Movies Is Return of the Jedi a better film than A New Hope?

[Takes Two To Tango]

We all know Empire Strikes Back is the Masterpiece of all the Star Wars films.

But what do you think of Return of the Jedi is it up there, even better than the A New Hope?

I just recently watched this with my nephew and we both agreed ROTJ is better A New Hope.

Not by much, but nevertheless it is the superior movie.

The battle sequences, especially the space one is just incredible.

The sequences with the emperor is riveting.

The only thing that was off about ROTJ is Ewoks, but I get them. They are like vietnamese soldiers who find a way to win a war they probably shouldn't have one.

Oh yeah the fight sequence with Luke at Tatooine was badass, he took on everyone.

But anyways I'd give it a 9/10. Just short of a masterpiece.

New hope > empire

No. ROTJ is subpar to ANH and Empire. But lightyears better than the Disney trash.

All of them the original versions. Not the George Lucas fuckery versions.

 

[NoSmilez]

I don't know about the incest reveal.

 

[Zer]

It's a tight call but I think the incest reveal gives ROTJ an edge

 

[HUGHPHUG]

New hope > empire

ROTJ > both

You must admit, not every change Lucas did was bad.

Leia metal bikini > Leia cinnamon buns

 

[SmoothPies]

Both great movie. I lean more towards ANH for the worldbuilding and the singular quest/plot line that the story follows

 

[Daverisimo]

RotJ is easily the worst film of the original trilogy. Just because of the Ewoks. I wanna punch an Ewok so bad.

New hope > empire

Yeah, Empire used to be my favorite of the three, but after finishing Andor and rewatching Rogue One, ANH hits so much harder now. Especially considering the last act of Andor, R1, and ANH all probably take place in less than a month

Whwrw can you watch them? I have never been able to find the originals anywhere for like 20 years. I had the originals on VHS but got tossed in a move.

 

[Kevster]

Nah, the space Care Bears really are that bad, if Disney introduced them people would have had an aneurysm.

 

[I Am Legion]

Not for me. Some amazing set pieces and scenes, but not as good as New Hope.

 

[Streeter]

ROTJ is more fun n shows more but ANH is the better movie

 

[HereticBD]

It's silly in parts, but more entertaining. I always thought ANH was boring as fuck.

 

[Mock Artwork]

I’m really on the fence. The more Star Wars I watch the less I like it.

I may be a weird one, here, but I enjoyed the prequels more than the original trilogy.

 

[Losfer Words]

The theatrical release of new hope is the goat Star wars film imo.
