I hate seeing him in the subordinate role. In Empire he had absolute power and was Killing people left and right. Then also with Jedi there's like a 45 minute tedious and boring lull starting from the escape from Jabba all the way up to the attack on the Death Star. 20 minutes with Ewoks really can't be justified. Now if they were Wookies, then that may be a different story, but whatever. Well, I really hate that fact that in Jedi, it feels like Vader is the Emperor’s bitch.

Sure, I like Return of the Jedi as much as the next Star Wars fan. The Battle of Endor is brilliant, maybe some of the best modelwork ever put to film. But Empire Strikes Back is better in every other way. As great as the special effects are in Jedi, Empire is far and away the better story. I didn’t know this was even a contest.

I have since matured into an Empire fan. I still like both better than the original, and nothing in the prequel trilogy can touch them. I seem to have grown a little indifferent to Star Wars lately (and I'm rather bummed that I have the "Special Edition" DVDs, as opposed to the original theatricals--damn you, Lucas), but thinking about these movies does bring back happy childhood memories. I need to go back to a galaxy far, far away sometime soon.... As a kid, Jedi was always my favorite. I have since matured into an Empire fan.
