well, it was a tough choice. I\'ve seen each episode SO many times. You\'re right avvy, the twist that Darth vader was indeed Luke\'s father was almost overwhelming. But still, i voted Return of the Jedi. It didn\'t have as good a plot twist, but still, it was just a fantastic movie, you got the final confrontation. The twist that Leia and Luke were sisters. Death of Yoda. Seeing Darth without the mask, and the MAGIC of those cast extras dancing in their 15 minutes of fame in the "post-destruction-of-empire" party on endor. It was just a very well rounded movie, and I actually feel that it was a somewhat fitting end to the series...
Phantom menace was definitely the worst. Anybody who saw all 3 original episodes in their ORIGINAL form, ie. NOT the mastered versions that were re released a few years ago, will know there was a certain feel, and aura about the series. Star wars the name made you feel something, it was just something about it. I really didn\'t think the phantom menace captured that feel at all, and in a way almost didn\'t feel like a true part of the series.
Meh... it had COOL light saber battles, and natalie portman... I suppose there\'s little else you could want
