I'm gonna have to say Attack of the Clones. Again, the romance, it was good for the last hour, but they got the story moving a little too slowly I think. They did dwell too much on Annie and Padme. But, awesome Yoda fight and nice to see the Clones in action. Phantom Menace may have been a little bit of a disappointment, I certainly hope that Episode VII will be better than that. Jar Jar was over emphasized, but Darth Maul (AWESOME!!!!). The way I heard it is that, if you were old enough to remember the Original Trilogy coming out then you didn't like Phantom Menace, but if you weren't then it was fine.

I can't see why this quiz needs more than 2 options? It's a straight shootout between Episode 1 and 2, surely?

Yeah, Darth Maul was awesome too. He'd singlehandedly make TPM a great movie if he was handled better.

I even had issues with the Yoda duel. At the time I thought Yoda flipping around like that was so ridiculous. I always thought a force- only battle was more his style.

Funny I was going to vote for RotJ because in many respects it was the original let down for me as an 11th grader. However the mannequin like performances of Ani and Ami in AotC were the clincher. Simply awful and very nearly unwatchable.

Simply awful and very nearly unwatchable. Things clearly took a wrong turn in Jedi and never returned to the pinnacle films. That being said there are redeeming qualities in each of those films (6,1,2&3). There are some fantastic scenes and/or characters that we got in each of them. Revenge of the Sith to me is kind of ho hum; it lacks the iconic moments of other films but thankfully avoids the silliness or painful parts that drag down RotJ, TPM and AotC. For me (as has been covered time and again here) the very worst part of the entire saga are the love scenes between Anikan and Padme. The dialogue and acting are horrid (and because I think Natalie Portman is solid I'm going to lay the blame on Lucas). Thankfully Harrison Ford had the wherewithal to ad-lib the "I know" after Leia tells Han she loves him as he is being lowered into the carbon chamber. Things like that helped to make the first couple films so superior.

As a single movie, AotC. Terrible dialogue with clunky delivery clinches it for me. In terms of the Star Wars saga, though, Phantom Menace can be left out with very little lost to the overall story. Finding Anakin and Palpatine becoming Supreme Chancellor are the only important bits of the entire movie and they're not exactly vital to Vader's backstory. That and it sets the timeline way off, especially for Obi-Wan. Living on Tatooine for 19 years apparently makes him age at double speed.

Ouch poor Alec Guiness...the guy was only playing a few years younger than his actual age. Alec was in his early 60s, Obi-Wan is supposed to be in his very late 50s. Also not sure how it sets the Timeline off, Luke is still only 19 which implies that Vader was a good guy 19 years before a New Hope

I notice there was no option for a) Clone Wars and b) Episode VII. Personally I'd say Episode VII because I haven't seen it yet.

^ I don't really count the clone wars as it was really just an hour and a half special episode of the show.

The only way it throws off the timeline is because you think you're watching 8-year old Anakin and 17-year old Padme, which makes Episode II even more awkward than its dialogue. Then you find out Anakin was supposed to be 10 and Padme 14 in Episode I.
