...that can compare to this film. Honestly, Empire is head and shoulders above the entire franchise. It has no glaring flaws. It is a perfect cinematic experience.
Although I know really wonder where that fallen lightsaber goes and who initially finds it...and how Maz ends up with it...

It's not even up for debate it's the best film in the franchise

Sucked into the hole in the wall like Luke was.

Empire is actually my favorite film of all time. It has a great mix of action, darkness, and humor.

Near perfect movie. The Muppet kept it from perfection.

It was even better in 1980 in the movie theater. It is just a awesome movie.

A New Hope is better

Yeah I don't think anyone would argue that Empire is better in every way than the prequels

I am the outlier but I don't find it to be particularly impressive. My favorite things about Star Wars are:
1. Lightsabers
2. Lore/The universe
These things are both severely lacking in the originals. In fact, if you take away all the supposedly useless knowledge that we gained from the prequels and just look at the OT, we know pretty much jack shite about anything in the Star Wars universe. We know very little alien species, and hardly anything about the ones we do know. We know tons of planet names but nothing about them. We don't understand any of the space travel stuff, nothing about the force besides some tiny tidbits from Yoda, nothing about lightsabers, nothing about any governments or way of life... Etc... You can go on with this. Lucas tried to pack a lot of this into the prequels and it made it extremely watered down and terrible. I get that. But that's just what I like the most: IMO it's what make Star Wars unique. If you just have tons of space battles with very little force usage and almost no lightsabers (I can't believe people defend any of rhe saber fights in the OT: they all suck major balls), you might as well just watch Star Trek because other than these things, it does the rest better.
I think TESB is a fine film, and I adore Star Wars so it's up there for me, but it doesn't do what I personally like in Star Wars so it's not even among my top 3 in the series (ROTS, ROTJ, TFA).

It's kind of corny and is really just a setup for Jedi. Most people I know think it's the third best in the OT.
Star Wars is #13 in the AFI Top 100. Empire isn't even on the list, so that should give you an idea how most people in the business feel about it.
This board seems to like it, though, but the board likes some pretty stupid shite.

It's a good thing Lucas cut the Wampa attack scenes inside the rebel base on Hoth or you would be lumping it in with The Phantom Menace.
