10.18.15 | List is soundtracks ranked. I would also rank the movies in this order tbh. |
hal1ax
10.18.15 | empire >> |
dathvada321
10.18.15 | Agreed. |
zaruyache
10.18.15 | The fact that there's gonna be a primary female protagonist with prob more screentime than Leia makes me happy. I'm expecting the new film to be fantastic. |
hal1ax
10.18.15 | ya that's my ranking too fourth. except maybe ep I above Iii because darth maul |
Slex
10.18.15 | yeah i do think V is the clear best
both the new Star Treks were amazing and this new Star Wars has a phenomenal cast so I'm crazy pumped for it, going to see it for my Bday on New Year's Eve |
zaruyache
10.18.15 | you mean a few more years... there's like two more main films and two spinoffs at least you need to see before ending it. |
Artuma
10.18.15 | only seen the old ones but yeah v is my favorite too |
Source
10.18.15 | I've never been a huge fan of the series, but i enjoy watching the original three on occasion |
Calc
10.18.15 | yeah same here. nvr been a fan. just kinda like it |
sonictheplumber
10.18.15 | empire is the best |
Egarran
10.18.15 | Mr. Plinkett's reviews of 1-3 are among the best things ever. |
Madbutcher3
10.18.15 | V, IV, VI, III, I, II is pretty much the obvious order. 5 has probably the best soundtrack |
tempest--
10.18.15 | New hope is my fav, it's just THE classic Star Wars movie but OG trilogy is pretty much the best thing ever
Prequel trilogy is obviously far less superior but I still like em they're enjoyable enough
Hype for ep VII def gonna see it first day |
tempest--
10.18.15 | if rowan comes in this thread and said Mark hammill sucks im gonna poo my pants |
theBoneyKing
10.18.15 | V, IV, VI, III, II, I
I am a massive Star Wars fan, was so pissed off when they killed the Expanded Universe, but I now understand their decision and am really excited for the new movies. I'm willing to bet they'll be better than all the prequels except maybe Revenge. |
dtsanchez
10.18.15 | IV, V, VI, III, I, II
so sad Disney bought the rights and is probably going to ruin the franchise |
Krvst
10.18.15 | Pretty much anything will be better than the prequels. Attack of the clones is one of the worst films ever. |
TheGreatQ
10.18.15 | "both the new Star Treks were amazing"
Fuck off. Also new Star Wars will be worse than the prequels. |
MeatSalad
10.18.15 | "Also new Star Wars will be worse than the prequels."
not possible |
AlexKzillion
10.18.15 | III, V, IV, VI, II, I
I like II better then I because its way funnier with all the horrible dialogue. |
IGetMyMSG
10.18.15 | IV, VI, V, I, II, III
I was also pissed off they uncanonised the expanded universe, would have loved to see them base the films on the yuuzhan vong and the destruction of coruscant.
New movie I am optimistic for however. |
TheSpirit
10.18.15 | "would have loved to see them base the films on the yuuzhan vong"
this so hard. jacen's progression through the war is my favorite thing to happen in the expanded universe by far |
Krvst
10.18.15 | "Also new Star Wars will be worse than the prequels."
Phew, thank you for coming from the future and forewarning us. |
SitarHero
10.18.15 | In order of Soundtracks:
IV, V, I, VI, III, II
Also:
"would have loved to see them base the films on the yuuzhan vong and the destruction of coruscant."
F*ck the NJO and Yuuzhan Vong. The Bantam Books Universe was a clusterf*ck (except for the stuff written by Zahn, Alston and Stackpole), but at least it was sometimes fun. That Yuuzhan Vong business was just drudgery. |
TheSpirit
10.18.15 | I love 'Traitor'. Jacen becomes such a badass. |
MO
10.18.15 | Yea oringal trilogy is good. Prequels are total shit and always will be. I encourage every single person to watch redlettermedia's review of at least the phantom menace. They're too perfect and are better than the prequels |
dathvada321
10.18.15 | I like ROTS a lot, but I and II are trash. |
theBoneyKing
10.18.15 | The original trilogy are some of the greatest films ever imo, but the prequels are so embarrassing. They could have been a lot better with better casting (read "anybody other than Hayden Christensen"). |
AmericnZero02
10.18.15 | Yeah some of those casting choices were terrible. Luckily Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, and Sam Jackson were all great in the prequels. |
TheGreatQ
10.18.15 | would have loved to see them base the films on the yuuzhan vong [3] |
theBoneyKing
10.18.15 | I mean when is Samuel L. Jackson not great amirite? |
AmericnZero02
10.18.15 | Very true ;) The Clone Wars series was pretty entertaining, especially if you enjoyed the characters in the prequels but not the actors. |
dathvada321
10.18.15 | New poster just dropped. |
TheMagicalBlender
10.18.15 | For movies:
IV > V > VI > III > II > I |
beefshoes
10.18.15 | IV has always been my personal favorite, but V is probably the best objectively speaking. I have no idea about the soundtracks though. |

