"It is a period of civil war". I don't think anyone in the Star Wars franchise can have an opinion without being bashed anymore. I mean I love the sequels. *Raises Shield*

Phantom Menace 9. Force Awakens 10. Battle for Endor 11. Rise of Skywalker 12. Courage of Caravan 13. The Last Jedi 14. A Holiday Special I really enjoy the original trilogy alot. The prequels I enjoy way more than the sequels. The sequels for me are really disappointing. I did like the 2 spin off films though. Those make more sense than the sequels which I feel contradict the movies. I dont consider than sequels canon but fan Fiction. For starters they contradict Vader being the chosen 1 to bring balance to the force accomplished ep 6. Now your saying that doesnt matter anymore and now have all these new characters 30 years later with no full explanation on what happened. My other 2 biggest problems with the sequels is 1. I dont like any of the new characters 2. There is way many questions left unanswered all 3 movies. When I saw the prequels and original trilogy I didnt have tons of questions being confused on stuff left unanswered.
Theres so many children or people who arent old enough too see RotJ in theatres love Sith because its the first not bad star wars movie they saw live. Many also like the dark aspect, although I hardly cared for Anakins character ark because he's an unlikeble dick and a failure up until he saves Lukes ass. Revenge of the Sith so beloved and its problems are so casually overlooked that its gotten too be overrated.
@@joebuck4957 I dont get why so many hate on the prequels and love the sequels better. The prequels are not perfect, well the 1st and 2nd have some boring moments with the court room stuff. But the action, jedi battles, and main heros and villians are far more interesting and entertaining to watch vs the sequels in my opinion. So many great epic fights, wars and battles in ep1, 2, and 3. The same cant be said for the sequels. Now let's compare the main hero and villians each films. Obi Wan overall is the main hero of the 3 but we also have qui gon, anakin sort of gray until he turns bad ep 3. Yoda, and Mace plus the rest of the jedi council. Than for villians it's mainly Darth sidious but there is also darth maul, count dokku, and general Grievous. In sequels we have rey poe and finn. And for villians hux, Snoke, and kylo ren. In my opinion these new characters are way worse than the ones I mention in the prequels.
@@oliverqueen9886 the biggest and only problem with the pres was Lucas was the director and main screenwriter. He created this universe give him credit but he should of handed out the directing and screenwriter dutys too real pros like he did in empire and Return
if he accepted credits it would be because tatooine would be part of the republic, therefore Anakin wouldn't have been a slave and would be somewhere else
Revenge of the with was always my favourite. I just loved the way Anakin’s life got ruined in days and all the drama surrounding that. It was also really cool to see how he turned to the dark side!
@@Nate-Turner23 Not only that, but the whole ball started rolling in The Phantom Menace when Qui Gon died during the duel of the fates. The first and most impactful duel of the fates, for Anakin's fate and all those he would later go on to harm or destroy. That's why I appreciate Anakin's attitude in Attack of the Clones. It wasn't like he was "whiny" for no reason, he had nobody to confide in except Padme and the dark lord of the sith himself. The Jedi constantly pressured him to avoid attachment.
@@Nate-Turner23 Frankly, the biggest was Ahsoka leaving. The Jedi, maybe not the Council specifically, but many Jedi, some on the Council, tried to help him. But he didn't trust them, because all of them, save for Plo Koon, voted against Ahsoka, and betrayed his trust. And so, he barely trusted them, let alone listened to them. Plus, Ahsoka wasn't there to help him.
That just goes to show you that star wars fans just wanted to hate new star wars just because it's new star wars. There's nothing wrong with the cross guard lightsaber although it may be unnecessary.
Bournefort cuz Star Wars theory is a REAL Star Wars fan . He just loves Star Wars altogether and the Star Wars universe and the prequels show the universe the most
Lol the sequels being "bad" doesnt magically make the prequels good. Prequels are still bad. I'll take any of the sequels over any prequel movie, but I personally dont mind the prequels. I can watch any of them and still enjoy myself. The problem is people feel the need to bash down either a sequel/prequel movie in order to lift the other and thats just ridiculous and not the case. I strongly believe you can find joy in any episode from 1-9. And I like TLJ, clearly there is good in TLJ as well
Episode 5 was my favorite as a kid until Episode 3! Revenge of the Sith is my absolute favorite. Anakin's confusion and turmoil, the action, epic intro, Mustafar lightsaber battle, epic lines! "Hello there"; "I hate you", the parallel scene between Padme giving birth and Vader's operation was brilliant. The ending was a perfect transition to the next trilogy.
@@Dustyholes The OT are classics and well remembered. The prequels (and sequels, for that matter) are well remembered but aren't classic, nor will they ever be. Prequels aren't well received and beloved in a way for them to reach a classic status. Yes, many classics were given bad reviews back in the day (The Thing, Blade Runner), but the prequels haven't aged like that. They're still weakly written, acted, edited etc. They're not movies that will be loved by audiences 40 years from now in the same way the OT is now in 2020, nor have they had a similar cultural impact.
I watched Return of the Jedi as a 10 year old child in the movie theater. It was one of the memorable movies experiences that I ever experienced. The scene when Palpatine was shocking Luke with the force lightning was intense. And then when Vader picked up the Emperor to save his son the whole theater erupted in cheers.
I was 13 when return of the Jedi came out. I saw it three times in the theaters this was before we had VHS tapes and could rewatch it multiple times at home. If you wanted to see it again, you paid to go. And every time I watch this movie I was literally on the edge of my seat the last 30 minutes. To see the three conflicts constantly interchanging on the screen. Knowing that they were deciding the fate of the galaxy for centuries to come. Would evil win against good. With the death Star take out the rebel fleet. Would our heroes on the moon be overwhelmed and wiped out? Who knew. And the emperor's cackling baiting evil voice narrating the whole thing Made your blood boil. When Luke is being tortured to death you felt yourself cringing as if you were being struck with lightning. And when Darth Vader suddenly changes, grabs the emperor and throws into his death you felt this great release. All this tension built up over three movies and almost 10 years meant that good definitely triumphed over evil in the end. It was a wonderful fairy tale to grow up with. I don't think anything that's come after has captured that magic.
for the longest time as a child (0-7) i was a star wars fan but i never watched any movie i just knew the story from the lego game. i fucking loved that game, but for some reason i traded it in at gamestop so i could get new super mario bros wii. i want it back so bad.
I remember as a kid getting Darth Maul's saber. My neighbor had Qui Gon Jinn's. We literally would saber fight for weeks after school....and then 1 day my Darth maul saber snapped in half play fighting...I wasn't angry...I literally thought "WOW IT"S JUST LIKE THE MOVIE!!!!"
@@GMPranav because they actually rehearsed with a trained martial artist (Ray Park) and didn’t just flop a lightsaber around lifelessly. It felt like they were REALLY trying to hit each other, which made it look more realistic and better IMO.
Remember, the first trilogies dialogue was clunky too but we got invested because of the world building and the characters. The prequels did this as well but definitely focused more on world building and lore than character. If you look past it all and see that the prequels and original trilogy are fundamentally different but the same, the prequels can be quite enjoyable.
