Which is the best?

I love all of them except Episode I and II. But my personal favorite is Episode IV: A New Hope. I'll probably be skinned for saying this here, but ANH is my favorite film of all time.

The Empire Strikes Back without a doubt.

Actually I like Episode 3 the best of all. I know everyone will think I'm crazy bust I actually like the first three better than the last three. I know nobody will agree with me on that but 1,2, and 3 just seem better. Someone will probably want to argue me on this lol.

IV

the infamous classic scene you just cant beat and han is such a bad ass in that movie

I can understand you saying EP III is your favorite but to even go so far as to say that Episode I and II were better than IV, V, and VI is outright mad. :p

I know I know but for me I just mainly love the effects of the first 3, granted the time difference makes a huge difference, and in those days that cg was super advanced, I just like that there more jedi, more lightsaber battles, more bang and flash, lol. I'm not that big a fan of episode 1, but for me sometimes the last 3 get too boring, I like story and all but I need a lot of pizzaz so to say. I'm not a big fan of Hans solo and I dont like how Ben Kenobi just doesn't seem that powerful, everyone just seemed more bada$$ in the first 3. Also I'm scared to say it but I actually liked Hayden playing Anakin, I'm probably the only one from what others say, also I do like how they added him in the remastered version, alright I'm outta here before I dig myself too deep, lol.

Empire. it's remarkable how nearly, actually, it's remarkable how PERFECT this film was and still is. Damn lucas for tampering with it. It's the quintessential star wars experience. I just could not put into words my feelings when I popped this into my vhs player back in the day, just having been blown clear to the back of my living room by A new hope. Then empire turned everything I just saw upside down, and added the unforgettable yoda character to the story, plus a mysterious glimpse of the emperor we heard about but never saw until then. The new films ruin that mysterious reveal of the emperor if you watch all of the movies in their proposed order…

Don't apologize. I grew up with the Original Trilogy (I was six in 1977, 12 in 1983–I was the target audience) but to me the Prequels are just as amazing. Watching the originals without the blinders of nostalgia, the acting isn't really that much better, and there's plenty of hokey dialog to go around in all six movies. And is Jar Jar really all that much cornier than some of the droid schtick in the originals? No, not really.

And yeah, the Jedi in action are amazing. After watching them tear into each other in Ep. 3 the final battle between Vader and Obi-Wan in Ep. 4 is…well, kind of embarrassingly ponderous.

After seeing it, I had to approve of having Hayden show up in Ep.6. He IS Anakin Skywalker, and it carries a lot more emotional resonance seeing the guy we saw rise and fall in two movies than some other guy who could really be just about anyone. I think Lucas could have short circuited some of the bitching about that, though, by maybe taking the time to make Hayden look a little older for that shot. :-)

I still consider Ep.5 the best, but Ep. 3 is very close behind. And after the prequels, I actually think Ep.6 is a lot better–the scenes with Vader, Luke, and Sidius have a lot more depth now that we know all the backstory

Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (to paraphrase Clerks b/c it ends on such a downer…that's all life is: a series of downers). Then a tie for 2nd place between Ep IV & Ep VI followed by Ep III.