10.18.15 | heres ep VII poster:

final trailer on tuesday as well |
Mongi123
10.18.15 | Can't wait for it! Ep. III was easily the best out of the prequels but they were mostly shit. Thanks Hayden Christensen!! Can't beat the originals though they rule :) |
AmericnZero02
10.18.15 | Thanks for the heads up on the poster. Looks pretty good. No Luke though... |
dathvada321
10.18.15 | Trailer will be Monday night. There have been commercials on espn for it. Unless you are in Europe. |
Gyromania
10.18.15 | revenge of the sith is lol tbh. all of the prequel movies sucked ass but contained some great moments (the best of them being the battle with darth maul. otherwise i agree with this list. empire strikes back is obviously leagues ahead of all the other movies |
someguest
10.18.15 | Meh. I saw the new trailer for this before Crimson Peak last night. It looks drab.
Now Spectre...the trailer for that was fucking incredible. Three weeks to go. |
Gyromania
10.18.15 | "Thanks Hayden Christensen!!"
you know, his acting was hilariously melodramatic in the movies, but have you considered how embarrassingly awful his dialogue was? like, actually pay attention to the dialogue and seriously tell me if you could act it out without sounding as bad. the problem was in the writing for anakin; they totally fucking ruined him. as if that whiny, naive little shit could have turned into darth vader
someguest: was it good? i'm going to see it in a couple hours |
someguest
10.18.15 | Yeah, it was good. It's more gothic drama than horror. You'll jump a few times. |
Gyromania
10.18.15 | the trailer made it look cheesy but that isn't a big criticism when it comes to horror - some of my favorites horrors of all time are hilariously cheesy. but like, how does it fare against his other movies? the trailer made the horror leanings seem pretty important. seemed like another one of those 'descend down through the basement' types where things keep getting more and more fucked up |
someguest
10.18.15 | It has a quite disgusting plot development in it. I told my girlfriend it was going to exist, and it did.
I will say it's barely rated R. It's more creepy than gruesome. And there's no climax. It maintains a moderate pace from beginning to end. |
Gyromania
10.18.15 | it's at least pretty beautiful to look at though eh?
when i saw the inside of the estate i was immediately reminded of casper (the first movie of course, not the disasters that followed it).
and blood and guts isn't really necessary for a horror movie to be scary. i more so appreciate tension and creepiness |
someguest
10.18.15 | It's beautiful. It's creepy. It's really a romance. |
Gyromania
10.18.15 | yeah a lot of people are saying it's more gothic romance than horror, which i was initially upset about. the trailer hinted to there being some pretty creepy and cool looking ghouls, but whatever, it's del toro, i'm sure it'll be great. maybe not pan's labyrinth-tier, but that would be asking for the impossible |
Ocean of Noise
10.18.15 | A New Hope was the best movie tbh, Empire is a close second though |
porcupinetheater
10.18.15 | New Star Wars will suck just like most of the rest, and J.J. "I killed the Star Trek reboots too" Abrams will ensure that numba VII follows this storied trend. |
teamster
10.18.15 | Love all the soundtracks and Empire is possibly my favorite movie of all time... |
Gyromania
10.18.15 | the star trek movies were pretty decent wtf |
demigod!
10.18.15 | looking forward to getting stoned and seeing it in theaters with the lads |

