I just watched episode III again, and I loved it.
My new list:
1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Revenge of the Sith
3. Return of the Jedi
4. A New Hope
5. Attack of the Clones
6. Phantom Menace
I loved the emotion in episode III. I mean, seriously. Have you seen Luke, seeing the corpses of his aunt and uncle and not even changing his expression? My favorite line in all of Star Wars is:
"You were the Chosen One!" - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Episode III
That line conveyed so much frustration and sadness as Obi-Wan turns away from the new Sith Vader. These movies are my favorite 6 movies. My favorite video game is a Star Wars game. My favorite TV show is (please don't judge me, their are good episodes, try season 5 finale) the Clone Wars. My favorite toys as a child were lego Star Wars sets.
Star Wars is my favorite franchise by far, and I can't bear it when people hate on my favorite prequels. I get it, haters gotta hate, but please do it somewhere else.
(Wow, I sound so serious. Gotta say something random...potato in a minefield)