@@thewalkingcontrarian257 In fact the prequels are more enjoyable. The originals are more classy but feel a bit like documentaries in some parts. The prequels' scenes either were straight up were interesting or were pure memes. So either way they were enjoyable.
The action I can definitely agree with. Rogue One arguably has some of the best action scenes in the final act....... but the characters are so so unmemorable. I've seen it all the way through at least 5 or 6 times and I honestly cannot remember any of the names except for the Droid K2SO, which speaks volumes lol
@@darkknightniner9862 for me, in a weird way, that’s part of what makes it good. There are so many characters that band together to make the ultimate sacrifice, that it’s more so the act itself that is remembered rather than the people behind it. Idk if that makes sense but I don’t fault the movie so much for it
I know George got a lot of backlash about putting Hayden as a replacement of the original actor for Return of the Jedi. But I thought it was sentimental and represented a symbol of; Anakin going back to a time when he WAS Anakin. He died when he became Darth Vader, like Obiwan said. I really enjoyed that change
I never saw a logistical problem with Hayden appearing in ROTJ. Originally, Vader died and his spirit cast off his cybernetics, repaired the appearance of his damaged flesh, gave him hair and Jedi robes... so why not return him to his ‘purer’ young Jedi form?
@@Pooply21 How so? Personally I say it solidifies his redemption because it's him going back to a time of peace when he wasn't in a metal suit of pain and agony. I can see it both ways, don't get me wrong - I just like the consistency of it
Very similar in most aspects: 1) Episode III: Revenge of the Sith 2) Episode V: Empire Strikes Back 3) Rogue One 4) Episode VI: Return of the Jedi 5) Episode I: The Phantom Menace 6) Episode IV: A New Hope 7) Solo 8) Episode II: Attack of the Clones 9) Episode VII: The Force Awakens 10) Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker 11) Episode VIII: The Last Jedi
I have never hated the phantom menace. Every movie has parts you don’t like. Sure Jar Jar is annoying, but it had duel of the fates, you learn what life was like before, and you start to see the seeds planted for what will happen next. Plus I knew about the reveal in empire strikes back, so it was the first movie I truly ever watched all the way through to begin my Star Wars movie run so it is special to me for that.
1. Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back ( 10/10 ) 2. Episode 6: Return Of The Jedi ( 9.5/10 ) 3. Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith ( 9.25/10 ) 4. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ( 9/10 ) 5. Episode 4: A New Hope ( 8.5/10 ) 6. Episode 7: The Force Awakens ( 7/10 ) 7. Solo: A Star Wars Story ( 6/10 ) 8. Episode 9: The Rise Of Skywalker ( 5.25/10 ) 9. Episode 2: Attack Of The Clones ( 4.5/10 ) 10. Episode 8: The Last Jedi ( 4.5/10 ) 11. Episode 1: The Phantom Menace ( 4.25/10 ) 12. The Clone Wars Movie ( 3/10 )
When I was a kid and saw Hayden in episode 6 I thought wow they really did a good job at finding an actor in the prequels who looks exactly like the original guy
When i was a kid I was confused because I thought that Ben Kenobi was just Ewan McGregor but old, because I didn’t know that the originals were filmed before the prequels. 😐
When I saw the originals after I had watched the prequels as a kid, I was like “why do they have such a shitty quality” without realizing it was shot in the 70s and 80s, 16-20 years before the prequel Series
@@Scrunk194 ever heard of an opinion? The fact that you think it's not the best isn't an objective fact, it's an opinion. Stop just saying things to make it sound true. Jeez quarantines getting to me.
@Senior SEO Specialist I'm not calling you crazy, but genuinely would love to hear your major bullet points on what puts Phantom Menace above all of the original trilogy, let alone atop all of the prequels.
@Senior SEO Specialist It can't "set the tone for the whole saga" when 3 of the movies came out decades before it. ANH set the tone for the whole saga. The prequel trilogy as a whole did a good job of being creative with new worlds, aliens, and lore, but Phantom Menace as a film is just a mess. You should watch documentary on the making of it (it's free on UA-cam). It's really eye-opening and I think us much better than the actual movie itself. Plus it shows why it became such a trainwreck.
@Senior SEO Specialist Lol he may be a part of why TPM is bad, but there are MANY reasons why TPM is a really bad tragic mess of a movie. I still firmly believe Episode 1 should have started with Anakin being the age he is in episode 2 or around then and then have Episode 2 be smack dab in the middle of the Clone Wars itself.
@@darkknightniner9862 I think its an age thing, a lot or people say it was childish, well I was a child when it came out. Episode 1 is what started my love for star wars. While it maybe didn't set the tone for the franchise it certainly set the scene, one of the things I find so frustrating about episodes 4-9 (Dont hate them btw) is how vague and simplistic the explanations for everything is everything is (Palpitine somehow came back, endless supplies of doomsday machines etc). Episodes 1-3 put what's going on into context and that's super important to some people but I appreciate that its not so important to others. Also the lightsabre combat was cool as F*#@.
@@shaunreid6851 I was 7 when Episode 1 came out and I may have liked it at the time, but it didn't take me getting much older to realize how bad episode 1 and 2 are.
I feel like there has to be an equal appreciation for the franchise, as a whole. I'm personally not a big fan of 2 and 3, but I appreciate their place and significance to the series overall.
@@JK-Visions the final confrontation of return of the Jedi is my favorite half hour in the whole series. I just think it slogged along a bit before getting there.
yea tbh i really liked hayden being there since they always talk about or mention that darth vader "killed" his father, and that was the last we seen of anakin
@@heisenberg4659 The reason why old Anakin was ther first is because his final moments was him redeeming himself and becoming Anakin The Jedi one last time.
I love how he says "the original trilogy" and he is also talking of the prequels, Episode 1-6 feel like one story but 7,8, and 9 dont feel like part of the stroy, it feels like another thing that happened in the galaxy
@@quanvu4323 what does the company have anything to do with it? Season 7 filled in a ton of plot holes that RotS had left opened. Also you get to see the fear of Anakin losing Padme start, when Bo Katan bring up the relationship between Obi-Wan and Satine.
Memo Pin Rots didn’t “rely” on a tv show. The movie is good as it is even without the Clone Wars. The Clone Wars just made an already great movie even better.
Rouge one is one of my all time favorites just because I was a little kid when I first saw it so I kinda see it the same as you see revenge of the sith, even though it wasn’t as impactful on the story of Star Wars it was still a great backstory and background movie and it really got me into Star Wars
I’m here thinking how old are you, Rogue One just came out a few years ago, then I looked it up and it’s been 6 years. Man, time flies. I still remember going to see that in theatres, let’s just say that movie did what force awakens was supposed to do. It was an awesome movie, I bet it got lots of kids into Star Wars for sure.
@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 yeah it’s crazy to think it’s been 6 years since that movie came out and it only feels like it’s been a few years since that Vader hallway scene
One thing about episode 6 that I’ll always love is that Luke is wearing black throughout the entire movie and only when Vader is redeemed does the white show beneath
Yeah I’ve never understood the hate around the character. Liam Neeson did fantastically in the role and he subverts the expectations of what you would think of a Jedi in a great, non Rian Johnson way.
anomaly ma manly man, its good to see you, when you gonna do another revenge of the prequels video, i already see all of then ;-), i hope your chanell grow with the time, continue your job.
