This has got to be THE GREATEST movie ever I reckon. It's got great action, comedy, twists, and the ending is such a happy ending, it's just such a great end to such a fantastic trilogy.

I dunno....something about a bunch of half naked mini wookies dancing around a fire and everything made for a so so ending...LOL anyways..I liked the movie...thought it was great and all...but something still seemed to be lacking after all was sadi and done....personally I thought The Empire Strikes Back was better.....couple that with the beginning of Return when they rescue han and everything that was great.

Being the Star Wars fan that I am, of course I do love this movie. My favorite scenes include Luke, Vader, and The Emporer on the Death Star, thier dialogue just before the final battle between Luke and Vader.
Much like Wolf though, I preffered The Empire Strikes Back over Return of the Jedi, simply for the fact that it was a darker movie, and ended on such a dark note. The twist of 'Empire' being that Vader was Luke's father was probably one of the largest movie twists of all time. I remember seeing that George Lucas kept such a secret, that the only two people who really knew about it during production was him, Mark Hamil, and James EArl Jones. David Prowse, who played Vader but not the voice, were feed some other BS lines during the filming of that scene, so he didnt even kno about it. Lucas did everything to keep that aspect of the story from leaking untill it was released in theatres.

Don't get me wrong Zero, I love all of the Original Films, but I'm still thinking that Empire is the best of the three.
I understand what Lucas was doing by having the Ewoks help defeat the Empire. Y'know, the whole "Nature VS. Technology" thing, and I did enjoy the sequences with Luke, Vader, and Sidious aboard the Death Star II as well. I just feel that Empire was a better film because, in my opinion, it was one of the first major motion pictures that I remember, where the "good guys" didn't win. It was very realistic in that sense. Plus, in Empire you have so many things revealed about Luke and Leia's origins, and about Vader, and Han and Leia finally let their true feelings out, only to be separated. Plus Boba Fett is really cool too. LOL!
Like I said, I LOVE RotJ, I simply LOVE ESB more.

Yeah ESB is still prob the best. The best bit is the bit in the trash compactor. But nothing beats in the 6th when they're about to attack the storm troopers and leia says to han "be careful, there's a lot of them" and han goes "hey, it's me!"

Harrison Ford had some great lines as Han Solo, but I think I enjoed him even more as Indiana Jones. Especially some of those goofy facial expressions he made when Indy was in various stages of trouble. Han Solo never made faces as goofy as Indy......except maybe when he was frozen in carbonite! HA!

OH! Almost forgot! My favorite Han Solo Line Ever!
"Kid, I been from one side o'this galaxy to th'other, seen alotta strange stuff, but I never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful "Force" controllin' my destiny."
I think Harrison Ford was drunk when they shot this scene in Episode 4: A New Hope. Watch it and listen to how he slurs his speech. Tell me what you think! lol

my all time favorite harrison ford scene is in Temple of Doom when the guy with the sword is doing all this fancy stuff and he just pulls out his gun and shoots him.....that whole scene BTW was an accident....Ford was tired and didnt feel like filming the scipted scene and just pulled out his prop gun and shot him...luckily the actor rolled with it....and thereby getting one of the best scenes ever IMO.
