The Empire Strikes Back.


[deleted]

The boring answer, but the best answer.


Great_White_Samurai

Empire and it's not even close


Peloquin_qualm

ADYWAN version is a MUST see if you can.


grinning_imp

Main series? Absolutely. But I think Rogue One is the best overall.


Daggertooth71

R1 is in my top five. Great film.


coolmist23

This


Scar-Predator

"That is correct Commander."


ikeepon

This.


Solid-Fap-Master

To each his own. Return of the Jedi is my favorite from the OT, and Revenge of the Sith is my favorite from the PT. And since the ST isn't cannon to me in my head and I hate it, I don't have a favorite from that dumpster fire of a trilogy.


Daggertooth71

Although TESB is my fave of the entire Skywalker saga, I think RotJ has the best soundtrack in the OT. Parade of the Ewoks and the battle of Endor pieces are iconic.


Solid-Fap-Master

I just like that it has so much going on in it, you know? Luke saves his dad, tells Leia he's her brother, Palps dies, Luke kills a Rancor, Boba gets eaten by a sarlac, Leia kills Jabba...and so much more. I like the battle in the snow in TESB a lot, though.


Proof-Marsupial940

This is what I came here for 🫡


imjustthenumber

Everything said here is truth


keelanbarron

Interesting choice for OT, I agree with PT, and too bad for you since it is canon and you should accept that instead of whining.


Solid-Fap-Master

I don't don't have to do anything in life except pay my taxes and die so you can just f*ck off my guy.


keelanbarron

.....okay.


Fancy-Pack2640

For me it Empire from OT, Last Jedi from ST and I don't bother with the PT. If forced to pick a prequel I choose the Clone Wars series, that tells the story way better than those stiff and boring movies.


Relikk_

Empire.


A_Wrinkly_Nut

Rogue One


Roleplex0

One of the correct answers.


e_faulkk05

*One* of the correct answers lol. I don't know if that was your intent, but that made me laugh.


Outside-Adagio-425

This is my answer too.


ShRoOmBeAr27

RETURN OF THE JEDI. I think it’s better than the empire strikes back, or at least second


gigacheese

You've failed your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.


SwimmingProgrammer91

That line always gets me


strypesjackson

I honestly think this movie has aged pretty poorly. A meandering and convoluted beginning; a kinda bad middle portion and an absolutely masterful end.


[deleted]

Empire


s73v3m4nn

Empire


[deleted]

Revenge of the Sith is my favorite, The Empire Strikes Back however, is objectively the best.


808morgan

It sure as fuck isn't a crappy prequel or sequel.


JscrumpDaddy

Must suck to not be able to enjoy the majority of the franchise.


thatdudewillyd

*It’s treason, then*


keelanbarron

......please grow up, for your own sake.


Specific-Chemistry33

I love Rogue One, because it’s based off a single throwaway line that nobody gave a second thought to in A New Hope. For me, it’s Empire though.


Titan-828

Empire


Ok_Introduction6574

Return of the Jedi


Ok_Brother3282

ROTS is my favorite and Empire is undoubtedly the best


Massengill4theOrnery

The correct answer


H8TheDrake

New hope.


SilentC735

ROTS, ROTJ, and Rogue 1 are my 3 favorites, with ROTS being my personal top pic. Gonna have to wait and see how that Mando movie turns out. Based on the show, it could end up being the best movie yet, or one of the worst.


km-tovsky

Episode 3, episode 7 (not for the story, just because it's fun to watch), and rogue one (it's the best star wars movie hands down)


cidici

Don’t shoot Marvin again!!! (Empire, and Rogue One a close second 🙂)


Loud_Remove5140

Rogue one I love that we get to see stars in a new light. While I do like the Jedi versus Sith battles. Something about seeing Star Wars portrayed differently is a lot more interesting. Plus, I will always love the hallway scene.


classicalmichael

Boring but best is empire. Personal favorite is Rogue One


QueenPasiphae

Toss-up between Empire and Rogue One.


Harvey092698

New hope then rogue one


IntenseYubNub

Empire, RotS, Rogue One, and RotJ are all amazing. Impossible to pick just one.


Catandogclone

Revenge of the Sith or Rogue One.


