STAR WARS - The greatest trilogy ever concieved

[PaleRider]

There are only three Star Wars films. The first, Released in 1977, STAR WARS, the second, EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and third, RETURN OF THE JEDI.

As far as I'm concerned, there are only three Star Wars Films. I would rather be torched by THE HOLIDAY SPECIAL rather than watch the so called EPISODE 1 and 2.

STAR WARS rocks my world like no other!

Did you just post three times to up your member's rating!? ;)

Anyhoo, everyone (should) love the original Star Wars trilogy, but I think the fact that ROTJ is a somewhat weaker entry, I'd have to say the Lord of the Rings trilogy is IMHO a better trilogy as a whole. All three films were consistently as good as each other, if not improving each time!!

Nevertheless, I *LOVE* Star Wars. Ultimate popcorn flick.

LOTR isn't really a "trilogy."

The book isn't. The films are! It's even called the "motion picture trilogy" on marketing produce! But yes yes, I know it was originally written as one book...

Lord of the Rings is the obligatory response for this subject, however return of the king got worked by Return of the Jedi.

Don't get me wrong, I love The Lord of the Rings however, I was disappointed some of Jackson's interpretations of Characters. However, once again, I send forth a royal decree crowning the original STAR WARS TRILOGY, greatest Trilogy in the kingdom of DVXUSER.

And it was made as one movie released in three parts.

SW, on the other hand, was three separate productions, stories, etc..

I know they *called* it a trilogy . . .

*laughs* of course Lord of the Rings will crop up, for instance, recently in Empire magazine's voted top 50 films of all time... the top five were taken up by all 3 LORT films and the original two SW movies. They're both the ultimate popcorn trilogies. Whichever you prefer I guess is just individual preference, but most people like both anyway.

I like my popcorn salted with spice from tatooine not middle earth.
