It is.

Empire is the superior film, although there are some who place Star Wars in the first position because of it's place as the first installment. I understand that argument and I probably have it closer to Empire than many. There is even a small minority who prefer Jedi, despite Ewoks and other flaws in an otherwise fun film. However, we don't seriously consider those people's opinions.

Thank goodness Lucas didn't succumb to the temptation$ of making additional films in the franchise. That had the potential to be just 1 $hit sandwich after another.

Empire is the better story. Star Wars, to me, was the better overall film. I say that, in part, because George Lucas incorporated so many homages to classic samurai and western films. And it does have the benefit of being the first in the series and can stand alone by itself.

you and the bros can gang up on me all you like. Star Wars is far and away the better movie, and doesn't need the others to exist. By itself, it would make no sense. Second installments are like bridges in music. They're good but can't stand alone without the rest of the story.

"Some"
So yeah, that's checkmate, but keep parroting others contrarian pablum. You know you're in the minority.

This is truth. Take me off the list, brother.
