As Revenge of the Sith continues to rack up the box office $$$$$$ (374 million US), I thought I'd start a thread to talk about the BEST of all of the Star Wars films!

Provide YOUR opinions on the following:

1) Best Lightsabre duel
2) Best space battle
3) Best ship
4) Best ground battle
5) Best scene
6) Best "love" scene
7) Best bounty hunter
8) Best SITH
9) Best Villain
10) Best Jedi
11) Best non-Jedi hero (ie: Lando, the droids, etc)
12) Best actor
13) Best actress
14) Best theme music (ie: Vader's theme, Duel of the Fates, etc.)
15) Best movie poster
16) Best movie


If anyone has any more categories to add, please feel free to include.

1) Best Lightsabre duel

TOUGH CALL...I'm at a tossup with three of them: Obi Wan & Qui Gon vs. Darth Maul; Yoda vs. Sidious; and Obi Wan vs. Anakin...

2) Best space battle

Up against the Death Star in Episode IV...probably the most dramatic and the whole end game of the movie...

3) Best ship

Story wise, the Falcon - looks wise, I'd call it Padme's ship...

4) Best ground battle

Trying to hold off the Empire on Hoth, Empire Strikes Back...

5) Best scene

Vader defeats Luke and announces "I am your father!", Empire Strikes Back...

6) Best "love" scene

One qualifies as "best"? :D

7) Best bounty hunter

Boba!! Even though he was almost totally ineffectual throughout the movies... :)

8) Best SITH

Who else? :D

9) Best Villain

Sidious, easily

10) Best Jedi

Yoda

11) Best non-Jedi hero (ie: Lando, the droids, etc)

Chewbacca! What a wookie!

12) Best actor

Harrison Ford, but I really think Ewen McGregor and Hayden carried Ep II and III...Ian as Sidious...Oscar worthy, honestly...

13) Best actress

Carrie Fisher vs. Natalie Portman...hmmm...probably Carrie, although I hate giving her props for anything...

14) Best theme music

Vaders Theme...you heard it, you knew shit was about to hit the fan somewhere...

15) Best movie poster

I really liked Return of the Jedi's...still do...

16) Best movie

Tie - Revenge of the Sith/Empire Strikes Back

1) Luke Vs Vader 1 from "TESB" although it`s impact has diminished if you watch the films in order.

2) The trench run on the first Death Star

3) Vader`s Super Star Destroyer

4) Hoth

5) The Falcon arriving to help Luke destroy the Death Star, Yoda raising Luke`s X-wing from Dagobah swamp, Vader`s "I am your father", Palpatine`s "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?"

6) Luke kissing Leia in "TESB" (Euch!)

7) IG88

8) Vader

9) Palpatine

10) Obi Wan Kenobi

11) Han Solo

12) Harrison Ford (Except "ROTJ" where he looks like he`s not even trying)

13) Carrie Fisher

14) Vader`s theme or the Star Wars theme

15) Empire

16) I really like "Revenge of the Sith" but "Empire..." has been my favourite film for 25 years, so "The empire strikes back".

1 = I have three I like for different reasons: Vader vs Luke (ESB), Anakin vs Obi (ROTS) and Darth Maul vs two uninspired actors collecting a fat George Lucas check (TPM).

2 = The opening sequence of Sith and the Falcon being chased through the asteroids in ESB.

3 = Tie Fighters...those motherfuckers are still the deep space shit.

4 = Hoth, hoth and hoth!

5 = Vader/Luke "I am your fucking father" and the entire Anakin/Obi scene after Anakin gets the chop on Mustafar. When he screams "I hate you" my arm hair sticks the fuck up.

6 = Luke and the Trash Compactor monster. Luke nailed him right in the brown eye.

7 = Bossk - this fucker needs his own movie. He could attack Tokyo.

8 = I'll catch heat for this one but what the fuck: Darth Maul!!!!

9 = Darth Vader from ANH & ESB.

10 = Anakin...yeah I know but...

11 = Indiana Solo uhhhh, I mean Han Jones...Jack Ryan? The fucker with the scar on his chin.

12 = Harrison from ANH and ESB - Ian from ROTS.

13 = Bai Ling and Salacious Crumb.

14 = The main Star Wars theme, the Imperial March and Duel of the Fates.

15 = any of the original ANH posters and the red lightsaber Anakin for ROTS.

16 = Tie ESB and ROTS. Yeah, Sith really was that fucking good! Go see it again people!

Mezro...don't forget my all time favorite Star Wars universe character...Snaggletooth!...

1) Best Lightsabre duel - Yoda vs. Sidious. When Sidious is shooting his lighning and turning up the voltage on Yoda, Yoda turns and has this 'i've had about enough of this shit' look on his face.
2) Best space battle - Return of the Jedi ending - Watching the Millennium Falcon escape the Death Star is titillating.
3) Best ship - Super Star Destroyer - sheer size and firepower
4) Best ground battle - Hoth
5) Best scene - 'I am your father.'
6) Best "love" scene - Han and Leia before carbon freeze.
7) Best bounty hunter - Boba Fett
8) Best SITH - The Emperor
9) Best Villain - Darth Vader
10) Best Jedi - Yoda
11) Best non-Jedi hero (ie: Lando, the droids, etc) - Han Solo
12) Best actor - Alec Guinness
13) Best actress - Carrie Fisher
14) Best theme music (ie: Vader's theme, Duel of the Fates, etc.) - Vader's Theme
15) Best movie poster - The Empire Strikes Back
16) Best movie - Revenge of the Sith

Easy there, Carmine.

Let's not say 'Gay" and 'Star Wars' in the same sentence here.

How about 'lame'?

Me too.

While I love Star Wars, I never understood the need or the passion to go out and spend money to dress up like a character.

Other than Halloween, why do such a thing?

I can make one comparison. I've at least worn KISS makeup at a KISS concert. Yup.

I ain't ashamed to admit that.:p