Yeah, speaking of the experience of seeing the original trilogy in the theater... I guess when Vader told Luke that he was his father, it was a mind blowing surprise reveal. And everyone was shocked. Kinda weird to think about for most, since it's one of the most famous lines in movie history. Many people hear the line before they watch the movie. I know I did.
Yeah nobody saw it coming, not even most of the actors in the film, it was so secret that during the original filming of that scene, Vader actually said “Obi-Wan killed your father” (which to be fair would also be very shocking)
I didn’t grow up watching Star Wars and only got into it the past few months, but Revenge of the Sith is one of my all time favorite movies now. Anakin’s story arc made him one of my favorite characters of all time too. Everyone is hard on him cause he’s the chosen one. All he wants to do is good, but he’s emotionally messed up because of the hardships he had growing up and the dogmatic ways of the Jedi. When he has the vision of Padme dying, he can’t even tell anyone cause of the Jedi code. Sheev was the only one “trying” to save his wife even if it for his own selfish ways. Anakin saw no other choice but to turn and save Padme. It’s far from a perfect movie, but it’s a damn good one with some great moments. Glad he appreciates it too!
If you think episode 3 is good from just watching the movies, go watch all of the Clone Wars TV series. It makes episode 3 SO gut wrenching. The first season or two are a bit of a drag at times, but it’s worth it.
I agree with all your points. I enjoyed ROTS and Anakin's reason for turning although I felt it was a bit rushed in the movie. That said, I've been watching since a young kid in the 80's so I always considered Empire to be my favorite. I tend to go back and forth between Empire & ANH but why I lean more towards Empire is the fact all the characters have been introduced already and I like that there is a history there. Also, I love listening to soundtracks and well, you can't go wrong with John Williams especially with scores like Yoda's theme and the Imperial March. So iconic!
Sithex always heard great things about the first 6 movies, but none of my friends or family really loved/watched them. I saw Force Awakens and The Last Jedi when they came out, but didn’t really love them (mainly didn’t understand parts cause of not seeing the other movies/appreciate the old characters coming back). Also didn’t have a great way of watching the movies. It wasn’t until Disney Plus came out and I started watching The Mandalorian that I started to really get into Star Wars (so really only like a month and a half).
I mean episode 3 is my second favorite but yes this movie is a master piece, 1. The Clone Wars Tv Show 2. The Force Awakens= The Rise of Skywalker 3. The Mandalorian 4. Revenge of the Sith= The Empire Strikes Back 5. Return of The Jedi= The Last Jedi 6. Rebels 7. A New Hope 8. Attack of The Clones 9. Rogue One 10. The Phantom Menace 11. Solo And yes, I do rank force Awakens and rise of skywalker above revenge of the Sith and empire, I enjoy the films a lot more, but objectively speaking revenge of the Sith is a better film, I just enjoy force Awakens a lot more.
@Spider-Venom alright so you have never seen the movies so you dont know the community around starwars 99% of the people hate the moveis so piss off lmao
I think the point of the first six movies were to anakin and luke bring balance to the force an destroy the sith(the last of them palpatine) so he must've stayed dead [kylo and snoke were just darksiders]
What? Palpatine died in return of the Jedi. Why are you asking like he returned? And in the last Star wars movie, clone wars movie (2008) palpatine was alive but it's in the prequel era. I don't understand what are you talking
I think Rogue one is extremely underrated. It puts the “war” and “Star Wars.” It really was a war movie. It showed the sacrifices you have to make in war and it felt different in a good way for me. They gave us likable characters and had a sad yet also hopeful ending. Edit: I know is cringe and I’m sorry but this is a miracle. My most liked comment is a super opinionated statement that also disagrees with the guy in the video. That’s insane. Thanks.
Fax bro it was a great movie I hate 7-9 with a burning passion(more than I should. But I respect rouge one and solo they were great. The only reason I dislike 7-9 isn’t because they weren’t good movies but rather how they messed with 1-6 and the canon beforehand. Like when palpatine came back completely diminishing anikans sacrifice
Jamari Davis also with the empire coming back as the first order and the territorial and economic de facto power in the galaxy(new republic) being the underdog AGAIN despite the rebels having killed the empire in the originals and should now be dominant... tf? Also hehe death star 3 and planet kill spaceships
Honestly I think rogue one is overrated really only the last 45 min are good and the characters aren’t that developed so I don’t feel for them when they die and for a prequel it relies to much on you seeing the other movies
It’s not underrated lol. Literally everyone in this comment section is saying they like it. For it to be underrated people would first have to dislike it.
I don't think it's underrated Not that I don't like it or anything I love that movie it's my second favorite, it's just that most people I've seen have revenge of the sith as their favorite
@@telvanniis it is gigantically underrated. Many people to this day dislike the prequels because they're still in denial, but some people like us have moved on from that and realized how good they actually were thanks to the sequel trilogy. Also just so you know, underrated doesn't mean it doesnt get love from fans, it quite literally means it deserves more. The comment section in this youtube video is not every single SW fan too.
nothing compared to Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga released for the Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo DS on the 6th November 2007
@@LolbeeSFM You can't compare the two... completely different character and story. Anakin turns good: Dies Ben turns good: Dies They both did terrible things that can never be forgiven. Their deaths almost 'redeems' them.
I have a few ties, I just can’t decide with them: 1. Return of the Jedi/Revenge of the Sith/Empire Strikes Back 2. New Hope/Rogue One 3. Phantom Menace/Attack of the Clones And those are the ones I totally love. The rest I despise. 4. Solo 5. Force Awakens 6. Last JedI/Rise of Skywalker
My list: 1. Holiday Special 2. Caravan of Courage 3. The Clone Wars 4. Battle for Endor (close tie with The Clone Wars) I haven't seen the ones you mentioned.
My favorites are definitely Episodes 1-6. I’m also a huge Prequel fan. Hard to put them in order. Empire Strikes Back and Attack of the Clones are usually my top two (Jango is probably my favorite Star Wars character also Han) Episode I has so much nostalgia for me as a kid being excited for the new (at the time) Star Wars movie. I also think it gets too much hate. As far as the Disney movies go. I’m sorry they are mostly trash. Rogue One was good and Solo was decent (want to see crimson dawn play out) Episode VII was ok-ish The other two are equally as horrible with bad character development and confusing ends that have endless unanswered questions. They did nothing worth while with Finn’s character, Rey was just so good at the force with zero training, Kylo had potential to be a true bad ass and turned into a pussy, and the rest of it was filled with blue check mark SJW crap. You can tell Rose Tico was tossed in just because “we need an Asian”. And Laura Derns purple hair made me want to puke. Not to mention they completely made Anakin’s character arc virtually useless. The Mandalorian was pretty darn good (not happy about the Way they did Gina) The book of Boba Fett had high hopes but is starting to slip with some cringy stuff, but is still not too bad. The Clone Wars series was fantastic! Rebels wasn’t too far behind, but cringy at times.
Phantom Menace is criminally underrated. It's the story of an adoptive father betting everything in his world on the success of his son. The people closest to Anakin would be Padme and Obi-Wan, but neither of them believed they should bet their entire mission on Anakin at the pod race. Qui-Gon did, and he would've sacrificed his career to give the boy the opportunity to become his best self.

