No way! (Off-Topic)

During a Star Wars trivia event, my trivia team was aghast at my ranking.

When I was a kid, I liked Empire and Return more than Star Wars. Now, I don't. Not sure what changed.

I think Star Wars is a perfect film. I don't think a single thing could be added to make it better. I also think Raiders of the Lost Ark is a perfect movie, while we're on Lucasfilm perfect movies.

I watched Empire again this year and it's exactly what I remember from last time I watched it, last year, for the trivia event. Boring. It's a great movie, but it's boring. Return of the Jedi, in my opinion, is only a good movie. The Ewoks are dumb and half the movie is just the last half of Star Wars intercut with cool lightsabers. Again, good, but not great.

The Phantom Menace is also a good movie, and if I see it on TV, you bet your ass I'm watching the podracing and the Darth Maul fight, which is, in my opinion, one of the best fights I've ever seen. I really liked Phantom Menace. It also had dumb stuff in it which brings it down, but the highs really outweigh the lows to me in that movie.
