Your favorite Star Wars movie

This may be one of the most difficult choices I've ever had to make, Especially since I'm 28 and I grew up in the time of the original 3 movies. I saw them in the theatre.

In my opinion, the Star Wars novelty feel has changed with the new ones(prequels). I can't put my finger exactly on why. I mean, we all know Jar-Jar totally ruined The Phantom Menace so I don't know why I even included it in the poll. Attack of the Clones was visually STUNNING and was way way better then Phantom, but sometimes the computer graphics start too look a little too cartoony, like when they were in that huge arena and fighting those 3 creatures. Also, I'm having trouble grasping the Characters as easily as I could for the originals. Like I said, it could just be my age and the movies I grew up with but the Rebel Base battle on Hoth with the Imperial Walkers has yet to be bested.

The originals were great because they were unique at the time being space movies, they had aliens looking like aliens (unlike Classic Trek's Klingons, etc) and they emulated things from car chases, sword fights, western movies, Japanese movies, gun fights and Laurel & Hardy movies, but in a sci-fi tone.
The newer ones are handicapped because too much emphasis is placed on the technical gadgetry and not enough on pure emotion. That and everyone knows how things turn out, so you haver to set up 3 movies with everyonee knowing the final results.
And Greedo should not shoot first! Damnit, it's just wrong, wrong, wrong.

Empire Strikes Back. Though to be honest, I haven't actually seen Episodes 1 & 2.

Heh, and I like the Ewoks (or however the heck you spell it).

I love the Hoth battle scene from Empire Strikes Back. Those ATATs are awesome.

Episode 5, it's the best.

Especially when Luke gets his hand cut off. And the Hoth scene.

Episode 1 had worse stuff than Jar Jar. Like they completely ruined the mystery of the Force. It's judged by a blood test? What the hell was that?
