"Which one, if you can only pick one, is your favourite?  "
The original first one, know idea if it's the best but for the memories I have of sitting in the flicks as a kid as the ship went overhead and the story scrolls wins hands down

Has to be Empire Strikes Back.
I do have a soft spot for Revenge of the Sith though.
To be perfectly honest most of the expanded universe stuff is better than the movies (all 9 of the movies, 11 if you include Rogue one and Solo). |

The teens are re-watching them all ready for the last one.
Us oldies bore on about the scrolling opening story and how impressive it was. Thankfully, we've trained them well and they love it too.

To be fair it's been A New Hope since 1981,1 year after Empire was released. |

The script said I love you too, but Harrison said Hans wouldn't say that, so Irvin Kershner told him to say the first thing that came in to his head and "I know" came a classic line in history. |

It was just so different especially compared with what limited TV we had.
Jaws, Star Wars, bond movies happy days indeed.
Went to the one bond movie with my son the one with all the tech but no gadgets  my son thought it was great because it's what his generation do.
The audience (my age) all cheered when his new car was damaged and he got in the old aston Martin |

The Blu Ray has dealt with that. It looks fine now, and they realise that they made a mess of the cinema colour grading. |

Used to be 1. Return of the Jedi 2. A new hope but now number 2 is a tie with rogue one. Just wish they hadn’t shown us Vader until that final scene in the end. I had a full on nerdgasm when we finally saw him in action cutting through rebel scum like they were nothing  |

Was awesome wasn’t it. Imagine how good it would have been if they hadn’t put in that bit with Vader half way through. Would have been a total surprise when you heard his breathing in the dark. |

The other thing that peeved me, the ending of the return of the Jedi and changing the image of Anakin at the end ! |

For anyone that's a fan of the original theater produced trilogy (and not the butchered lucas film editions) there are versions known as the despecialized edition that have been painstakingly redone by fans to take away all the digital effects and recreate the original scenes. If you're interested in further details or how to get them you can PM me. |

Each has their own great moments. Phantom menaces’ lightsaber duel, the Death Star run from a new hope.
No one saying the Christmas holiday special?
But no empire is the obvious winner. |

A new hope
Empire
Attack of the clones
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the jedi
Awakens
You can ignore the last jedi, it doesn't really exist.
The position of Rogue one is difficult. It's an enigma! It ruins a new hope if watched first. But leads in to it so well.
Phantom menace is fairly pointless when you think about it. |

It is! It is amazing especially for a TV show. 2nd episode dragged a little but overall amazing. |

I was in the theatre when the preview for phantom menace came on. People were cheering and standing up.
It may not be the best one but it is the last star wars movie that my dad got to see in the theatre with all of us, as we all went to see them as a family when we were little. Looking over and watching him lean back in his seat through the pod racing scene is one of my favorite memories. He did see that last couple but not in the theatre. He was a trekkie and a star wars fan.
So its sentimental; but Phantom Menace. |

Yea it's really good. Really well made. CGI used sparingly to give it the feel of the original trilogy. |

People look down on the prequels like they are trash. They did overuse cgi, and GL can't write dialogue or direct people for shit and had far too much creative control compared to the originals, but in their own right they are good movies. |

4 episodes in. Episode 3 & 4 you could easily say could be in movies
My only complaint if i have one is that episodes are 10/15 mins to short, and I have to wait a week for them
I don’t actually mind the length because they are very focused. The best way I have heard them described and I agree is a 30 mins live action cartoon
Out of the 4 episodes, ep2 probably has been the weekest but that’s still pretty good.

Tough choice as I love the whole collective
But if I had to pick just one, then it would be the first.
I was 7 when it was relised, we went to watch it during the Christmas hols.
My dad said it was the first time, I'd never talked or fidgeted, he'd never seen me so still or quiet, at one point had to check I wasn't asleep!
I was truly memorised, still am.
Got my first girl crush watching it too  |

Beginning is great.
Luke, The Emperor and Vader in the Death Star is Great.
The best Space battle of all the Star Wars films but, urrgghhh, the fecking Ewoks...
P.S they got rid of Fett way too cheaply. |

"I'm actually hoping 'The Rise of Skywalker' will be a disaster...  "
From what I have heard, it's not going to do well at all. It has had extensive reshoots, rewrites, and audiences walking out during test screenings.
To be fair it can't be anything but bad, due to the mess TLJ made of the plot points laid out in TFA (and all previous movies).
Also the one promo clip they have shown is eye roll material. |

If it follows the vein of the last two it will be predictable and not much different to return of the Jedi
Just think there is another trilogy in its way, where will it end |

I've heard all the reports, leaks etc.
I'm only looking forward to seeing the film because of how bad it seems to be. Sad that Disney/Lucasfilm have totally fucked the sequel trilogy, but might as well laugh at it. |

Indeed!
Though did you see that Jon Favreau is potentially taking over from Kathleen Kennedy as head of lucasfilm, or at he very least requested to replace her. So that should be good if it happens. |

I agree with that. I dislike the Disney star wars movies but Rogue one is the exception.
You can skip Solo. It is cringe, even for a star wars movie, with se of the choices they made in regards to everything. |