I have REALLY high expectations for Episode VII honestly. |
dathvada321
10.18.15 | I don't want to set my expectations too high. Usually you enjoy things more if you don't expect as much. |
AmericnZero02
10.18.15 | @Gyromania
Regarding the dialogue. I've thought the exact same thing. You really can't blame actors to some extent when the words their characters are forced to speak are lifeless or unbearably cheesy. Yeah Anakin really came off as whiny. You really don't ever see any good reason for Padme to fall him. |
AlexKzillion
10.18.15 | The Prequels had solid Dialogue |
AlexKzillion
10.18.15 | Lines like:
POOOWWAAAAAA
I don't like sand. It's coarse, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere.
YIPEEEE
Are you an Angel?
I HATE YOUUUUU
...and many more. |
zaruyache
10.18.15 | It's amazing how the prequels messed up where they shouldn't have. I mean Natalie Portman is a good actress but the directing + dialogue made her horrible as Padme. |
MeatSalad
10.19.15 | I dont have high expectations since Abrams is only competent at making fun and flashy movies |
RogueNine
10.19.15 | Honestly I put IV and VI above V. Regardless, I am pretty excited for the new one. |
AmericnZero02
10.22.15 | I'm also in that minority that really enjoys ep I.
@TheMrAlexK: Case in point, haha. Very well put.

BeyondCosby
10.22.15 | Movie ranking:
VI
V
III
IV
II
I
Honestly I don't find the prequels to be that bad. Jar Jar is annoying and I think they could have made one and two a little less cringey at times but they aren't un-watchable. III has the best soundtrack by far.
There is a video on youtube where a guy totally rewrites one and two. In them he starts with Anakin being the age he is in Attack of the Clones and already working through his training. It seems silly to see where he began when what's really interesting is his turning to the dark side. The other frustrating thing is that the Jedi know the dark side is working heavily in their midst and yet they do nothing to track down the sith. Just things I think about I guess.
The new trailers look sick. It frustrates me that some people are totally knocking it before the damn things comes out. |
zaruyache
10.22.15 | "I'm also in that minority that really enjoys ep I. "
I dig it too! The acting isn't horrible and the dialogue isn't as cringey as it is in the latter 2 films. Jar Jar is lulzy (but you can't assume every alien has to be super serious) and Portman has some stiff acting, but the rest is pretty decent. Liam Neeson was pretty great. |
MeatSalad
10.22.15 | People are gonna knock it regardless of how good the trailers are cosby, there's gonna be an air of skepticism among anyone who was disappointed by the prequels even though lucas' involvement is minimal
star trek into darkness was also kinda dumb but fun |
zaruyache
10.22.15 | I really liked Into Darkness |
MeatSalad
10.22.15 | I enjoyed it for what it was, was also nice that nimoy got to squeeze in one last performance |
Storm In A Teacup
10.22.15 | Liam Neeson was the best thing about the prequel trilogy and an outstanding choice for playing a Jedi Master. Here's my ranking
VI
V
I
III
IV
...
...
...
II |
TheGreatQ
10.22.15 | Into Darkness was complete trash. |
BeyondCosby
10.23.15 | Into Darkness was a pretty fun movie but I was kinda ticked off about the ending. Why rewrite Wrath of Khan? The death scene was really well done but it was still a little frustrating to have that parallel. |
Gyromania
10.23.15 | i don't know how anybody can prefer a new hope to empire strikes back. a new hope is second best in the series and a great movie but come on. empire is better in every way |
Storm In A Teacup
10.25.15 | Empire is clearly better but it's hard choosing between A New Hope and Return. Sometimes they all three seem unrankable. |
MyNameIsPencil
10.25.15 | V
IV
VI
III
II
I
I have such a safe opinion with star wars but that is okay I guess. Also I'm expecting VII to be good, and I hope to every god that I am not proven wrong |
zaruyache
10.25.15 | at the very least it'll be visually stunning but I have high hopes for it regardless. |

11.07.15 | the voice of the leader in the trailer sounds too different to be JarJar, but I'd love it if he ended up the leader. It'd be so hilariously clever I'd totally lose it. |
