Let the games begin!

It's A New Hope and why do you love it so much?

 

[Chiggs]

The obvious winners: Episode IV and V.

Ermagherd I said only 1

 

[Brian Fellows]

If I can only have one then I don't really want any of them.

Empire. It sucks to be stuck on this one, because there's not really a resolution to the plot here (ish), but I think it's the most in line with what I love about Star Wars, of all of them.

I adore the philosophical stuff, the idea of there being something more to the universe, and Empire is full of this. The Yoda dialogue is genuinely amazing.

Also, it's just a really, really good film.

 

[kunonabi]

AotC is my favorite and it's the movie I alway watch when I only have time to watch just one.

The smart answer is of course ANH since it works best as a standalone film.

 

[-Arcadia-]

The Last Jedi for sure, if you're suicidal and need to get over the hump.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Probably Empire because it has the best music.

It's amazing that AOTC is your fave, truly astounding

 

[Ballthyrm]

The Disney Star Wars don't exist, i thought we all agreed on this.

And I voted for just one, but was commenting on the likely results of this poll.

Empire should win; that’s my choice.

 

[TaySan]

The 1977 one. Love an epic adventure.

 

[Birdo]

A New Hope is the only self-contained Star Wars film.

It's still the best.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Empire.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Empire.

All Day.

Every Day.

 

[Tesseract]

empire, every scene is laced with atmosphere

i still say shadows of the empire would make a good movie

 

[Alter_Fridge]

I just realised I didn't write Revenge Of The Sith

 

[J-Roderton]

A New Hope. Gets me every time.

 

[Kadayi]

ESB. It's the only decent one.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[Alter_Fridge]

ESB. It's the only decent one.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Empire's is my favorite (and at this point objectively the best), but Revenge Of The Sith is the most rewatchable.

You know what, I may throw in Last Jedi as hefty competition. The last 1/3 of that... *drools*

 

[DragoonKain]

The Rise if Skywalker, because comedies have more rewatchability.

 

[DragoonWalker]

The OG that started it all. Empire more entertaining but monumental historic value makes me appreciate EP IV more. But not any altered Lucas edits.

Project 4K77 | The Star Wars Trilogy

Highly recommend to anyone curious enough. Better than despecialized edition, which was the previous standard.

 

[LoV]

Episode 2. Pissed off Annie!

 

[Teslerum]

Empire Strikes Back is my favorite, but it absolutely is a movie placed in the middle of two others. It is not suited for watching it over and over again without consuming the other two.

So, on that note: A new hope as it is the most self-contained one while still being great.

The prequels and sequels don't even come near my collection to begin with.

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

 

[Seraphym]

Rogue One, loved it and the dirty dozen style story. Best of the new stuff and more enjoyable than the classics for me.

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

It's a difficult choice because I like the first two films a lot almost equally but I would go with A New Hope. It's the beginning of the original trilogy (everything is still new) and we see Luke interact with the droids, Ben, Han and Leia for the first time.

 

[p_xavier]

It's Revenge Of The Sith and not Rise OP.

 

[SpartanN92]

Don't get me wrong...Empire is by far the best Star Wars movie but Revenge of the Sith came out at such a formative time in my life. I could watch just the Anakin/Obi Wan battle portion of that film for the rest of my life and I'd be satisfied. It's so good.

 

[Happosai]

A lot of real sets and props used to make the first three movies. No cheap looking CG like in the prequels and sequels. I pick Star Wars (later retitled Episode 4 and A New Hope). I still have the 1983 CBS/FOX release and yes Han did...

 

[Airola]

As neither of them are part of the poll my answer is Return of the Jedi.

 

[MetalAlien]

Hey everyone look an Empire thread!

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I like the original Star Wars where Han shot first, Darth Vader killed Luke's father and it was not named episode 4 ...

 

[teezzy]

The Last Jedi

It's the best one.

 

[John Day]

I had to think hard but i chose Return of the Jedi. It was just fun.

 

[Kenpachii]

first one

 

[GodofWhimsy]

The original Star Wars is probably the tidiest package. it starts at the beginning of a story and has a satisfying enough conclusion that it can be viewed fine as a solo (heh) movie if you ask me.

 

[triplestation]

i needs my darth maul baby

i needs my duel of the fates

 

[Nester99]

Anyone remember when a new hope started to be called “a new hope” over just “Star Wars”?

Was it around 1999?

 

[DKehoe]

First instinct was Empire but I feel like A New Hope is the best stand alone one

 

[Mossybrew]

Howbout none, I would be more than happy to go the rest of my life without seeing one of these films again.

 

[Catphish]

This is just another way of asking which Star Wars movie is best and, well, ESB is the objective factual answer.

 

[HF2014]

Only one is very hard. Buy my heart goes with Return of the Jedi. The Han Solo escape, Speeder Bike Chase, The Ewoks, Death Star scene, Luke vs Vader, The Emperor. This movie got it all. It capture my imagination when i was younger.

 

[Karma Jawa]

RotJ for me.

Not the best film (that would be Empire), but I just love the Jabba and Palpatine scenes too much.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

I like the original Star Wars where Han shot first, Darth Vader killed Luke's father and it was not named episode 4 ...

Or A New Hope

But I put it in there for posterity

Spoiler

what's posterity

Empire Strikes Back has such a cool gritty look to it. Its the type of movie you can watch at night when its snowing outside with a cup of hot chocolate. The production is such a noticeable step up from New Hope.

Watch the grindhouse edition with original audio and japanese subs. Maximum comfy.
