Started in another thread...seems like the perfect non JK2 question.

 

which one is your favorite movie??

 

For me it's a no-brainer. Empire Strikes Back.

 

Why? I guess because it is dark, and seems the deepest of the 4 movies. I'm always intrigued with movies that don't end all happy (like usual suspects or seven), and this firmly falls in that category. Luke loses his hand, finds out his mortal enemy is also his father, and Han gets shipped off courtesy of a 'good friend'.

The duel between Luke and Vader ending in Vader announcing his 'surprise' is the high point for me for the entire original trilogy.

Hold on, I agree that ESB was very good. But you just said best acting.

 

Let me take you back to that moment shortly after luke parts with an appendage.

 

"NOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW NOOOOOOOOOOO

NNOOOOOO. THAT"S IMPOSSIBLE. I'll never join you."

 

This wasn't really a high point of acting. That's never been a strong point of Star Wars.

 

But it did have the line

 

"Who's scruffy lookin'?"

I think he meant "best acting out of all 4 SW movies".... :)

 

TPM I really enjoyed, but I don't think I'm alone in the disappointment of a young Vader going "Yipppppeeeeeeeeee!"

In my mind tho, it is more than made up for by Ewan's young Obi Wan impersonation. Truly incredible.