Anakin turning to the dark side is the best thing that has happend to star wars, so ofcourse its the best movie! The only film that can surpass it ever would be a Solo Dark vader movie.

Bad CGI and some other flaws. But has the best lightsaber fight and the Pod race. #6: Attack of the Clones. Absolute horrible dialogue between Anakin and Padme.

One of my teachers at school was the biggest star wars nerd ever, I considered myself to be a star wars nut but this man literally knew EVERYTHING. I asked him this question and because hes a boomer and an original trilogy man I expected to get a reply along the lines of, "I love the originals, but apart from the originals they are all average". To my suprise the wise man himself replied swiftly with.... Rogue One!!! I was bamboozled and asked him why? He went on to explain that Revenge of the sith is undebatably the most cinematically brilliant and beautiful movie and the originals were also his favourite, but he said that Rogue one was a brilliant story but also gave such amazing info on all of the films and tied so much together which he loved, he said he grew so much love for the other films because of Rogue one and thats why it is his favourite. A very interesting theory and a great opinion if I say so myself.
Will Helmrich My supervisor is a huge star wars fan and in his late 60s and he said that Rouge one was his favorite followed by last jedi. I told him he is the only person i know who likes last jedi haha
The best thing about Revenge of the Sith is that even if you know how it ends you always hope that Anakin doesn't turn to the dark side and that order 66 doesn't happen. That Palpatine gets killed by Yoda. But then you arrive at those moments and your mind is blown up by the simple vision of those scenes for how dark they are. This happens everytime, at least for me.
A new hope is the worst of the original trilogy. Its plot is unoriginal and it has some cheesy dialogue with substandard acting at times. It also has some plot points that either don't make sense, conflict with other, or are just dumb.
@@joshmundy895 Well what you call unoriginal and cliche was pretty much invented in the first Star Wars. The way we view ANH now didn't happen in 1977. I would say it was probably the greatest movie of its time. That's why I believe movies are best viewed considering the mindset of the time it was released in. With modern day standards it's just harder to appreciate older movies because we've seen it all. I'd say episode 6 is the worst of the original trilogy for exactly your reasons.. It's unoriginal. Another Deathstar..; Empire's "legion of best soldier" defeated by Ewoks.. The movie was only saved by Luke's and Anakin's redemption.
Absolutely amazing video! My ranking only differs in that I would put episode 7 above 9. Love the channel, just came back after a few years of being more into marvel. Star Wars for life!
So he was directed to deliver his lines somewhat similar to James Earl Jones, so they would have some semblance to Vader's voice. I think that's why a lot of it came across as clunky
My list (best to worst): 1. Revenge of the Sith 2. Return of the Jedi 3. The Empire Strikes Back 4. Attack of the Clones 5. A New Hope 6. The Phantom Menace 7. The Force Awakens 8. The Last Jedi 9. The Rise of Skywalker
Rogue One is one of the best Star Wars movies. It was great. I also think Revenge of the Sith is the best, it's seriously underrated, as is the prequel series in general.
@Fish Boy It's great. Krannick is by far the most intriguing new villain. Great world building. Expanding the SW without destroying it. Fun action scenes. We see the Empire at their peak and they impose an actual threat. It's a good SW movie.
Revenge of the Sith is my favorite, the more you watch it, the more you appreciate Hayden's adaptation and evolution ofAnakin/Vader. You also have to appreciate how subtly Anakin was filmed, you l look closely and he was darkened, or in the shadows in pivotal parts of the film, not to mention his black 'independent Jedi' robe quietly screams dark side. The movie is also just relentless in iconic and cinematic moments from the opening beautiful space battle, the fight with Dooku, the Opera scene, the Grievous fight, the depressing Order 66 montage, Anakin killing Mace Windu defending Palps and FINALLY giving into the dark side, the battle of the two most powerful weilders of the force (Yoda/Palpatine), and of course the Duel on Mustafar, beautifully choreographed and horribly depressing. This movie itself really allows you to put yourself in the shoes of Vader by empathizing his hatred and anger with nobody, but himself. He's not just a senseless monster, his fall to the dark side was gradual and methodically told by Lucas and his team I love this movie
I love the switching between the mustafar duel and the duel in the senate, and the fact that Palpatine is just laughing and having fun because he knows that he has already won. Ian, Hayden, Ewan and Natalie did an amazing job in this film, I love it so much. By far my favorite movie ever
N_JAMES Oh I love the movie but I think the story is meh. They decided to include like 10 new characters and none of them really get any sort of development. K2SO is really what gets me going through the first two acts because he’s hilarious and I think it’s a very slow crawl to get to the final battle, which is one of the best in Star Wars. And that Darth Vader scene is perfect. But all in all, the best stuff from that movie comes from old references and not anything new. I don’t know if it stands up to Revenge of the Sith as the best prequel movie, but it’s certainly the best movie Disney has created. Then again that’s not a high standard.
1. Episode 3 2. Episode 6 3. Episode 5 4. Episode 4 5. Episode 1 6. Episode 2 7. Rogue One 8. Solo 9. Episode 9 10. Episode 7 11. Episode 8 Reason why. Anakin is my all time favorite character in any franchise obi wan and Luke and I hated how they strayed from legends. Like they literally had to follow that story line how Luke made a better Jedi order but no
hmm rots was but the first two were just bad. People like them more because of the clone wars which is an amazing show but makes people like the first two prequels more
Harrison Ellis just our opinion, opinions can’t be wrong, I just loved the world building and felt connection to the characters. Also, I felt emotions in the prequels that I didn’t in any other trilogy.
I personally hate it. It makes no sense for him to appear that way, when Obi Wan looks how he did when he died, and Luke wouldn’t recognize young Anakin, unlike in the original version where Sebastian Shaw looks the way Vader did without the mask
matt55800 dude I’m pretty sure it’s because that was anakin as a Jedi so when he redeemed himself and died it brought him back to his pure good form as a ghost
Steven Knight on top of that you have people that hate the sequels for no reason at all.The only reason I keep seeing is because Disney supposedly ruined the Star Wars legacy.
@@RebirthOG For me personally, ROTS had a much darker tone and was the first different Star Wars Movie since the bad guys won. Last Jedi was meh for me. Didnt really add anything new. Liked Rey and Finn but the plot in the new movies were subpar. I didnt like the prequels either except for Revenge of the Sith. If they wanted to make a "new" Star Wars Movie, they would have a nonhuman protagonist. That would be good. But thats only my opinion of it and I respect yours of course as well:) PS: I can completely see that you could say that the bad guys "won" in Empire Strikes Back and Force Awakens, but it didnt have the same feeling ( for me) as the ROTS have, due to the famous Order 66.
The Force Awakens and Fall of Skywalkers are trash. Last Jedi has bad monents, but it's not as offensive as Ep7. We have three bad Star Wars movies now.
He's kinda right, it's always a happy ending. That's just the same. I think Star Wars should have both sides win in different ways. Like either side wins but it comes at a price like sacrafice. ROTS and RO r in my top favorites.
1. Revenge of the Sith 2. Return of the Jedi 3. A new hope 4. Attack of the Clones 5. Empire strikes back 6. Phantom menace [Big gap] 7. Last jedi 8. Rogue 1 9. Solo [Bigger gap] 10. Force awakens 11.Rise of skywalker
Rogue 1 is only good for krennic and the 2 vader scenes, the other characters are pretty insignificant and arent given the chance to show up again so you dont even really care about them

@@jacobplourde2388 i havent seen any other of his movies, but he was terrible in Star Wars. He probably got castet in other movies because he got famous out of Star Wars and maybe improved
I love revenge of the sith, it’s a really good film and I have to admit, I would watch it more that the empire strikes back but the empire strikes back has such a special place in my heart and the flaws of revenge of the sith always get overlooked, I think the empire strikes back is insane and Luke’s plot of thinking he’s good enough to face Vader but then miserably failing is really good. The film is a cinematic classic and I think it’s easily the best and my favourite.
@@zachbrix2170 its called Character Development, Luke wasn't always going to be the same as he was at the end of Return of the Jedi, he's lived 40 whole years since then.
How about this. The moment Rey handed Luke his Lightsaber would have been a satisfying moment. Luke throwing his lightsaber was the same as Rian Johnson throwing out what had been built up over the past 40 years
ZachBrix Luke explained why he abandoned the Jedi. That’s why he threw the lightsaber. You are taking this way too personally like Rian is actively trying to ruin Star Wars. Besides, how would it be satisfying? It isn’t like it’s gunna be a “Woah! Can you believe that, he picked it up! What an epic moment!” At the very beginning of the movie.
Me: *Thinks ROTS would be a little lower on the list despite it being my favourite of the franchise.* SWT: *Puts ROTS as his #1.* Me: *Tears of joy* "You are strong and wise, Star Wars Theory, and I am very proud of you."
I trust you that it was good. . . . all I know is my own experience, which was seeing it in the theater, which included sleeping through about two thirds of the movie, coming in and out, and then fully waking up at the dumb vader scene at the end. . . . it is all very vague in my memory. but this is my flawed way of judging movies. . .. if I sleep through most of it, then fuck that movie. I also hate the batman movie with heath ledger for the same reason. . . . it should not be difficult for me to stay awake through a good movie. I definitely slept through most of that batman movie that everyone loves. . . . but now that im thinking of it and trying to remember the movie. . . . it is sort of baffling to me that people like it so much. I remember waking up at one point and there was a weird robot looking villain surfing on lava. . . . did I dream that? or was it really that dumb. . . . cuz I remember waking up and then consciously deciding to go back to sleep at that point, cuz the lava just felt like i'd rather be sleeping now, then playing lava monster like i'm still five years old. so I chose to sleep, at the lava scene. it seemed like a better use of my time.
Sheesh I'm happy AF that other people agree that ROTS is one of the best SW movies ever. It's my personal favorite. Episode V is a close contender but I personally favor ROTS over ROTJ undoubtedly.

