Star Wars

My current ranking for the flicks, from best to worst, as of today:

1. V: The Empire Strikes Back
2. III: Revenge of the Sith
3. IV: A New Hope
4. II: Attack of the Clones
5. VI: Return of the Jedi
6. I: The Phantom Menace
7. IV.5: The Star Wars Holiday Special

If you have a similar list with the exception of III, you'll probably love III. I know many people would disagree with me placing II in the middle of the holy trilogy, but I think people put them on too high of a pedestal. Don't get me wrong, I love them. But let's not forget that Lucas hasn't written good dialogue since American Graffiti, and that the acting wasn't always the best. Sometimes, even as a kid, I wanted to smack Luke and 3PO around and yell at them to stop being such whiny bitches.

( Semi-spoilery note. Doesn't affect plot, really. Just an amusing question. )

EDIT: See the spoiler-ridden counterpoint by _sterno_ here, and _guy_incognito's spoilertastic review here.