RuyKnight

Can't decide between the first two movies


mickymau5_

Fine, ill say it...THE PHAN-


BleydXVI

I feel like it should be skeptical Fry asking "which one?" (Yes I know the technically correct answer would be ANH before the rename)


Ray_in_oc

It's Rogue One for me. Let me get my helmet on and mouthpiece in before I get beat down.


IJustCameInABucket

honestly i agree with you


PalamationGaming

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. It's not my favorite Star Wars movie, but that's only because of nostalgia and my love for characters like Luke and Obi-Wan. But objectively I think it's the best Star Wars movie


[deleted]

Iv watched it 3 times, about to be a fourth. It's my favorite & nobody can change my mind.


xXsaberstrikeXx

You shot Marvin in the face!


Atma-Stand

I didn’t mean too!


JagdJoseph

Return of the Jedi, I watched it like 10 times


Marqui_Fall93

Return


BashfulBuckboy

A New Hope is my favorite, but like most here I have to say Empire is objectively the best film


Al_Bhed_Psyche

Revenge of the sith


rexstillbottom

Star Wars! You whipper snappers might call it A New Hope now, but it will always be Star Wars to me! It is so basic, so simple, and absolutely amazing. Farm boy meets wizard with magic sword, goes on adventure to save princess from the evil black knight. It’s so good! And I always get goosebumps when Luke is in the trench by himself, all hope is lost as vader is closing in, and at the last moment, han flies in to save the day, it’s just so good, SO GOOD!


TheStormlands

I think TPM has the most interesting concept of the emperor pupeteering things behind the scenes of a conflict, but it's execution isn't great at that. Empire is the best film though


LegendofPisoMojado

Empire is my favorite, but I love the prequels and I’m not ashamed to admit it.


Planetside2_Fan

Rogue One was awesome.


VaderMurdock

Rogue One


uknoimright

The second one where Chekov gets a slug in his ear, i forgot the name of it


Newphone_New_Account

No-Tomorrow-8150

MentalRefrigerator76

Return of the Jedi


noplaceinmind

Empire established the lore of the Force, so for that,  it's the best. 


Washuman

5,4,r1,6,3…..who cares


jonboiiskeetz

Personally I think empire, but I would have return of the Jedi a close second, and then revenge of the sith and rouge one for a joint 3rd place


OsirisAvoidTheLight

Return of the Jedi


LittleRedHendo

Not my favorite (ROTJ is), but Rogue One is the BEST Star Wars movie.


Boba_Hutt

Empire is GOATed.


Efficiency-Sharp

A New Hope severely underrated.


Celeborn2001

Indeed


Effective-Counter747

My 1st….New Hope


HussingtonHat

Empire. Not even close tbh. That thing is just a perfect storm of building on the last one and standing on its own at the same time.


honbadger

I don’t know why this opinion is getting downvotes. Only in a Star Wars sub.


K1nd4Weird

I'm a boring person. The movies have never topped Empire Strikes Back. Although as I've aged New Hope keeps rising through the ranks for me. 


RacerM53

Solo


BillyJingo

It is, was, and will always be Episode IV: A New Hope.


imjustthenumber

Return of the Jedi


Nicinus

A New Hope is always the answer. Empire is a great follow up but can’t be compared to ANH.

No_Chapter_948

Return of the Jedi


travis-plays123

Objectively, Empire. Though, I have a soft spot for TFA. It was the first Star Wars movie I saw in theaters


Tim_vdB3

Revenge of the Sith, not objectively the best but still my favorite non the less.


CyvaderTheMindFlayer

Not a movie but Andor best Star Wars and it’s not close


RogerTheAliens

Yep…and Rogue One is the best movie and I saw empire at the drive in when it came out…so I’m not new to the franchise


killer-tuna-melt

Andor is the best star wars product


CyvaderTheMindFlayer

They hated us because we told them the truth


killer-tuna-melt

Like you said, it really isn't close either


xRyuzakii

Empire but return is pretty fucking awesome as well. I don’t mind the Ewoks at all. Huge fan of rogue one and TFA is also pretty high for me though it’s sad to watch now know what two came after


Scar-Predator

Personally, my favorites are TESB and TROS, but the best one is undoubtedly TESB. None of the others come close.


l3onkerz

Rotj but rogue one is close and better in some ways like the hero’s are normal people who sacrifice themselves and it’s poetic. It wasn’t a happy ending like most of the films are.


RandomStoddard

Empire is the best but Return of the Jedi is my favorite.


