lot of people liked Jedi the most when young (flashiness, Ewoks, etc...), then feel Empire is the strongest overall when older. For me, Empire was always king.
