05.05.14 | order is right though i would rate 4 more like a 3/5 |
AliW1993
05.05.14 | The more I think about it, the more I think Episode III is my least favourite. The plot is brilliant, but the film as a whole is completely over the top, and the acting is abysmal (the first Anakin/Padme apartment scene...). |
Judio!
05.05.14 | Really? I'd actually say the acting is the finest of all the prequels in episode III. The only one who is really obscenely over the top in that movie is the Emperor. Ep III is the only prequel that actually made me care about the characters, and the story wasn't great but the second half of the movie was brilliant. |
laughingman22
05.05.14 | 1 is 1
also I like episode III quite a lot |
BMDrummer
05.05.14 | 1 is 1 for sure. I remember seeing III in theaters as a kid and being blown away, was amazing. |
ArsMoriendi
05.05.14 | Episode VI is my favorite. Yoda's death was well done and even heart wrenching. I love the ewoks, and who can deny that the way Palpatine dies isn't perfect?
VI>V>IV>>>>>>>>>>>>III>>>>>II>I
Also, don't be so cynical, VII could be good. |
ArsMoriendi
05.05.14 | "Ewan Mcgregor's performance here is especially impressive."

Judio!
05.05.14 | The Ewoks suck but they aren't detrimental to the movie. All they do is bring about a lot of skip-worthy scenes.
Also, I forgot the Star Wars Holiday Special on this list. Easily the best Star Wars movie every other one pales in comparison. |
TumsFestival
05.05.14 | a lot of people cite Darth Maul as something that makes I better than II, but honestly, why? Because he looks cool? There's zero development of his character and he seems void of personality or motive other than "must kill jedi". |
Judio!
05.05.14 | Darth Maul looks hilariously stupid. Clowns are more legitimately scary than that red-faced fool. |
YakNips
05.05.14 | accurate |
ArsMoriendi
05.05.14 | @FourthReich: R2-D2 and C-3PO are only there for comic relief too, don't fool yourself. Plus, nothing's wrong with comic
relief. UNLESS IT'S JAR JAR BINKS. |
TumsFestival
05.05.14 | only reason I is better than II is because I doesn't have the Ani "sand" quote. If II didn't have that quote, they'd both rest equally at 1.5/10 |
TumsFestival
05.05.14 | prequels did spawn some fun maps on Battlefront II tho |

05.05.14 | Actually I think Lucas himself said that the 7-8-9 trilogy was the best one. So I have hope for 7 |
TumsFestival
05.05.14 | yeah but lucas also thought it was a good idea to alter IV with that whole "Han Shot First" shit |

neurisis17
05.05.14 | I would switch 1 and 2, purely for the fact that no other Star Wars movie could've been made after Episode IV and it would've retained the impact it had (it's a complete story that doesn't require pre- or epilogue).
And Hayden Christensen's acting is terrible in II and III, sad to say, since the entire goddamn saga revolves around Anikin. Also heavily agree with your statement on III being underrated (despite inconsistent acting quality). |
neurisis17
05.05.14 | Even though Darth Maul may be uninteresting (even though I still think he had potential to be a complete bad ass), the fight with him, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon is a great lightsaber duel. |
Judio!
05.05.14 | "Fuck what anyone says. The whole star wars universe is awesome. Some films are highly flawed, sure, Star Wars is still awesome."
Agreed forever. I and II are bad movies, but still love the universe those movies created. That's the reason why I love Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2 so damn much. |
RogueNine
05.05.14 | Ewoks are just part of the Star Wars universe and I'm glad they were in VI, which is probably my
favorite. |

NakedSnake
05.05.14 | It's his original vision!
Yeah, but it really is. A lot of the changes are like, "Why would you even do that?" but I really don't get why everyone is all up in arms about it. |
TumsFestival
05.05.14 | well personally i was talking up Return of the Jedi to my girlfriend as one of my favorite movies ever, but I didn't have it on DVD. She bought it for me on DVD for my birthday I think, and she hadn't seen it, so we watched it. I hadn't realized it was the special edition, then when the re-CGI'd jabba's palace scene came up i was genuinely embarrassed |

mandan
12.09.15 | I expect VII to be good, since Lucas won't have as much creative control with it as he had with the prequels.
I recently rewatched Ep. I, and it's a 7/10 for me (or 3.5/5). I think it has its entertaining moments, and Jar Jar doesn't bother me as much as he does for some people, but it does have weaknesses.
Also, Ian McDiarmid's performance in it is fantastic, easily the best acting in the movie imo.
But yeah, the plot is weak, Neeson and Portman are one-note (despite the fact that both are talented actors), and the silly concepts of angels being creatures in the SW universe and midi-clorians bring the film down a bit.
Plus, the space battle near the end is too short imo. |