I really enjoy the original trilogy alot. The prequels I enjoy way more than the sequels. The sequels for me are really disappointing. I did like the 2 spin off films though. Those make more sense than the sequels which I feel contradict the movies. I dont consider than sequels canon but fan Fiction. For starters they contradict Vader being the chosen 1 to bring balance to the force accomplished ep 6. Now your saying that doesnt matter anymore and now have all these new characters 30 years later with no full explanation on what happened. My other 2 biggest problems with the sequels is
1. I dont like any of the new characters
2. There is way many questions left unanswered all 3 movies. When I saw the prequels and original trilogy I didnt have tons of questions being confused on stuff left unanswered.
Theres so many children or people who arent old enough too see RotJ in theatres love Sith because its the first not bad star wars movie they saw live. Many also like the dark aspect, although I hardly cared for Anakins character ark because he's an unlikeble dick and a failure up until he saves Lukes ass.
Revenge of the Sith so beloved and its problems are so casually overlooked that its gotten too be overrated.
@@joebuck4957 I dont get why so many hate on the prequels and love the sequels better. The prequels are not perfect, well the 1st and 2nd have some boring moments with the court room stuff. But the action, jedi battles, and main heros and villians are far more interesting and entertaining to watch vs the sequels in my opinion.
So many great epic fights, wars and battles in ep1, 2, and 3. The same cant be said for the sequels.
Now let's compare the main hero and villians each films.
Obi Wan overall is the main hero of the 3 but we also have qui gon, anakin sort of gray until he turns bad ep 3. Yoda, and Mace plus the rest of the jedi council.
Than for villians it's mainly Darth sidious but there is also darth maul, count dokku, and general Grievous.
In sequels we have rey poe and finn. And for villians hux, Snoke, and kylo ren.
In my opinion these new characters are way worse than the ones I mention in the prequels.
@@oliverqueen9886 the biggest and only problem with the pres was Lucas was the director and main screenwriter. He created this universe give him credit but he should of handed out the directing and screenwriter dutys too real pros like he did in empire and Return
Actually if Watto accepted republic credits there would be no Star Wars.
What's up chicken noodle, watto is the reason star Wars exist. I'll sign your petition
if he accepted credits it would be because tatooine would be part of the republic, therefore Anakin wouldn't have been a slave and would be somewhere else
It'll go from credits to credits, get it? Okay that was bad.
Just a Dancing Hotdog lol
???
Revenge of the with was always my favourite. I just loved the way Anakin’s life got ruined in days and all the drama surrounding that. It was also really cool to see how he turned to the dark side!
Yeah I rewatched it the other day and the way the Jedi council treated him was a big deciding factor on why he turned to the dark side.
@@Nate-Turner23 Not only that, but the whole ball started rolling in The Phantom Menace when Qui Gon died during the duel of the fates. The first and most impactful duel of the fates, for Anakin's fate and all those he would later go on to harm or destroy. That's why I appreciate Anakin's attitude in Attack of the Clones. It wasn't like he was "whiny" for no reason, he had nobody to confide in except Padme and the dark lord of the sith himself. The Jedi constantly pressured him to avoid attachment.
Absolutely it was my favorite ever since I watched it when I was thirteen
A with lord?
@@Nate-Turner23 Frankly, the biggest was Ahsoka leaving. The Jedi, maybe not the Council specifically, but many Jedi, some on the Council, tried to help him. But he didn't trust them, because all of them, save for Plo Koon, voted against Ahsoka, and betrayed his trust. And so, he barely trusted them, let alone listened to them. Plus, Ahsoka wasn't there to help him.

Bournefort cuz Star Wars theory is a REAL Star Wars fan . He just loves Star Wars altogether and the Star Wars universe and the prequels show the universe the most
Because the prequels are the richest era in terms of story and world building
Can’t someone’s honest opinion be that the prequels aren’t good? The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
Lol the sequels being "bad" doesnt magically make the prequels good. Prequels are still bad. I'll take any of the sequels over any prequel movie, but I personally dont mind the prequels. I can watch any of them and still enjoy myself. The problem is people feel the need to bash down either a sequel/prequel movie in order to lift the other and thats just ridiculous and not the case. I strongly believe you can find joy in any episode from 1-9. And I like TLJ, clearly there is good in TLJ as well
K5 being a REAL Star Wars fan doesn’t mean you have to like the prequels
Episode 5 was my favorite as a kid until Episode 3!
Revenge of the Sith is my absolute favorite. Anakin's confusion and turmoil, the action, epic intro, Mustafar lightsaber battle, epic lines! "Hello there"; "I hate you", the parallel scene between Padme giving birth and Vader's operation was brilliant. The ending was a perfect transition to the next trilogy.

I watched Return of the Jedi as a 10 year old child in the movie theater. It was one of the memorable movies experiences that I ever experienced. The scene when Palpatine was shocking Luke with the force lightning was intense. And then when Vader picked up the Emperor to save his son the whole theater erupted in cheers.
my all time favorite star wars scene. So good.
I was 13 when return of the Jedi came out. I saw it three times in the theaters this was before we had VHS tapes and could rewatch it multiple times at home. If you wanted to see it again, you paid to go. And every time I watch this movie I was literally on the edge of my seat the last 30 minutes. To see the three conflicts constantly interchanging on the screen. Knowing that they were deciding the fate of the galaxy for centuries to come. Would evil win against good. With the death Star take out the rebel fleet. Would our heroes on the moon be overwhelmed and wiped out? Who knew. And the emperor's cackling baiting evil voice narrating the whole thing Made your blood boil. When Luke is being tortured to death you felt yourself cringing as if you were being struck with lightning. And when Darth Vader suddenly changes, grabs the emperor and throws into his death you felt this great release. All this tension built up over three movies and almost 10 years meant that good definitely triumphed over evil in the end. It was a wonderful fairy tale to grow up with. I don't think anything that's come after has captured that magic.
The best SW movie in my opinion.
Amen.If you can see past ewoks,it had best script,acting,epic world building
I personally think that "Lego Star Wars the complete saga" is the best Star Wars movie.
Hell yeah

I remember as a kid getting Darth Maul's saber. My neighbor had Qui Gon Jinn's. We literally would saber fight for weeks after school....and then 1 day my Darth maul saber snapped in half play fighting...I wasn't angry...I literally thought "WOW IT"S JUST LIKE THE MOVIE!!!!"

@Gregory Thomas ... I will give the og commenter a little whole to respond

This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them

The prequels might have had some bad dialogue, but the world building, lore, and characters, ship design, etc. were all great.
Most importantly the light saber duels, they were taken to the next level
@@GMPranav because they actually rehearsed with a trained martial artist (Ray Park) and didn’t just flop a lightsaber around lifelessly. It felt like they were REALLY trying to hit each other, which made it look more realistic and better IMO.
Remember, the first trilogies dialogue was clunky too but we got invested because of the world building and the characters. The prequels did this as well but definitely focused more on world building and lore than character. If you look past it all and see that the prequels and original trilogy are fundamentally different but the same, the prequels can be quite enjoyable.
@@thewalkingcontrarian257 In fact the prequels are more enjoyable. The originals are more classy but feel a bit like documentaries in some parts. The prequels' scenes either were straight up were interesting or were pure memes. So either way they were enjoyable.
@@shakinspider havent seen a single episode of that show (I do intend to at some point), but I still like the prequels more.

