Although it's yet another testament to how unoriginal Lucas is, since it very obviously takes quite a lot from The Lord of the Rings.

Find me a fantasy film that doesn't rip of Lord of the Rings to some extent.  That said, I think George ripped himself off, as nearly every character is a fantasy equivalent of a Star Wars character.

yeh, Willow just took things from one of the early drafts for Star Wars. He did tinker with the idea of having the main characters for SW as dwarfs. You've got all the main characters from SW in there; Willow is Luke, Madmartigan is obviously Han Solo, Sorsha is Leia, Bavmorda is Vader, Raziel is Obi-Wan.

I don't know whether to laugh or be horrified by imagining the Original Trilogy featuring Luke, Leia, Han, Vader and Obi-Wan as Ewoks.

I was including the movie in my consideration.  It's fourth from the bottom of the complete list for me, so it doesn't make the top six.  But in this company, fourth from the bottom is still pretty good.  YMMV, obviously.

Hey look another Star Wars Ranking thread. Really surprising seeing so many people putting PT films above OT ones. Maybe 2010 was a more forgiving time?

Not enough people read the EU.

Oh…but even uttering such a thing can warp the fabric of reality as we know it.

Theatricals:

  1. Empire Strikes Back
    Simply put, a perfect masterpiece. My personal favorite film of all time. It gives me a moviegasm every time I think about it.
  2. A New hope
    Absolute child-defining experience and the Star Wars movie I have watched the most times. Simply fantastic!
  3. Return of the Jedi/Force Awakens
    Tied up here because Jedi wraps up the trilogy with such emotion and catharsis and Force Awakens has such great characters with a fun return to Star Wars. But both have their problems. Jedi has a lack of tension and depth of certain characters and the Force Awakens lack of originality was damaging.
  4. Revenge of the Sith
    Best story of any of the movies besides Empire for me. Best soundtrack besides Empire. Most tear jerking scenes in entire series IMO (order 66& immolation scene). But if it weren’t for that damn dialogue that Lucas felt the need to trash up its theatrical version might have been higher.
  5. The Phantom Menace
    Do I hate Jar Jar or the botched romance more? I hate the botched romance more and henceforth I condone the THEATRICAL release of TPM a piece of shit. Just not as shitty as Attack of the Clones.
  6. Attack of the Clones
    What a piece of shit

FAVORITE FAN EDIT REVISED LIST:

  1. K6650 ESB semi-specialized
    He keeps a few of the SE changes I like and treats this film with the reverence it deserves. Looking forward to ESB:R.
  2. Hal9000 ANH Custom SE OR ANH:R
    Again, retaining few good SE changes. And of course I give holy praise to Adywans ANH Revisted. His attention to detail is astounding and much appreciated!
  3. DOTE(L8wtr)/LOE(Hal9000)
    With a mashup here of these edits, it has made episode 3 into the most emotional Star Wars film with believable characters, improved dialogue, and scene reordering to recreate episode 3 into not only a great Star Wars film IMO but a great film of tradegy. A film about the rise of an empire and the fall of an republic done in stunning fashion.
  4. Return of the Jedi (Q2 Edit)
    Pretty much removed offensive SE elements and keep Sebastian shaw. I’m almost finished with my own edit though.
  5. Force Awakens N/A
    No fan edits yet of course. But still prefer theatrical to fan edited episodes 1&2.
  6. Cloak of Deception (Hal9000)
    Jar jar is relatively okay, You end up rooting for Anakin, improved dialogue etc. what once was a piece of shit is now enjoyable.
  7. Approaching Storm (Hal9000)
    Anakin is not a creeper, romance is believable, tightened up plot etc. what once was a piece of shit is now enjoyable.

Don’t know what the hell I was thinking when I made this thread almost six years ago now. Today it’s

ESB
ANH
ROTS
ROTJ
TFA
AOTC
TPM

I know, I know, Sith over Jedi is bad. But I really hated the 2nd death star, if they didn’t have that then it might honestly be my favorite. The Emperor/Vader/Luke scene is probably my favorite scene in the saga and it’s a perfect conclusion (for the first six films at least). I go back and forth.

EDIT: Added in The Force Awakens. I really thought it was a fantastically made film, and from a film making perspective, it’s top 3 IMO. But I ranked ROTJ low because of the 2nd superweapon, a 3rd superweapon for the 2nd movie in a row is just ridiculous. It showed up, blew up a planet we don’t know/care about, and was destroyed. It’s just too repetitive at this point, hopefully the story can actually move forward now without some big pointless superweapon.

I would rank the Star Wars films from my most favorite to my least favorite in the following order:

A New Hope

Empire Strikes Back

Revenge of the Sith

Attack of the Clones

Return of the Jedi

The Phantom Menace.

Return of the Jedi would have been better than Revenge of the Sith and Attack of the Clones if it were not for the Empire illogically building a second Death Star, Jabba the Hutt resisting a Jedi mind trick despite seeming weak-minded, and the cute and cuddly teddy bears obliterating the imperial stormtroopers.

The Phantom Menace was indisputably the worst Star Wars film due to the absence of a clear main character as well as the presence of Jar Jar Binks, Midichlorians, and Neimoidians.

Jabba not resisting a Jedi mind trick would make the escape pretty boring.

WRONG

But AOTC is the worst no matter the presence or non-presence of CPY.
