Continuing my trend of unpopular opinions, lately I've been questioning my lifelong belief that Empire is the best SW movie.
Just as "many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view", I wonder how many of us have clung to this "incontrovertible" fact just because "that's how it's always been"?
Yes, it's masterfully directed, and that rare quantity of an excellent sequel. But is our opinion coloured by the fact that it gave us long-awaited new adventures of Luke, Leia and Han in some interesting new locations? Or the memories of that stunning twist at the climax?
Strip away the nostalgia, and analyse it objectively, and does it still hold up as well? Or is ANH (or even a latter-day SW flick) superior?
For instance, the Dagobah sequence was great back in the day, but nowadays could it be considered tedious?
Of course your "point of view" will depend greatly on your age and SW history.
What say y'all?
