Re: Star Wars
I guess I'll give my rankings:
1. Star Wars
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Return of the Jedi
4. The Force Awakens/Rogue One (tied)
5. Star Wars Holiday Special
6. The Last Jedi
7. Revenge of the Sith/Attack of the Clones
8. The Phantom Menace
I used to have Empire in top place when I was a kid, now I prefer the first one.

Re: Star Wars
Officially (someone is holding us accountable, right?), I go with Empire, but it's such a 1 and 1a thing. Star Wars is a self-contained masterpiece that launches a billion imaginations, while Empire amps up the human stakes and dashes the expected happy ending. Empire requires there be a third part, but you can't ask for a better one-two.

Very high in concept, very high in anticipation, and mostly disappointing in execution. The really dumb thing is that even knowing how mediocre it is, if I see it's on tv I get kinda excited and start watching.

I lost my Canadian status card for not going into mourning over Gord Downie's death. And probably because I haven't watched any hockey in at least fifteen years.

The setup of TLJ reminded me a lot of the Long March.

Apart from Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern getting hit in the balls, he's the funniest part of Home Alone. And I didn't even realise his bits were supposed to be comedic as a kid.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 11:22amFor me it's John Candy.
