I like the Originals a lot better. I think they're better. I was about 13 when Episode 1 came out. I thought it was okay. But when it came to around Episode 3 I wasn't that amazed by it. I had actually been excited to see Anakin's turn to the dark side but I was dissappointed. It wasn't that great. I didn't think it made sense for him to just go berzerk and kill all the jedis (including a bunch of little kids). I'd give all the prequels a 5/10 and the originals a 10/10.

Originals.

Overall, Episodes I - III sucked.

I was born in 1977 and grew up watching the originals. Over and over. I must have seen each of the movies in the original trilogy at least fifteen times.

While the later prequels do have some merit, they don't measure up to the originals, and Jar Jar Binks makes me want to poke my eyes out.

Where's the Spider-man option?

most people consider Empire to be the best Star Wars movie. interestingly enough, it's the one that Lucas had the least influence on. i don't think that it's a coincidence.

It's not even close, the originals by a mile (or 1.6 kilometers for our European friends).

I voted for the original 3, they were the ones with all the magic, and stuff you never saw in movies before. I do like the prequel movies too. Though I didn't care for either actor that played Anakin. But Eps. 1-3 did have Natalie Portman, as Pademe. Very Happy

I also think that I am the only person that likes Jar Jar Binks. Embarassed

lol

I'm old enough to remember going to see the original in 77/78. From the first shot it blew everything out of the water. Empire came along and amazingly, for a sequel, was even better!

I was never too keen on Jedi for some reason. But if it wore an overcoat and fell asleep it would still beat the dire prequels IMO. Phantom Menace was the best of the three.

I dunno. Maybe its just my age. But the first three films helped change peoples perceptions about what was possible on the big screen and the whole cinematic experience. By the time the prequels came out, the rest of the world had caught up, and they seemed desperatly trying to recapture former glories.

The Empire Strikes Back is one of the best movies made, ever, whatever the genre.

I go back and forth between Empire and A New Hope as my favorites. It depends on the mood I'm in. Good mood = ANH, Bad = Empire. lol
