      It was amazing, sorry, thought I posted here about it already. I was thoroughly impressed and I was one of the sharpest critics of the first two. It simply isn't the same kind of movie that 4-6 were. You are never going to have the same feel, it sucks, but its true. But this alone was a good movie and in my opinion was a very good prequel to 4-6.

          ROTJ was the best one...

          Yoda kicks it and furry woodland creatures die by the dozen.

          I looked in my star wars dictionary just a min ago and discovered that Ewok is actually spelled E-Wok, and that the creatures are merely electronic varieties of your common Wok, and can shoot up to 20bps.

                That, my kind sir, is blasphemy. All ROTJ had was a bunch of muppets running around. They were slightly less annoying than Jar-Jar.

                The Empire Strikes Back is (so far) the best SW movie. Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, and Han gets frozen in carbonite. It ends on such a downer--how could you not like it the best? It is full of such drama and suspense!

                My opinion is that Ep. 3 will be the best. I am looking forward to seeing Anakin's fall and Vader's rise. I have enjoyed both prequels so far for almost nothing more than the fact that they are full of Jedi. The Jedi rule. The Jedi kick arse. The Jedi are the best!
                And Qui-Gon was the most knowledgeable Jedi of them all. He had more of a grasp on the Force than even Yoda. This is my opinion, based on what I've observed in the movies.
                (waving hand in front of your face) You will agree with me...

                  Wow, all this hate for the Ewoks! There's so much good to the movie, the Rancor Pit, the father/son conflict, the redemption of Vader (which may be a bigger deal after EPIII), the speeder chase, and probably the most amazing (to now) space battle ever put on film (and remember there were no computer graphics at the time, and it still holds up very well by todays standards).

                  Ranking is hard for me. I think Empire is the best movie, but A New Hope is just special for me, probably due to my age when I first saw it (6). So I think they are equal. After I see EPIII, I'll post how I think they are ranked overall, but I want to see it first.

                    After seeing all six, I'd go... Empire, Hope, Sith, Jedi, Clones, do I have to name the last one? I guess for me ROTJ was more closure than anything, lots of cool stuff which was amazing for the 70s I'm sure, but it was lacking in other departments, which I think Empire/Hope/Sith all have. I'll elaborate after my exams when I can actually write out something.

                      '80s man, '80s!
                      ROTJ premiered in 1983. You are right, it had lots of closure--in fact, too much! I was sad after Jedi because there would be no more SW movies...or so I thought (I was 9, what do you expect?)
