I love the first three equally because I've only ever watched all three together in a row. When I was a kid my friend Rachel would come over to my house every weekend and we'd both cram into an armchair together and watch all three films in a row EVERY WEEKEND. So Star Wars was a huge part of my childhood. Beyond that I get a bit "Tim Bisley" about it all.

I always watch the original trilogy back to back so those three would be my favourites. Although, Empire Strikes Back has Yoda whacking R2-D2 with a walking stick, that always makes me laugh.

Can't stand the newer ones though.
What can I say? I did it all for the Wookies.

Dissimulation -

 
With the whole Ewok factor, the return of the Jedi just edges it for me. I can't stand the new movies. The special effects are nice, but you can't polish a turd. They should have left it as a trilogy.

I used to love watching Battlestar Galactica on BBC2. The theme tune to that was fantastic. I used to repeatedly play it on the piano and then spend the rest of the afternoon scaring my little brother with various Cylon impressions.

Still, return of the Jedi. But it was a hard choice.

The Angry Monkey Show - Stop it, Catherine

Stop it, Catherine

 
Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father. Han gets frozen, taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is: a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of muppets.

Empire strikes back is genius although a like the death star battle in a new hope. And revenge of the sith is pretty good , attack of the clones wasn't bad but the phantom menance was pure crap there was no need for that film

As Tim from Spaced says 'Jar Jar Binks makes the ewoks look like Shaft'.

Or summat like that.

I'd have the ewoks on my side any day of the week. I'd poke them in the ribs with a big stick.

I forget what my point was...

I saw the trailer tonight, it did indeed look pretty impressive.
I hope some day, for some reason, David Duchovny is investigated by the FBI. Because that would make a great story.

The clone wars in the films never made sense to me because i read the books set after the original trilogy, it says that the clones themselves were destroyed by the jedi and a few fighter pilots, and that all of the stormtroopers are in fact ordinary humans taken from the empires conquered worlds. The books never mention the trade federation or their allies. And the books say that the jedi were hunted down by force sensitve jedi hunters and anakin but no mention of clone troopers etc..

True. As i said, it wasnt all the stuff that wasn't classed as official and allowed to become bpart of the fluff, just most of it.

THe current RPG's have been eaten up by them though, KOTOR 1 and 2, to name just two of them. Im pretty sure both the FPS' got an honourable mention at least too.



KOTOR's a whole separate section of history though, I think the Jedi Civil War's only mentioned once or twice in passing in the films. 4000 years before the current stuff, if my memory serves me correctly?

KOTOR would make kick a*s movies, in some ways the games storyline is better than the movies especially episode 1 which is b*ll*cks
