No. It was not. What was surprising? That the writer couldn't write plots? We realised this during Episode I and II.

I'd rather have her working on them than George Lucas. Say what you want about "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela", but it is not Star Wars prequel level of badness.

I see your preference for Episode III and raise you this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djIm4ib7kug
I don't prefer it... and that video was hilarious. Episode 3 will never be as good as the original trilogy, but at least now, all of the battles are story-based rather than just for looking cool like in Clones or especially in Phantom Menace. I loved it... but whenever they had romantic dialogue it brought it down, and instead of making Darth Vader cool again they gave him: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ooooooooooo!" But it's still better than I or II. Anyone can admit that.

The Empire Strikes Back is the best and The Star Wars holiday Special is the worst.

Oh no, I voted for the wrong one! I voted for the first one on the poll thinking it would be A New Hope, but of course with the blasted prequels that took place before, my logic of oldest one made first is out the window. God damn those shitty prequels!...

Fishy did you watch those prequel reviews that were going around on the Youtubes? Start here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxKtZmQgxrIIf you get past the silly voice and crazy psycho stuff he's totally right, the prequels were a pile of balls 20m high!

Haven't seen 'em because they are just too long. I've heard they are funny and I think I would enjoy them, but seriously...if you can't tell me that a movie sucks in five minutes or less, you're just not trying hard enough. If I'm in an analytical mood, I can admit that the movie had a lot of suck. But meh...it's still entertaining enough for me. It's probably not something I would pay to see again today, but when I come across it while flipping around on TV I'll usually watch it. I think, in my old age, my love of Star Wars has morphed from loving the story and badass action elements to loving the art design and imagination/creativity of it all. (This is probably why I continue to watch the Clone Wars cartoon even though some of the stories have been eye-rollingly bad. The animators do a great job of expanding on Ralph McQuarrie's artwork.) I think The Phantom Menace is extremely successful in that regard. Lots of great designs, lots of great locations. The acting is spotty and there is some weak writing, but the plot overall is solid enough and (for me) it is fun to watch. Attack of the Clones and Return of the Jedi were unsuccessful in that regard. They both lacked fresh designs and had mostly boring settings, plus I think they both had the weakest scripts anyway. A New Hope and Empire are the best of both worlds, with great designs and also legitimately good writing and directing.

No, the point of them is to be long. They are supposed to be small films themselves. That's the entire idea. It's just a review. It's supposed to be entertainment in itself. And it is; great entertainment. I have personally watched all of his reviews 5 times each. In addition, they are a very analytic piece of work about what you should not do when making films or doing general storytelling. And if you don't like watching the first review in pieces on YouTube, it is available in one piece: http://blip.tv/file/3795340/

I can't believe I just noticed this thread...I'm the biggest Star Wars fan in the universe  Anyway, I often get asked this question, and it's impossible for me to answer. But I will say I love 5, 6, and 3 the most. I love all Star Wars. Soooo tired of the constant prequel bashing...

I've so far not seen any of the prequel movies. At first this was because I was simply uninterested and had no desire to go out of my way to see them, the same reason I didn't buy into any of the the non-canon stuff. These days, however, I actively select against the prequels. For example, if I'm at work on a Sunday night, and the only things on are infomercials, any or all of the prequels, and something on VH1, I'll just turn the TV off and read something online.
That being said, ESB is probably my favorite. It's not as flashy, zoomy, or explody as the first or third movies, but it is a better story.
