What is wrong with Return of the Jedi? — Page 14

Return of the Jedi is my favorite of the Star Wars movies. It just appeals to me and has the things I look for in a movie; action, humor, drama. I don't care what's said about the Ewoks, but they are a much better creation than the Gungans IMHO. This is definitely one of my favorite movies out there.

1. ROTJ
2. SW
3. ESB
4. AOTC
5. TPM

I agree. ROTJ is my all-time favorite as well. I love the sense of desparation in it, the climactic showdown between good and evil, etc. The piece of music that plays during that final clash between Luke and Vader (the one where Luke almost slides to the dark side) never fails to haunt me every time I hear it. Also, I argue to anyone who's willing to listen that ROTJ had the best lightsaber duels of the entire saga.

You know, when I was a kid, it was my favorite also. I watched it much more than the rest. I used to day dream about being able to ride on a speeder bike (I still do, in fact...I LOVE that scene).

But now, it's...still my favorite. But I don't like it any more than the other originals. I like each equally for differant reasons. Now, I don't watch any more than any of the others. Every few weeks or so, I watch I watch all three in order. Either in one night, or over the course of a few days (depending on time). I don't think it's the "weaker one". I love it. I think it's awesome. I even kinda like the Ewoks. I mean, that's why I'm here, right? I love the Star Wars movies. None more than any other.

The speeders scene is great, one of my favorite action sequences on the OT.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

The Speeder Bike sequence is one of my fave action sequences of all time in any movie out there. I still get chills from it despite knowing every twist and turn like the lines on the palms of my hands.

However, I have to rate ROTJ down there a bit on my SW list.

1. ESB
2. ANH
3. AOTC/ROTJ tie
4. TPM (way below the rest)

hehe Bossk...
i used to put a GT Snowracer (sorda like a toboggan for those who are confused) propped up on pillows in my living room, turn on that scene and have friends rock the Snowracer back and forth when the speeder would turn....

those were the days...
must agree with Bossk...
great scene
