Do we agree that this is the weakest of the original trilogy?


probably because GL directed it and the other two were directed by others. It also has a british feel to it while the two others have a more of a straight american feel to them. Who's with me?

British feel?! How's that? All the young heroes are American.

reply

One of those young heroes does attempt a British accent though😂

I thought that was kind of strange when Leia did a posh english accent when she first met tarkin then went back to American. I think Lucas told Carrie to do it then changed his mind.

reply

No, it was an accident. She talked about it on The Graham Norton Show in the UK.

I guess that makes sense. I wonder why Lucas didn't do another take of her using the american accent?

reply

It was shot in England and had mostly British film crew and venerable British actors

reply

So did Empire but he didn't say it about that.

reply

no venerable old British actors I guess

reply

It's the best "Star Wars" film of them all. So, no.

Empire Best
A New Hope
Jedi still great but least favorite
