There are enough debates about theStar Warsuniverse to fill a galaxy far, far away.
One that has just reignited on Reddit is which of the first two films is the best.
OneRedditorsaid, “Hot take, but I love A New Hope more than Empire.”
Luke is whiney, petulant, poorly acted and poorly written.
Poor execution," whileanother simply said, “That’s not a hot take.
Liking Phantom Menace over Empire is a hot take.”
It would also be absolutely mad.
“[Return of the Jedi] is my favorite of the originals.
I do like Empire.
But, a new hope edges it a little.
Maybe because it’s the first.
But, the three together are by far the best.”
One fanthrew down a solid argument saying that all of the original trilogy are pieces to a bigger story.
“It all depends how you view it.
A New Hope is better as a single movie than Empire.
You could watch it and be satisfied with everything you have seen.
Empire expands on A New Hope and leaves you wanting more.
Without the trilogy though, its just another good movie.
So what he says is true, from a certain point of view.
