The Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars movie. Or is it?

Lucas tried to make it his way by recutting it and taking the film away from Kersh according to the book Skywalking, he tried to make it a faster paced and action non stop film like Star Wars and later Jedi.

He does not understand good drama, and he did not get the nuances and that it was a character piece.

 

 fucking Lucas...

Anyone hate Return of the Jedi?
Time

Watched part of dark jedi v3 of rotj today while messing around with my atv2 with xbmc (trying to get dvds to work right, vob files play but trying to play using the ifo doesnt work most of the time, its annoying)

Anyways I watched the scene where look tells her that they are kin (thats related in southern speak) and hes like looking down and then looks up as he says and my sister has it. Ever notice how his eyes kinda bulge right as the shot moves to Leia?

The only good bits in rotj are the scenes with luke, vader, and the emporer. The part where he pats the lightsaber and says "you want this don't you...?" still makes me giddy to this day, its just so evil. Other than those scenes, the rest of the movie is rubbish.

I will say that I think I liked it a lot more when I was younger and wore out the vhs copies I had of the OUT. I had to have been 10-12 since I was 13 when the SEs came out. Now watching it just makes me cringe, and the SE version is unbearable with the stupid addition of the CGI singer and the other totally out of place additions.

Which version/release of the Star Wars movies do you watch and why?
Time

right now, the only ones ive watched in the past few years have been:

ANH:Revisited which is just pure awesomeness. Its the definitive version for me.

TPM: L8wters edit. Very well done. Decent movie now.

ROTS : Stankpac's edit, thought it was decent.

I own all 3 prequels on DVD, have never purchased a star wars OT version after the VHS "faces" version I had which was what I watched when i was a kid (prolly in the 10-12 range maybe?)

I just downloaded DJ's V3 of of the OT thanks to myspleen and plan to watch them on my ATV 2g using XBMC in the next few days since I dont care to burn them right now. Will be the first time ive watched star wars pre SE since i was a kid and wore out my VHS copies :-(

Favorite Star Wars Book?
Time

I just got a kindle and have 300ish star wars books on it. Working on reading stuff I never got around to reading.

I agree somewhat about the NJO, i read the first 10ish or so of them and most of them were pretty good, kinda just quit and later on when I heard about how it ended, i wasnt really thrilled with where they took it.

After i finish Thrawn im gonna work on Han Solo Andventures, always wanted to read them after reading the Han Solo Trilogy. It was pretty cool how that one referenced the adventures, it kinda skips over that time period for Han and mentions some stuff from them.

Anyone ever read the Corellian Trilogy? That was an OK one from what I remember of it. All the stuff from the 90s/early 00s was all pretty decent from the stuff I have read that came out then.

Another one I never read was the Rogue Squad stuff, I think that was like 6 plus books, add that to the list I need to read.

On a side note and slightly off topic, favorite character from the EU books? Id go with Talon Karrde personally.
