.....it's the one I would reach for first for a rewatch. It has everything. The final fight between Anakin and Obi Wan was everything I could have asked for. Anakin completely turning towards the end of the film was masterfully done. I like all the films on some level. (the sequels are the weakest) But this film right here. Nothing in Star Wars since has come close to it greatness.
shareThis one is a very good SW movie, together with The Empire Strikes Back, Rogue one and partially The Return of the Jedi.
sharei like to watch it but i've been skipping the grivious parts for a long while
shareI'm an OT person, and I think my most-rewatched SW movie is A New Hope.
To each their own.
well , given that I watched it daily from when VHS was invented until about '88 , ep4 will never be knocked off the top spot on views .
.. But Rogue Ones pretty good - I've seen it 3 times!
VHS release of Star Wars was in 1982, so factoring in one leap year from '82 to '88, and considering that the release was in May, that's roughly 2,071 times. So, Rogue One isn't really a *close* second...
shareI don’t hate it but for me this is my least favorite of the Lucas produced movies. 1-6.
shareI tend to agree with that assessment. I actually like Phantom Menace quite a lot, believe it or not. The other two were too studio-bound with green screens and so forth. At least Ep1 they went to Tunisia filming it as Tatooine. When you see Padme and Qui-Gon Jinn flushed and sweating in the desert, it very hard to reproduce that on sets. Liam Neeson ruled as the most relatable Jedi ever. Darth Maul really delivered, and is perhaps the most successful villain besides the Palpatine/Emperor. I consider Anakin/Vader more of a protagonist, so obviously not counting him as typical villain, too. Yoda was real puppet, operated by Frank Oz before that was changed too. Pod Race was memorable.
shareI think this is easily the worst of the 9 Star Wars films. It's close, as all three prequels are absolutely terrible, but each was a bit worse than the one before it.
shareThe king of bad takes strikes again.
shareIt’s the best of the prequels.
shareIndeed
shareI’ve always said that if you took the best bits from Episode I and Episode II (losing all the political stuff) and merged them together, you’d end up with a great film.
shareWell I actually like the political stuff. 😂. I like Andor as well probably for the same reason.
shareProbably, but still too much CGI to make it even close to the original trilogy.
shareWell CGI is not going anywhere. We just have to accept that it's not going Back to 1977. For 2005 it was very well done IMO. My brother hates the lightsaber duel at the end and said it looked like a video game. He now loves it .. 😂....still my all time favorite light saber battle....

Exactly. CGI.has been around since the early 90's. Over 30 years now and people are still bitching about it. Is it perfect??? No. But neither was practical effects. But they are way better than they were just 10 years ago. I have been around and grew up with practical effects but have moved on with the times. A shame that some of Gen x refuse to move on ..
share"Political stuff" was what made the episode 2 good. I'd rather lose scenes that served no other purpose than being game and toy commercials. Attack of the Clones was a bit overlong and those elements could have been well cut off.