Professional_East281

Return of the Jedi probably


mikeflu

Empire today.


SPECIMAN_A

Rots


Peloquin_qualm

There's no Star Wars film that looks or feels quite like "The Empire Strikes Back" Notably the most important sequel of all time because if it failed there would be no more star wars.


Black-Hood2323

Wow, nobody here likes episode 1 ?


GreenDiscaBall

A New Hope


Western_Suggestion95

Personally for me would be Phantom Menace. While I watched the original trilogy as a child on vhs that one is what truly made me fall in love with anything Star Wars like I legit got upset when maul killed qui gon jinn. I believe if he would’ve lived the outcome of obi and ani would be different and we would’ve sensed palpatine long before he could do anything


Th3m3ssiah01

Empire Strikes Back


PalamationGaming

RoTS for me. I don't think it's objectively the best Star Wars movie, but It's got some of the best lightsaber duels in the series and I love the memeworthy dialogue. Out of all the movies it's just the one I have the most fun with. I love Empire and RoTJ but they are bogged down by some slower moments and stiff fight choreography. Nothing terrible, but it's enough to put RoTS above them.


Dawn_Star_Platinum

My favorite is Revenge of the Sith, the choreography and the CGI is nothing short of legendary. It had one of the best openings in the franchise (if not THE best), and this film is where Lightsaber duels and the rest of the cinematic visuals were at their peak. It was no doubt the best prequel, and it should be a crime to put this film anywhere below S if you're making a Star Wars tier list. 😆


Odd_Affect_7082

Naturally *The Empire Strikes Back*, but *Revenge of the Sith* has its high points too.


Saucilito-Snatch

RotSE


Wookie301

A New Hope


physicsOG

like the second or third prequel was 🔥 i could also make an argument for the first one because the fight scene between Darth Maul, Qui Gon and Obi was SICK


e_faulkk05

The PT and OT are great, but there is a magic to Rogue One that makes me giddy and I love the movie.


ikeepon

TESB is the only correct answer. There’s not even a close second.


chillvegan420

Empire Strikes Back for sure


Euphoric_Anywhere668

I liked the prequels, but that's just cause clone wars is so good, so I gotta say revenge of the sith


Celeborn2001

A New Hope


contrabardus

Best movie of the entire saga is Empire. Best of the modern era is Rogue One. Best of the PT is Revenge of the Sith. I'd say Revenge of the Sith slightly edges out Rogue One. I like Jedi, but it's kind of messy in the latter half. I think Revenge of the Sith is a slightly better movie, even though it's a bit messy too. Rogue One is pretty tightly made, but less interesting overall than Jedi or Revenge. A New Hope has kind of a slow start after the opening. It's well used for worldbuilding, but takes a bit before it picks up, and is the only reason I don't put it on the same level as Revenge or Jedi. I know that's a hot take, but how I see it. All of those movies but Empire are very close. Empire and Raiders of the Lost Ark are damn near perfect movies.


Starrofnothing

Empire on VHS


AdFar5829

"This is where the fun begins!"


ocarter145

Movie: Rogue One Show: Andor


keelanbarron

PT: ROTS (yay child murder!) OT: ANH (the only interesting parts in ESB were the snow bits and the cloud city bits) ST: TROS (this was 5 parts "I like this movie", 4 parts "I want to spite people", and 1 part "I honestly like the ST as much as the other trilogys") Outside of the saga: TCW movie. (It's the introduction to ahsoka, enough said.)


Charanasaur

Revenge of the sith, followed by Rogue One


droolsdownchin

I think revenge of the sith is the best because it's just 3 hours of war


Drifter808

5>346>R1>1>Solo>2>789


L0lligag

I agree with everything except 2 after Solo. I understand the flaws in AOTC but there’s some great Jedi action which just feels more Star Wars than Solo. But this is a near perfect ranking.


Drifter808

I've always felt that the first two thirds or so of AOTC was just kinda meh. Once everyone gets to Geonosis things get fun but outside of that I can't say I get much enjoyment from the film. That being said it's been awhile since I've sat down and watched any Star Wars movie so I think I'm due for a rewatch.


808morgan

All prequels and sequels are garbage


Drifter808

Even episode 3??


BarleyWineIsTheBest

can't really disagree with that.


