What the title says. Do you have a favorite in the Star Wars universe? Be it one of the movies, or EU literature? If you're familiar with the latter, please feel free to bring it up. Forgive me if this has been done, but all of a sudden the concept is on my mind.

Movies: I'm actually very conflicted on this. As much as I love The Empire Strikes Back for its character development and shining moments, I think at least right now that pleasure belongs to the original Star Wars. No matter which way I watch it, the movie just clicks. The movie has great flow, and characters that - while you couldn't relate to them - you could care for. It could stand on its own, which is something I dont' believe ESB could manage. It's such a joy to watch all the way through. The movie's a triumph, what with all the problems the development went through. The true story of an underdog - both in the movie and outside. I watch this movie at least once a year.

EU: Jedi Apprentice kids book series, mostly by Jude Watson. Though I prefer Dave Wolverton's style (he wrote the first book), she does good too. There's a certain something about this series that I like - it just shows that even though the prequels all that good, a lot of good can come from establishing a vague picture of the time period. Following Obi-Wan's days as an Apprentice, it shows just a bit more of both Obi-Wan's hot-headedness and Qui-Gon's stubborn manner. Who didn't like Qui-Gon?
