Star Wars Poll #2 - What is your favorite SW LIVE project
Return of the Jedi is my favorite for several reasons.
But Empire is definitely the best acted and well put together movie.
...and that pod race sure has some really great sound design in it.....

My favorite Star Wars film is ROTJ. Even though ESB is vastly superior, there's just something I liked about it the most ever since I was a kid.
ROTJ was always my favorite of the OT when I was a kid

I remember seeing ESB at the theater in 1980 and being all excited. They had the theatre decked out with SW stuff - was awesome. I think proceeded to watch my heroe's get their asses kicked for 2hrs and 20 minutes or so 
Made Jedi come off that much better with them getting to do the butt kicking this time I always rated the 1, 3, 2 as a result

I think age at the time of the release plays a role in how much influence those (OT) movies had. At least I feel it did for me.
I was 7 when SW came out, spent a few years playing with the toys, admiring the trading cards, going to bed looking at the wallpaper, dreaming about it regularly. Keep in mind there wasn't much else going on in in the late 70s. Like I've said in the past; there's a period before SW, and a very different one after. So at 10, when ESB came out, my child's mind was ready for some serious hardcoding. ESB (and its open-ending) took care of that. That's why for me, ESB is up there.
ROTJ had too much closure. Jabba dies, BF "dies", Yoda dies, the Emperor "dies", Vader dies, the Empire is "defeated".
Nearly 40 years later I'm still watching ROTJ a few times a year. Crazy.

Extremely well written post
Well I wasn't even born for either of them.
Phantom Menace was the first one I saw on the big screen.
I will hopefully get to see Star Wars(ANH) for the first time on the big screen in April.
Oh wow! What's the occasion? Is it being re-released in your area?
It's being screened with live orchestra.
First time hearing, well ANY film score performed live.
I had booked tickets to a similar event except for "THE TERMINATOR" in August of 2019, in France. It was supposed to happen in May 2020. However some big virus event happened instead. Hmmm.