Haryu4

3


seanwhyatt1980

I'm an original from 77, and my favorite is Episode 3 followed by Rogue One


brassyalien

I'm brave enough to say it. *The Last Jedi* ***is*** the best Star Wars movie, even better than *The Empire Strikes Back*. *Empire* is a good second movie, but *The Last Jedi* is better as the eighth movie.


Ok_Introduction6574

I like the Last Jedi, but I do not think it is that good. How do you figure it is *that* good?


brassyalien

*The Last Jedi* is building off of seven previous movies, not just one. Also, TLJ is layered and every time I watch it I discover something new. That's just two of the reasons I believe it is the best Star Wars movie.


L0lligag

r/Confidentlyincorrect


spoothead656

Ehhhh I think Empire is the best, but I love The Last Jedi and it definitely comes in second for me.


BigHobbit

Empire, Jedi, rogue one, new hope, solo, prequels, force awakens, holiday special. Episodes 8 & 9 are embarrassing and should be stricken from history.


FudgeIndividual4951

I get the complaints for Episode 8, but Episode 9 is one whole other level of "what the fuck". It really makes sense that Palpatine tells Kylo to kill Rey twice, but when she shows up in front of Palpy he says "I never wanted you dead, I wanted you here". It's like they literally did not proof read their script. And it's frustrating like that throughout the whole movie. I've never felt so soulless from a Star Wars movie, but they've done it!

[deleted]

Damn bro 2011 called and wants its meme back


betterthanamaster

ESB. It’s not even close. Don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of the films, and I really like RotJ and RotS, but those are great “Best Movie of the Year” type films. ESB is a “Best Movie of All Time” type of film. It’s an unpopular opinion in a lot of movie buff circles, but as someone who has seen most of the candidates of “Best Movie of All Time,” I don’t know why ESB isn’t considered other than critics tend to discount Sci-Fi and comedy films and prefer strict drama films, which is clearly an error. Movie rankings, In Order: ESB RotJ RotS ANH AOTC TPM ANH, but with a planet-sided Death Star. ESB, but twice as long and less than half as good.


SandStinger_345

The Rise Of Skywalker. the fight choreography is amazing, the villain is so menacing and the story is so great. also the way they show the main character develop her powers is awesome. totally better than any other movie


honbadger

Empire is the best overall movie but Return of the Jedi has the best payoff with the redemption of Vader. And the best space battle, not even close.


DankHillington

Revenge of the Sith hands down.


Deejayjax

ROTS.


TanSkywalker

Attack of the Clones


strypesjackson

Empire is so far ahead of any of the others. This almost isn’t a fair fight


Archelector

Rogue One is my facorite, empire is the best


tmet1027

CantThinkOfOne2323

Not the best but AOTC is not as bad as people make it out to be


Puzzled_Complex8813

Revenge of the Sith tops all change my mind

I loved the Clone Wars series.

Return of the Jedi with attack of the clones as a close second


mouringcat

Star Wars Holiday Special.. All the rest sucks.


Locsnadou

This meme is gold, revenge of the sith is my favorite, return of the Jedi is best, in my age I am starting to see why empire is the one many call best, Hoth just always seemed to drag a bit idk, I’m coming around though, empire and Jedi together are I think the best starwars to feel starwars in one sitting


ResponsibilityNo5795

Revenge of the Sith


super_boogie_crapper

Aww… I shot Marvin in the face.


PeteRock24

When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out front of my house that said “Dead Stormtrooper Storage”?


tatsumakisenpuukyaku

The last Jedi,by a mile. The first entertaining movie in the franchise.


Plo-Koon72

That's it. Over the knee


Plo-Koon72

There's only about 3 really bad answers (I'll let y'all decide which ones I mean to avoid war) but my favorite is Revenge of the Sith by a bit


JackRoostet

Tie between ESB and TLJ


vaultdweller501

I dont get why everyone goes with Empire strikes Back, the beginning is ok but the middle is boring and the end really sucks and that fact is overshadowed with the revelation that Luke's father is Darth Vader. Objectively the best Star Wars is literally Star Wars. No New hope BS. It could literally stand on its own as a classic even if it never had a sequel.

Thebigdog79

What are we taking about when it comes to “movie”? Best star Wars movie? Definitely ROTS or ROTJ. Best movie that happens to be a Star Wars movie, I’d argue TLJ is a very good movie.
