Now that the Walt Disney Company has bought Lucasfilm and Star Wars. And Disney is planning to make episode VII. Here are the top three films of the science-fiction franchise. These movies feature unforgettable moments like "I Am Your Father" and characters like Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Boba Fett and Darth Vader. (Not the awful ones like the clumsy comic relief Jar Jar Binks or the "I hate sand" scene).
While the other prequels did not quite live up to the original films, REVENGE OF THE SITH is dark and tragic but brings back the good old storytelling that made the series grand. It still has the right tools, like the visuals, some incredible action scenes, and an ending that helps to link both trilogies together. Not only was it the strongest of the two prequels, but it was also the conclusion of Star Wars.
A NEW HOPE is a movie that started the whole franchise. It is the first film in the original trilogy. It introduced the elements that brought the series together, such as the characters, visuals, and music by John Williams. It's the most exciting and excellent way to start a film saga like Star Wars, and I suggest you watch the unaltered version instead of the special edition. Yes, it does include the scene, which is the crowning moment, where Han shoots first.
It may be the absolute fan favourite of all the Star Wars movies. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK has provided aspects, such as a romantic subplot involving Han and Leia and new characters like Yoda and Boba Fett. There are iconic moments, impressive action scenes, and the most shocking plot twist in film history. And who can forget the way it ends on a cliffhanger? I always thought that Return of the Jedi was the series' best. Now I believe in EMPIRE and consider it my ultimate top favourite movie.
Good list. I love Star Wars and they are the most important films ever made to me. Here is my list.
ReplyDelete1: Empire Strikes Back
2: Star Wars (1977)
3: Return of the Jedi
4: Revenge of the Sith
Also the top 3 are also my Top 3 films of all-time.
