Personally, I'd rank them as:
1. A New Hope 2. The Empire Strikes Back 3. Return of the Jedi 4. The Phantom Menace 5. Revenge of the Sith 6. Attack of the Clones
I think the first two of each respective trilogy are the best of each group, as both films are the most original of the groups, and unnecessary drama doesn't hurt them as much. I think the originals are masterpieces, The Phantom Menace is good, Revenge of the Sith is mediocre, and Attack of the Clones is horrible.

Episode 2 is the only one I cannot rewatch at the moment since I don't have any copy of it. I have a VHS of 1 and the fullscreen ( ) DVD trilogy. I enjoy episode 1 a lot, but it felt like a family movie with all the horrible comedic relief, mostly from Jar Jar Binks. The Darth Maul fight was great, and helped me forget about the shitty Binks character, but it only got worse with more Binks. From what I understand, and you may understand more of this thug, Binks' actions are imitations of Buster Keaton skits.

I prefer Jar-Jar Binks, who is supposed to be a fool, to Hayden Christensen, who isn't supposed to be a fool. That is, I'd rather see Jar-Jar Binks have a major role than have a major role played by Christensen. I don't really see any similarities that connect Binks and Keaton. Not really. Thug

It's the DVD. Lucas changed the trilogy first with the 1997 "special" editions. While many changes were great, some were shit. Some of the bad ones being.... 1) Making Greedo shoot at Han first 2) The new Jabba the Hut 3) The Sarclac beak 4) The CGI singers at Jabba's palace 5) Some of the toned down violence http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?c=28&s=8

Originally posted by Krlea: That website is hysterical. I must admit I am one of the "idiots" who liked this film, but I do agree with the majority of what he said. The special effects ticked me off, the fact that Anakin switched so easily ticked me off, and the fact that all the "enlightened" Jedi's hadn't a clue ticked me off. To be honest, after reading that I do feel stupid for saying it's a great film. I still think it's great, but those plot problems in mind on my next viewing may make it less effective. Because, all the satire aside, he is right about those things, including the "kid movie" quote. :p "The movies are for children but [the fans] don't want to admit that." - Lucas Oh really? It just so happens that this "children's movie" has a scene where a guy gets his hands chopped off, a graphic decapitation, the wanton slaughter of children (the highlight of any movie), and the coolest scene in any space action movie starring Ewan McGregor: Anakin getting his legs chopped off as his stumps catch fire while his face melts. By the way, if you haven't seen this movie yet, don't read the previous sentence.