Rogue One hella underrated
Totally agree g
The action I can definitely agree with. Rogue One arguably has some of the best action scenes in the final act....... but the characters are so so unmemorable.

i agree 100%
@@darkknightniner9862 for me, in a weird way, that’s part of what makes it good. There are so many characters that band together to make the ultimate sacrifice, that it’s more so the act itself that is remembered rather than the people behind it. Idk if that makes sense but I don’t fault the movie so much for it
I know George got a lot of backlash about putting Hayden as a replacement of the original actor for Return of the Jedi.
But I thought it was sentimental and represented a symbol of; Anakin going back to a time when he WAS Anakin. He died when he became Darth Vader, like Obiwan said. I really enjoyed that change
I like that two, it's so intensive to my heart (in a good way).
I never saw a logistical problem with Hayden appearing in ROTJ. Originally, Vader died and his spirit cast off his cybernetics, repaired the appearance of his damaged flesh, gave him hair and Jedi robes... so why not return him to his ‘purer’ young Jedi form?
People say It's bad because Luke doesn't realise that Hayden is his father, but how could he reailse that with the other actor?
I think it negates his redemption
@@Pooply21 How so? Personally I say it solidifies his redemption because it's him going back to a time of peace when he wasn't in a metal suit of pain and agony. I can see it both ways, don't get me wrong - I just like the consistency of it

@Senior SEO Specialist I'm not calling you crazy, but genuinely would love to hear your major bullet points on what puts Phantom Menace above all of the original trilogy, let alone atop all of the prequels.
@Senior SEO Specialist It can't "set the tone for the whole saga" when 3 of the movies came out decades before it. ANH set the tone for the whole saga. The prequel trilogy as a whole did a good job of being creative with new worlds, aliens, and lore, but Phantom Menace as a film is just a mess. You should watch documentary on the making of it (it's free on UA-cam). It's really eye-opening and I think us much better than the actual movie itself. Plus it shows why it became such a trainwreck.
@Senior SEO Specialist Lol he may be a part of why TPM is bad, but there are MANY reasons why TPM is a really bad tragic mess of a movie. I still firmly believe Episode 1 should have started with Anakin being the age he is in episode 2 or around then and then have Episode 2 be smack dab in the middle of the Clone Wars itself.
@@darkknightniner9862 I think its an age thing, a lot or people say it was childish, well I was a child when it came out. Episode 1 is what started my love for star wars. While it maybe didn't set the tone for the franchise it certainly set the scene, one of the things I find so frustrating about episodes 4-9 (Dont hate them btw) is how vague and simplistic the explanations for everything is everything is (Palpitine somehow came back, endless supplies of doomsday machines etc). Episodes 1-3 put what's going on into context and that's super important to some people but I appreciate that its not so important to others.
Also the lightsabre combat was cool as F*#@.
@@shaunreid6851 I was 7 when Episode 1 came out and I may have liked it at the time, but it didn't take me getting much older to realize how bad episode 1 and 2 are.
It’s very interesting to see someone’s opinion who likes the prequels and originals equally
I like them both equally, I don't like the phantom menace as much but I like 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 equally.
I feel like there has to be an equal appreciation for the franchise, as a whole. I'm personally not a big fan of 2 and 3, but I appreciate their place and significance to the series overall.
We can all agree that Original Trilogy and prequel trilogy were amazing. Fuck the sequels
Wade Gilmore Nope, the prequels were definitely far from amazing. They were compotent but I wouldn’t rank them near the OT
@@wadegilmore6943 yes except for a few parts in the rise of Skywalker
As a film fan, empire strikes back is the best. As a Star Wars fan, revenge of the sith is the best.

It's sad the best prequel relies on a tv show
Memo Pin Rots didn’t “rely” on a tv show. The movie is good as it is even without the Clone Wars. The Clone Wars just made an already great movie even better.
Rouge one is one of my all time favorites just because I was a little kid when I first saw it so I kinda see it the same as you see revenge of the sith, even though it wasn’t as impactful on the story of Star Wars it was still a great backstory and background movie and it really got me into Star Wars
See Rouge One in 3D blu-ray if you ever get the chance! The first test of the Death Star has amazing 3D effects!!!!
I’m here thinking how old are you, Rogue One just came out a few years ago, then I looked it up and it’s been 6 years. Man, time flies. I still remember going to see that in theatres, let’s just say that movie did what force awakens was supposed to do. It was an awesome movie, I bet it got lots of kids into Star Wars for sure.

anomaly ma manly man, its good to see you, when you gonna do another revenge of the prequels video, i already see all of then ;-), i hope your chanell grow with the time, continue your job.
But I’m still waiting!
He... is, the chosen one...
Yeah, speaking of the experience of seeing the original trilogy in the theater...
I guess when Vader told Luke that he was his father, it was a mind blowing surprise reveal. And everyone was shocked.
Kinda weird to think about for most, since it's one of the most famous lines in movie history.
Many people hear the line before they watch the movie. I know I did.
Yeah nobody saw it coming, not even most of the actors in the film, it was so secret that during the original filming of that scene, Vader actually said “Obi-Wan killed your father” (which to be fair would also be very shocking)
I didn’t grow up watching Star Wars and only got into it the past few months, but Revenge of the Sith is one of my all time favorite movies now. Anakin’s story arc made him one of my favorite characters of all time too. Everyone is hard on him cause he’s the chosen one. All he wants to do is good, but he’s emotionally messed up because of the hardships he had growing up and the dogmatic ways of the Jedi. When he has the vision of Padme dying, he can’t even tell anyone cause of the Jedi code. Sheev was the only one “trying” to save his wife even if it for his own selfish ways. Anakin saw no other choice but to turn and save Padme. It’s far from a perfect movie, but it’s a damn good one with some great moments. Glad he appreciates it too!
If you think episode 3 is good from just watching the movies, go watch all of the Clone Wars TV series. It makes episode 3 SO gut wrenching. The first season or two are a bit of a drag at times, but it’s worth it.
I agree with all your points. I enjoyed ROTS and Anakin's reason for turning although I felt it was a bit rushed in the movie. That said, I've been watching since a young kid in the 80's so I always considered Empire to be my favorite. I tend to go back and forth between Empire & ANH but why I lean more towards Empire is the fact all the characters have been introduced already and I like that there is a history there. Also, I love listening to soundtracks and well, you can't go wrong with John Williams especially with scores like Yoda's theme and the Imperial March. So iconic!
Interesting, can I ask what age demographic you are for the sake of curiosity and scientific purposes.

Sithex always heard great things about the first 6 movies, but none of my friends or family really loved/watched them. I saw Force Awakens and The Last Jedi when they came out, but didn’t really love them (mainly didn’t understand parts cause of not seeing the other movies/appreciate the old characters coming back). Also didn’t have a great way of watching the movies. It wasn’t until Disney Plus came out and I started watching The Mandalorian that I started to really get into Star Wars (so really only like a month and a half).