12.09.15 | i like V and VI better than IV tbh but all 3 are perf. dunno which is my fav of V and VI. im actually in love with the ewoks so that doesnt hurt the film for me, i think i might have to go with VI being my fav. then for the prequels i agree III then II then I unfortunately because i love darth maul but that film was a piece of shit. but saying VII is gonna be shit is stupid as fuck. |
hal1ax
12.09.15 | V for me hard. The Yoda training scenes are my favvvvv. But like... first 30min of VI where luke is going maximum ham is fucking amazing |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | V and VI are both pretty much perfect |
rufinthefury
12.09.15 | VI is so fucking overrated. It's so fucking lazy in so many ways. It's on par with Episode III which is a solid 3/5. |

I feel like most fictional baby bears rule though... Little Bear, the Pokemon tediursa and cubchoo, Winnie the Pooh, the bear from Goldilocks who's porridge was "just right" etc.
So yeah ewoks rule. |
Judio!
12.09.15 | Can't bring myself to hate the Ewoks but they've always been the least interesting thing about the sixth movie for me |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | ewoks were the best part the little baby ones WERE SO CUTE |
ArsMoriendi
12.09.15 | I wonder if they'll make a reprise in episode VII... probably not since the majority hates them.
My favorite part was how they killed off Yoda, it gave the movie a perfect sad moment as it killed off one of the best characters ever... I remember being Yoda for Halloween back when I was 10 :) |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | see i love the ewoks and hate yoda so i guess im edgy or something idnno |
ArsMoriendi
12.09.15 | Wait, I'm curious: why do you hate Yoda?
I don't really hate any original trilogy character honestly. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | ok i dont hate him i just think he's ugly and obnoxious and kind of an idiot |
Ashen
12.09.15 | episode 4 is my personal favorite. and this little clip is, for reasons beyond my ability to accurately explain, one of my favorite moments in film ever. no 37 seconds have ever been more perfect

Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | can we all agree that mark hamill is the greatest person of all time ever |
Ashen
12.09.15 | he is outrageously dope. i fucking love john travolta in pulp fiction tho, but lets not get into that |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | yeah but john travolta in pulp fiction was never mark hamil in batman the animated series |
Ashen
12.09.15 | john travolta in the tattooine sunset scene instead of mark hamil... it just wouldn't be the same. my stokedness for the new movie has been rekindled. things don't really wind down after finals are over, they just come to an abrupt end, and i'm still coming back down to earth from that shit. sort of forgot that episode vii exists now |
mandan
12.09.15 | I'm trying to get through Ep. II and find it very boring, I'd def prefer to sit through I any day. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | the only cool parts in ii are the fight with jango fet and the arena scene |
hal1ax
12.09.15 | ya i like I more than II cuz darth maul and qui-gon.
and i can't stand hayden christensen |
mandan
12.09.15 | I mean, it's not like I love Ep. I, but I think it's better paced than II.
II just drags and drags. |
Ashen
12.09.15 | II has so many cringey moments that it's easier for me to block its existence from my memory than it is for me to sit through the whole thing |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | yeah but they cockblocked maul so hard in I his death was the most bullshit thing ive ever seen in my life |
Ashen
12.09.15 | darth maul was the coolest character in the prequels. the fan fiction or whatev says he totally survived being cut in half and plunging down into a reactor core but he shouldn't have been axed in the first place |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | nah him surviving being cut in half is actually cannon, he legit survived, its even part of the remaining cannon after disney decided to abolish the all the books and all that from the storyline. he is in the clone wars cartoon with metal legs and disney is keeping the clone wars as part of the new cannon with the original trilogy and the prequels but erasing everything else. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | he has a brother names Savage Opress too who also becomes a sith |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | Savage; http://img.lum.dolimg.com/v1/images/databank_savageopress_01_169_02e79834.jpeg?region=0%2C0%2C1560%2C878&width=768

Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | but i agree Maul was the best part of the prequels aside from grevious whom i also love dearly and jango fett as well, all 3 of whom got terrible terrible bullshit half assed deaths and horrible character development but all of whom are actually badass as fuck outside of the prequels |
rufinthefury
12.09.15 | so LordePots confirmed bases his love off of character purely on how they look. you sick shallow fuck. |
guitarded_chuck
12.09.15 | star wars was always like p good for me but i never loved it, but im gonna watch the original trilogy this weekend again
regardless ill go see the new one in theaters cause i like jjs trek movies they are at least entertaining, am i expecting this to be much better than those no not really other than the nostalgia that comes with the fact it is a star wars movie
id love to be wrong tho |
Sinternet
12.09.15 | I disliked grievous but maul and jango ruled as characters, shame they decided to half-ass their character developments |
rufinthefury
12.09.15 | they half assed all of the prequels. |
JWT155
12.09.15 | They didn't half ass them, they just went full speed into garbage. |
guitarded_chuck
12.09.15 | ye darth maul was actually bad ass as fck |

12.09.15 | Darth Maul was cool, agreed. |
rufinthefury
12.09.15 | let me just watch my Red Letter Media in peace |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | @rufinthefury but I'm basing it off of their back stories and how badass they are in the like 3000 comics, books, and TV shows they are in outside ofthe films so that's wrong |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | Also agreed the Abrams star trek movies are fun, I never liked star trek but I enjoy those films |
evilford
12.09.15 | III is good and VI kills it, VI is like 4.6 and III is maybe 3.2 |
evilford
12.09.15 | I and II are total piles of shit |
evilford
12.09.15 | but agree w/ 1 and 2 |
Tunaboy45
12.09.15 | I think II is actually worse than I, god that 'romantic' dialogue is insufferable
the new one has been overhyped to shit, there's a good chance it could be a disappointment. |
sonictheplumber
12.09.15 | do i need to get advance tix or anything? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | The romance development between padme and anakin I'd the cringiest shot ever in II
He's creepy as fuck and she genuinely just acts totally creeped out by him the whole time |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.09.15 | Then she randomly goes from acting like she's afraid he's going to rape her to being madly in love with him even after finding out he's a mass murderer of men women and children |

zaruyache
12.09.15 | How it Should've Ended concur with that sentiment, pots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cxjlN9e9-c |
Tunaboy45
12.09.15 | I constantly watch the Mr Plinkett reviews as a reminder of how bad they really are. The only one I could probably watch again is III, even with all of its flaws and that ridiculously self indulgent final fight. |
zaruyache
12.09.15 | I don't mind Phantom Menace. It's the Hayden Christensen/Natalie Portman acting and awful CGI/green screens that ruin the other two for me, but Phantom doesn't really have those. It's not great by any means, but it's just pretty inoffensive all around. |
TalonsOfFire
12.09.15 | Ranking is correct, though I probably enjoyed II more than you. The dialogue (mainly romance scenes) are the only real qualms I have with it in terms of personal enjoyment, obviously it has tons of other problems too.
Plinkett reviews are indeed amazing and every SW fan should see them.
I'm hoping VII will be better than all the prequels, doubt it'll be nearly as good as any of the originals though; most likely will be very well made, consistent action movie with SW stuff in it, like his Trek films. |
Tunaboy45
12.09.15 | The actors didn't have a clue what was going on during filming for all 3 films because they didn't have any sets to work with. |
TalonsOfFire
12.09.15 | Ya one of the best qualities of episode 1 is how practical a lot of the effects were, it's not just constant CGI backdrops and pretty much no sets like II and III were. |
mandan
12.09.15 | I think I have some nostalgia for I, I mean, I used to be a major SW junkie back in the day. Used to collect SW novels.
I may have some nostalgia for II as well, but to me it seems to have aged the worst of those.
I guess it's easier to hate the prequels if you didn't grow up watching them at the cinema like I did. |
mandan
12.09.15 | Don't get me wrong though, I easily prefer the entire original trilogy over I and II. |
Tunaboy45
12.09.15 | Looking back on I and II they're just so boring. |

bananatossing
12.10.15 | The prequels were pretty disappointing (yes even III), and as soon as you watch the Red Letter Media Pinklett reviews you know why.
I don't think they are terrible though. Episode I, despite being considered the worst of the prequels, has the most Star Wars-y visuals of all three. And Ep. III is definitely entertaining though flawed. Nothing can save II though, the phony romance scenes between Padme and Darth Christensen are atrocious. |
rufinthefury
12.10.15 | III is redeemable. I and II are not at all. |
evilford
12.10.15 | Yeah III has nothing on orig 3 movies but it's passable. I is pretty bad. II might be the worst movie ever made |

Sinternet
12.10.15 | nostalgia definitely helps when re-watching them, 7 year old me still thought they were fucking cool even if they have little appeal now |
