Thanks for pulling that out of that dying 30th Anniversary thread for me, xhonzi.

The thing is she wants me to narrow it down to ONE thing that makes it the favorite. Every scene was like "Is this why, the snow battle? Ah Yoda, is that why?"

I just gave her the Clerks explanation:

"Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets."