@@Thrinch EXCACTLY
What? Palpatine died in return of the Jedi. Why are you asking like he returned? And in the last Star wars movie, clone wars movie (2008) palpatine was alive but it's in the prequel era. I don't understand what are you talking
I think Rogue one is extremely underrated. It puts the “war” and “Star Wars.” It really was a war movie. It showed the sacrifices you have to make in war and it felt different in a good way for me. They gave us likable characters and had a sad yet also hopeful ending.
Edit: I know is cringe and I’m sorry but this is a miracle. My most liked comment is a super opinionated statement that also disagrees with the guy in the video. That’s insane. Thanks.
Fax bro it was a great movie I hate 7-9 with a burning passion(more than I should. But I respect rouge one and solo they were great. The only reason I dislike 7-9 isn’t because they weren’t good movies but rather how they messed with 1-6 and the canon beforehand. Like when palpatine came back completely diminishing anikans sacrifice

Yes, Rogue one is amazing, starts up the first three movies perfectly, big shock when the entire group of main characters die. Great movie
Honestly I think rogue one is overrated really only the last 45 min are good and the characters aren’t that developed so I don’t feel for them when they die and for a prequel it relies to much on you seeing the other movies
Def underrated for the characters and slightly the story
Revenge of The Sith is very underrated. Glad to see someone appreciating it!

It depends on the community. There are many places where if you say any of the prequel movies are good, ROTS included, you'll get crucified
@@telvanniis it is gigantically underrated. Many people to this day dislike the prequels because they're still in denial, but some people like us have moved on from that and realized how good they actually were thanks to the sequel trilogy.

My favorites are definitely Episodes 1-6. I’m also a huge Prequel fan. Hard to put them in order. Empire Strikes Back and Attack of the Clones are usually my top two (Jango is probably my favorite Star Wars character also Han) Episode I has so much nostalgia for me as a kid being excited for the new (at the time) Star Wars movie. I also think it gets too much hate.
As far as the Disney movies go. I’m sorry they are mostly trash.
Rogue One was good and Solo was decent (want to see crimson dawn play out)
Episode VII was ok-ish
The other two are equally as horrible with bad character development and confusing ends that have endless unanswered questions.
They did nothing worth while with Finn’s character, Rey was just so good at the force with zero training, Kylo had potential to be a true bad ass and turned into a pussy, and the rest of it was filled with blue check mark SJW crap. You can tell Rose Tico was tossed in just because “we need an Asian”. And Laura Derns purple hair made me want to puke. Not to mention they completely made Anakin’s character arc virtually useless.
The Mandalorian was pretty darn good (not happy about the Way they did Gina)
The book of Boba Fett had high hopes but is starting to slip with some cringy stuff, but is still not too bad.
The Clone Wars series was fantastic!
Rebels wasn’t too far behind, but cringy at times.
Phantom Menace is criminally underrated. It's the story of an adoptive father betting everything in his world on the success of his son. The people closest to Anakin would be Padme and Obi-Wan, but neither of them believed they should bet their entire mission on Anakin at the pod race. Qui-Gon did, and he would've sacrificed his career to give the boy the opportunity to become his best self.

To my suprise the wise man himself replied swiftly with.... Rogue One!!! I was bamboozled and asked him why? He went on to explain that Revenge of the sith is undebatably the most cinematically brilliant and beautiful movie and the originals were also his favourite, but he said that Rogue one was a brilliant story but also gave such amazing info on all of the films and tied so much together which he loved, he said he grew so much love for the other films because of Rogue one and thats why it is his favourite.

@@joshmundy895 Well what you call unoriginal and cliche was pretty much invented in the first Star Wars. The way we view ANH now didn't happen in 1977. I would say it was probably the greatest movie of its time. That's why I believe movies are best viewed considering the mindset of the time it was released in. With modern day standards it's just harder to appreciate older movies because we've seen it all.
I'd say episode 6 is the worst of the original trilogy for exactly your reasons.. It's unoriginal. Another Deathstar..; Empire's "legion of best soldier" defeated by Ewoks.. The movie was only saved by Luke's and Anakin's redemption.

@@thecaynuck4694 the 1st and 2nd just suck. the action in ROTS is what saved it
@Fish Boy It's great. Krannick is by far the most intriguing new villain. Great world building. Expanding the SW without destroying it. Fun action scenes. We see the Empire at their peak and they impose an actual threat. It's a good SW movie.
Revenge of the Sith is my favorite, the more you watch it, the more you appreciate Hayden's adaptation and evolution ofAnakin/Vader. You also have to appreciate how subtly Anakin was filmed, you l look closely and he was darkened, or in the shadows in pivotal parts of the film, not to mention his black 'independent Jedi' robe quietly screams dark side. The movie is also just relentless in iconic and cinematic moments from the opening beautiful space battle, the fight with Dooku, the Opera scene, the Grievous fight, the depressing Order 66 montage, Anakin killing Mace Windu defending Palps and FINALLY giving into the dark side, the battle of the two most powerful weilders of the force (Yoda/Palpatine), and of course the Duel on Mustafar, beautifully choreographed and horribly depressing. This movie itself really allows you to put yourself in the shoes of Vader by empathizing his hatred and anger with nobody, but himself. He's not just a senseless monster, his fall to the dark side was gradual and methodically told by Lucas and his team I love this movie
Palpatine was at his absolute best in Revenge Of The Sith
Couldn't agree more with you both!
Beautifully said! I'm glad this comment hasn't been hated on yet
Jeremiah Gary indeed
I love the switching between the mustafar duel and the duel in the senate, and the fact that Palpatine is just laughing and having fun because he knows that he has already won. Ian, Hayden, Ewan and Natalie did an amazing job in this film, I love it so much. By far my favorite movie ever
Rogue One is so underrated
The movie reminded me why I should be fearful of Vader again😂 with the slaughtering of all those rebels
I think the scene when he turns on his lightsaber is incredible, it actually gave me chills. That was how the sequels should have been written.
ITS MY #2!
Yeah but what about the other 2 hours of movie?
i hope they make a darth vader spinoff and they just do way more of him just slaughtering enemies
N_JAMES Oh I love the movie but I think the story is meh. They decided to include like 10 new characters and none of them really get any sort of development. K2SO is really what gets me going through the first two acts because he’s hilarious and I think it’s a very slow crawl to get to the final battle, which is one of the best in Star Wars. And that Darth Vader scene is perfect. But all in all, the best stuff from that movie comes from old references and not anything new. I don’t know if it stands up to Revenge of the Sith as the best prequel movie, but it’s certainly the best movie Disney has created. Then again that’s not a high standard.

Reason why. Anakin is my all time favorite character in any franchise obi wan and Luke and I hated how they strayed from legends. Like they literally had to follow that story line how Luke made a better Jedi order but no
Disney Star Wars don’t count
@@Funboi68 it’s my list guy not yours
Gotta say it: the prequels are FANTASTIC. All the world building, the expansion of the Jedi and how they worked....all so great!
Yep, right on
hmm rots was but the first two were just bad. People like them more because of the clone wars which is an amazing show but makes people like the first two prequels more
Harrison Ellis just our opinion, opinions can’t be wrong, I just loved the world building and felt connection to the characters. Also, I felt emotions in the prequels that I didn’t in any other trilogy.
John Waldner I know I was just stating mine
Hahaha! Very funny man! Nice joke! You were joking right...
I get chills when I see Hayden Christensen in Return of the Jedi
I personally hate it. It makes no sense for him to appear that way, when Obi Wan looks how he did when he died, and Luke wouldn’t recognize young Anakin, unlike in the original version where Sebastian Shaw looks the way Vader did without the mask
matt55800. Well regardless it’s symbolic
matt55800 bro they have describe young anakin to Luke a bunch of times and they showed as how he was when he was a full on Jedi so for me it’s cool
matt55800 dude I’m pretty sure it’s because that was anakin as a Jedi so when he redeemed himself and died it brought him back to his pure good form as a ghost
@@matt55800 luke woukdnt even recognize old anakin too since he doesnt have his burns
I love his list because he doesn’t care what the critics have said and hasn’t been influenced, he strictly has his opinion and stays by it
opinions can be changed
Strict opinions are worthless and I don’t think he’s strict at all, opinions are ever changing
Yeah. I don't think that's specific to just him.
Agreed
Steven Knight on top of that you have people that hate the sequels for no reason at all.The only reason I keep seeing is because Disney supposedly ruined the Star Wars legacy.
My personal list:
1) Episode V
2) Episode III
3) Episode I
4) Episode IV
5) Episode II
6) Episode VI
I don't consider The Sequel Trilogy canon.
12: I

