But in this case, they're both The Empire Strikes Back.

My thoughts exactly.
I join you and USS Triumphant in this agreement of sidious618's assessment.
(more succinctly) +1
Yes!
And for those of us who saw it in its first theatrical release in 1977, the whole "standing in a line that stretched for blocks" was also part of the experience. I saw it with my cousin and step-cousins, and to this day I remember what an amazing movie it was. I was still fairly new to science fiction/fantasy at that time (had been a Trekfan for less than 2 years at that point), and Star Wars was the first SF movie I'd ever seen in a theatre.Thank goodness I still have my VHS set of the three original movies, so I don't have to make do with those abominable revisionist things. Han definitely shot first!
Han not only shot first but he barely flinched doing so. No jerky CGI head movements with that man.
That's why Han is arguably the original badass in the Star Wars universe, not Darth Vader.

I said FOR ME, TT, they're the same. My fave is ESB, which I and many others consider it the best.
But the favorite/best argument is moot anyway since it asks for 'favorite' right there in the thread title. Whether it's actually best or not doesn't matter.
1.Star Wars
2.Empire Strikes Back
3.Return Of The Jedi
Attack Of The Clones, Revenge Of The Sith

Then he casually stood up, stared down the room, tossed thre bartender some coin while casually apologizing for the mess and walked out the door. Seriously, who f&%$ing cares who shot first?
For me, Star Wars has been a slow decline, because I like each movie less than the one before it. Hopefully TFA reverses this trend.

This.

Obi-Wan took out two guys in that cantina literally disarming one of them. I'd say Obi-Wan was the badass of the first six movies
I had no idea my favorite/best comment would cause so much angst!
Young fool, only now, at the end do you understand! You have paid the price for your lack of vision!
It's clearly time for me to study up on Darth Plageius the Wise.
He was so powerful that he could even manipulate the message boards to create....agreement.
For awhile, I have felt that Episodes 3, 4, and 5, make a better trilogy than 4,5,6 and 1, 2,3. They flow well together. Since they are the most Empire and Jedi heavy. Plus you get the chintziest bits of Luke and Anakin's stories.
I felt ROTJ treated Luke and Vader like side characters in their own movie. Sure their arc was completed but so much going on in the film had nothing to do with them.
