Mine will be an obvious pick. I started pretty late in 2003 with the VHS of Prequels first, then the 1997 SE and 2004 SE after. But later on after watching Revisited and the OUT, I started to despise any of the SEs for the unnecessary changes.

Anyway, here's mine:

First is sort of a tie between Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars (1977), they're both really great to me in different ways. Both have amazing soundtracks (well the whole original trilogy did), Star Wars was the most fun and uplifting one but Empire had the more engaging story and plot to me (tend to have a thing for darker stories. hehe) and has my favourite lightsaber duel between Luke and Vader.

But if I had to choose, it'd be Empire Strikes Back first and Star Wars second.

And then Return of the Jedi after. As many have said, I didn't really favour the Ewoks as much but it's the Space battle and final confrontation between Luke, Vader and the Emperor that make up for it.

As for the Prequels, it would have to be The Phantom Menace as it felt more like a Star Wars film to me as opposed to the clean and sleek look in the other two, and I still really enjoy the duel with Darth Maul. But of course, Jar Jar and Young Anakin (when he's shouting Yippee, Oops, "accidentally destroying the Trade Federation ship) just can't be tolerated for me.

I can't really decide with AOTC and ROTS as they both have problems and have a fair share of bad acting and overuse of CGI.