8: because
7: all
6: Star
5: Wars
4: movies

2: great
1: the holiday special
arti l phantom menace is so much better than last jedi
@@zGodspeed And thats subjective, but I respect your opinion. Personally Last Jedi was different, and had a much darker tone, but I really enjoyed it.
@@RebirthOG For me personally, ROTS had a much darker tone and was the first different Star Wars Movie since the bad guys won. Last Jedi was meh for me. Didnt really add anything new. Liked Rey and Finn but the plot in the new movies were subpar. I didnt like the prequels either except for Revenge of the Sith. If they wanted to make a "new" Star Wars Movie, they would have a nonhuman protagonist. That would be good. But thats only my opinion of it and I respect yours of course as well:) PS: I can completely see that you could say that the bad guys "won" in Empire Strikes Back and Force Awakens, but it didnt have the same feeling ( for me) as the ROTS have, due to the famous Order 66.
The Force Awakens and Fall of Skywalkers are trash. Last Jedi has bad monents, but it's not as offensive as Ep7. We have three bad Star Wars movies now.
Shawn Shaw force awakens is waaaayyyyyy better than last jedi not sure what you’re on about
I didn’t see Star Wars Holiday Special on this list.
We don't speak of that in these parts
There was no Holiday Special, its just a product of the Sith; a fairy tale told to scare young Star Wars fans
STIR STIR WHISK !
Garen Kast
Or The Clone Wars or An Ewok Adventure or Ewoks: the Battle of Endor.
Garen Kast it’s not a story the Jedi would tell you
You could say that Qui-Gonn Jinn was a *Rogue One*
Mathias Odder Nicolajsen how ?
Qui-Gonn Jynn Erso
@@mjhxrdy The joke
Your Head.
Hahah
Qui-Gonn Jinn. You're a -bold- rogue one.
He's kinda right, it's always a happy ending. That's just the same. I think Star Wars should have both sides win in different ways. Like either side wins but it comes at a price like sacrafice. ROTS and RO r in my top favorites.
Revenge of the sith seems like a favorite for hardcore fans, my favourite movie as well.
1. Revenge of the Sith
2. Return of the Jedi
3. A new hope
4. Attack of the Clones
5. Empire strikes back
6. Phantom menace

@@justsomedude5727 I'd swap #4 and #8
@@algernoonpapadopoulos8610 Yeah, same here.
Rogue 1 is only good for krennic and the 2 vader scenes, the other characters are pretty insignificant and arent given the chance to show up again so you dont even really care about them
1 Return Of The Jedi
2 Empire Strikes Back
3 A New Hope
4 Revenge Of The Sith
5 Rogue One
6 Attack Of The Clones
7 The Force Awakens
8 The Last Jedi
9 The Clone Wars Film
10 The Phantom Menace ( its just boring as hell )
11 The Rise Of Skywalker
12 Solo
But what about Holiday Special ?
Still better than the Last Jedi
@@metaloutlawguts2853 I like the last jedi
My favorite part of the holiday special is when they groan and grunt and theres no subtitles .Uh its just the best . I think lumpy's character develop was amazing
& the Clone wars movie & the Ewok Movies?
Not official and not Canon
Bro I actually celebrated when he said RotS as no 1
So did I. Watched ROTS being just 9 years old and it left me in such an impression back then that it burned into my mind forever :)
I’m 9 and I watched ROTS 10 times and watched it so much cuz it was like the craziest one and the most different movie from all the movie series
garbage can ur fatter than I expected
Anakin Skywalker He will never have the high ground
@@YodaWazowski are u kid anikin lol
1) Revenge of the Sith (by far)

It’s very rare to find these kind of stuff indeed, I once saw someone put 9 over 4, then his comment section got wrecked

My top three are:

2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Return Of The Jedi

Rotj over esb?
Rotj would be two if that Leia Bikini never happened
Omg same
Hayden Christiansen is way too underrated.
Its because he is a horrible actor
He’s not a horrible actor if he was a horrible actor how do you think he keeps getting cast for lead roles in movies. He’s a better actor than everyone in this comment section.
@@jacobplourde2388 i havent seen any other of his movies, but he was terrible in Star Wars. He probably got castet in other movies because he got famous out of Star Wars and maybe improved
@@oskalbest9960 it’s also because of the cringe dialogue I thought he was good in ep 3
@@tin9666 yeah, i agree. He did improve a little bit in ep III
I love revenge of the sith, it’s a really good film and I have to admit, I would watch it more that the empire strikes back but the empire strikes back has such a special place in my heart and the flaws of revenge of the sith always get overlooked, I think the empire strikes back is insane and Luke’s plot of thinking he’s good enough to face Vader but then miserably failing is really good. The film is a cinematic classic and I think it’s easily the best and my favourite.
Merry sithmas
just some stingy with internet access your username is treason
Conor kiddell o
Not even Mark Hamill liked episode 8
He actually said he did like it, he just didn’t feel like Luke was given the proper treatment.
They turned Luke, a fan favorite character into some grouchy old man who is too afraid to fight.
@@zachbrix2170 its called Character Development, Luke wasn't always going to be the same as he was at the end of Return of the Jedi, he's lived 40 whole years since then.
How about this. The moment Rey handed Luke his Lightsaber would have been a satisfying moment. Luke throwing his lightsaber was the same as Rian Johnson throwing out what had been built up over the past 40 years
ZachBrix Luke explained why he abandoned the Jedi. That’s why he threw the lightsaber. You are taking this way too personally like Rian is actively trying to ruin Star Wars.
Besides, how would it be satisfying? It isn’t like it’s gunna be a “Woah! Can you believe that, he picked it up! What an epic moment!” At the very beginning of the movie.
Finally someone who appreciates the prequels
Lmao "finally"
After years and years of hating on them, now they're great... Too bad we didn't have this attitude in 2005.
Shawn Shaw they aren’t great tho their still complete shit you people just hate the new movies so much you think they’re good

It’s not the best
Zombie StrikerVids it is, it has my most iconic phrases
I'm glad someone else likes Revenge of the Sith. Nostalgia aside it was a really fun movie to watch.
Henry Montes it was the first Star Wars movie I’ve ever seen in theaters!
I trust you that it was good. . . . all I know is my own experience, which was seeing it in the theater, which included sleeping through about two thirds of the movie, coming in and out, and then fully waking up at the dumb vader scene at the end. . . . it is all very vague in my memory. but this is my flawed way of judging movies. . .. if I sleep through most of it, then fuck that movie. I also hate the batman movie with heath ledger for the same reason. . . . it should not be difficult for me to stay awake through a good movie. I definitely slept through most of that batman movie that everyone loves. . . . but now that im thinking of it and trying to remember the movie. . . . it is sort of baffling to me that people like it so much. I remember waking up at one point and there was a weird robot looking villain surfing on lava. . . . did I dream that? or was it really that dumb. . . . cuz I remember waking up and then consciously deciding to go back to sleep at that point, cuz the lava just felt like i'd rather be sleeping now, then playing lava monster like i'm still five years old. so I chose to sleep, at the lava scene. it seemed like a better use of my time.
Yes
@@kf8346 Gonna be honest with you, first learn how to watch a movie and then watch the movie.
I’m pretty sure ROTS is universally regarded as the best of the prequels.
Sheesh I'm happy AF that other people agree that ROTS is one of the best SW movies ever. It's my personal favorite. Episode V is a close contender but I personally favor ROTS over ROTJ undoubtedly.
