It's fine.  If 5 of your 10 favorite films are Star Wars and Home Alones that's just the way it is 

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,105]

Not quite as good as Empire Strikes Back, but it's still great. 9/10.

most of the movies I really like are just too good.....I can't help myself, I don't have a top 10, I have a top infinity lol

[TDIRunner | 2,777]

Have we really not done this one yet?  

9 for me.  One of my 3 favorite Star Wars movies.  

[Link | 2,734]

I’ve never seen it. In high school everybody was like “omg you have to” and I was like “don’t tell me what to do” and I just never got around to it after that. But one of these days I’m going to download the Harmy’s original trilogy.

Easy 10. Star Wars is number 1 in my top ten. Yes, I know Empire is technically a better movie, but I get more enjoyment from the original. I watch Jedi more then Empire, also.

I would normally give it a 10, but I docked it a point just because I dealt with those who have acted like their opinions are more important than the franchise itself. And that has toned down the fun I had in the past.

My advice is to not let other people dictate what you enjoy and how much you enjoy it.

9 for me. I like Empire better though. I still remember seeing it when it was released in the theater when I was 7 years old. My dad took me and said I didn't move or say a word during the entire movie. I still remember how blown away I was with the Cantana scene seeing the aliens for the first time and watching Han shoot Greedo. The magic from seeing that movie and getting some of the toys/action figures are pretty fond memories from my childhood.

[SpoonMan Abrams X | 697]

An alright movie, but Star Wars is so much better outside of the trilogies.

6/10 would have to say both Return of the Jedi and Empire Strikes Back are better.

[AstralSoul | 503]

My least favorite of the original 3 but still excellent. Gave it a 9 just because it's great every time I watch it.

I love the star wars universe anything. He even proposed to me in front of the millennium falcon. 

Had these done couple gets ago, it's hard to photograph the back of your own arm hhaha.

ah ha!!!!! gotcha, change mine to a 10  

[Californication | 1,490]

Of the original three I felt like Star Wars was the only one that told a complete story independent of the other movies.

I think five and six both have parts that are cooler than anything in four, but they also both rely on the other movies to tell their story. Five finishes with an amazing ending but an open question and six needs five for the beginning to work and the ewoks and rebuilt death star were whatever. 

It is tempting to pick five between hoth, yoda, cloud city, luke meeting with the emperor and fighting vader, but I think one is a better movie.

[PII | 1,898]

I think this was the 1st movie I ever saw.

Star Wars   9

Empire       10

Jedi            11

So, overall a 10 for the trilogy.

Once upon a time, my one time better half who had never seen Star Wars before came over after being tacitly introduced to it and asked me with wide eyed enthusiasm if I had ever seen Star Wars.

I nodded yes.

Then she asked me if I liked it.

Again, a succinct nod.

Then she asked me if I wanted to watch Star Wars with her.

My final response looked something like the following picture.

10 - Because it is just that awesome.

[nrslam | 477]

10 easy. Great fun all the way thru and it really changed movies for me.

[WhyNotZoidberg | 586]

10. 

When the end credits roll, I could replay the movie there and then.

 

Not even the prequels can ruin this one for me. When Leia and Luke mention the Clone Wars, my cognitive dissonance helps me stick to the lore I had imagined as a kid, where it is something much darker, grander and more mysterious than what they depicted in episodes 2-3.

[Renmauzo | 1,205]

No score.

I can't score accurately because I've never been able to make it through the film without falling asleep. Any memories I have are a mishmash of scenes from all the films, none of which I've been able to make it through. I do think Darth Vader is all kinds of cool though.

I'm glad for those that are passionate about this film and the series as a whole, it/they've just never resonated with me and I really can't put my finger on why. Sometimes my wife gives me a hard time about it (she's a huge SW fan) but it's ribbing in good fun.

[Nintegageo | 582]

10. I think the original trilogy all deserve 9-10, they are awesome.

[Gentlegamer | 174]

8/10, watch the "Despecialized Edition"

[T-Pac | 7,590]

The first one needs more lightsaber fights.

My ideal Star Wars movie is:
5% useless plotline slowly scrolling off into the galaxy background,
75% lightsaber fights, and
15% General Grievous just sort of ... being there.
