The Correct Order of the Star Wars Movies
I bought Star Wars Episode III yesterday and watched it again on my big screen. It is still very good. I noticed that Lucas did not release the digital version but the analog version instead, so I guess we can expect the Digital version out in a special edition in the future - probably when HDTV DVDs become popular. You can tell it is not the digital version by looking at the spaceships in the background. In the digital version it was all clear and you could see for miles. In the analog version it was all blurry. I did spot the millennium falcon in the background though. My order of movies has changed. So here is the order of the movies from best to worst. I know I will hear it from the peanut gallery on this one:
1. Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi -- It was the real final episode, it had it all, lightsabers, space battles, ewoks, jabba the hut, bubba fett and darth killing the emperor - which means so much more now that I've seen the whole sixology.
2. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith -- It contained the best plot, showing Anakin finally make the switch to Darth Vader. It was really good and had the best lightsaber battles I have ever seen. The effects blew all of the other movies away.
3. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back -- It is cool in that it shows yoda training luke, han getting frozen, and it ends on a downer which was different. Also the I am your father bit was very memorable.
4. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope -- The original had the intros of all the characters. It was amazing for its completeness as a movie. Episode IV is the only one out of all of the movies that stands alone without any other explanations.
5. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones -- This was cool in its plot. It showed how Anakin can become darth vader. It positioned everything for the next movie. It also had a cool lightsaber duel at the end. What made this one drop so low is that Episode III totally blew this one out of the water.
6. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace -- Now that I look at the title I am wondering what the phantom menace was - was it the emperor or the other darth? I thought it was the best at the time, but after watching it over and over again I can say that this was a kiddie movie and all of the others had cool battles. The only thing really cool about this was anakin flying the podracers and the lightsaber fight at the end where Qui Gonn dies. It was also way over-hyped.
And that's my order 6,3,5,4,2,1. I really think Episode III tied everything up perfectly. The only downer about Episode III was the dialog and acting. But if you look at all of the other movies, they all had bad dialog and acting(sans Harrison Ford).

I also got the DVD yesterday. I haven't actually watched the movie yet. I'm trying to get through the special features, first. So far, it's pretty interesting.
Of coarse, I have to disagree with you on the order of best to worst. Here's my order.
Ep V -it rocks. AT-AT's, Cloud City, Vader's big surprise, Han gets frozen, first good lightsaber fight, Boba Fett was originally introduced here.
Ep III -everything comes together. I do wish we were able to see Vader in the suit for more of the movie. This is what everyone ws waiting 22 years to see. Something else that bothered me was, they still didn't explain how C3PO got one silver leg in the original trilogy.
See the deleted scenes to see Yoda land on Dagobah. I can't believe they cut this from the movie.
Ep VI -The final climax. It would've been fantastic, but I'm still scratching my head over the Ewoks. One thing that will live on forever in this movie....Slave bikini.
Ep IV -The beginning (for most of us). I still can't get over Greedo shooting first. Good one, George.
Ep II -I really did like this movie. Of coarse, it did have some slow parts (romance), which hurt the middle act. I loved the Yoda vs. Dooku battle, but wish it had gone on a little longer.
Ep I -Brian pretty much summed up this one...A KIDDIE MOVIE. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I expected after the 16 year wait since Return of the Jedi. Jar-Jar really hurt this one in my opinion. I'm glad he was in the background for the rest. I enjoyed the lightsaber fight at the end, but the rest was sub par...great for kids, but not up to snuff for the original fans.

Peety has it right! The Bass is wrong! My order is identical and the explainations are perfect - Jolly good job ole mate. Did you get Battle front 2? I havnt caved and bought either of them yet. See you guys tomorrow.
Mr. Turkentine
Mr. Turkentine
I have not purchased Battlefront II yet. I've started doing Christmas shopping, so my "fun" money is limited. I'll probably hold off till I get my Christmas bonus, or until the price drops a little....probably the first one.

I have to disagree with the whole lot of you.....
It goes Epsiode IV, then Episode III, then Episode V, then Episode VI, the Episode II, and we all agree about Episode I.
I will be a no-show tomorrow due to I will either be painting or something on the house. Last night I got off work at 5:30 and then worked on the house til nearly 11pm. That's what I'm going to be doing tonight as well. Tonight I get to play in the cement as well as going to the Depot and picking up some of my flooring.
Mr. T will you be available on Saturday morning or any other time on Saturday (assuming Tina won't be down).....
Peety, did you get my message I left on your phone this past Sat?

Benz, I am going back to WF Friday night so you will be on your own. Tina and I have finally made our separation formal last night so she will not be coming up anytime soon.
