David McK (3880 KP) rated Labyrinth of Evil (Star Wars: The Dark Lord Trilogy, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
This is set between the events of 'Attack of the Clones' and 'Revenge of the Sith' - actually leading directly into that movie, with Anakin and Obi-Wan jetting off back to Coruscant - and, in many ways, seeks to bolster the reputation of one of the missed opportunities from that movie: that of General Grievious (not his face on the cover ...).
I'm also not sure where it sits alongside the Genndy Tartakovsy animation which also seeked to do exactly that, though the latter portion of the novel does seem to describesome of the actions shown in that animation (the surprise attack on Coruscant, and the capturing of Senator Palpatine) in prose form.
This is also the first of the so-called 'Dark Lord' trilogy (comprising of this, [b:Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith|35458|Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith|Matthew Woodring Stover|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388228249s/35458.jpg|476816] and [b:The Rise of Darth Vader|359848|The Rise of Darth Vader (Star Wars The Dark Lord Trilogy, #3)|James Luceno|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388209667s/359848.jpg|574260]); while I have previously read - and enjoyed - the middle of those three, I now feel like reading the series in its entirity, from start to finish.

While it is a close call, for me, the original *just* pips it to the post.
This is the movie that re-defined science fiction, with a young Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher all being launched to superstardom on its back (Ford in particular), and that is - as has oft been said - in many ways a modern fairy-tale, taking its form and structure from such.
It's also the movie that introduces the iconic Darth Vader, X-Wings and TIE fighters, with the final assault on the first Death Star one of the best action scenes in any movie I have ever seen, period.
Lee KM Pallatina (951 KP) rated Obi-Wan Kenobi in TV
Sep 30, 2022
Set 10 years after the events of Episode3, Kenobi now living under an alias and working a regular job and avoiding the force almost entirely, is slowly pulled back in when the last of the jedi (untrained) are basically wiped out and a very young Princess leia is kidnapped... And after being asked repeatedly to rescue her and saying no, Kenobi succumbs to his old ways.
From a rescue mission to a cat and mouse chase with Darth Vader... This is one epic tie-in to the saga.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983) in Movies
Oct 5, 2019 (Updated Oct 5, 2019)
Return of the Jedi is my favorite out of the original trilogy, and it's the one I've watched the most, with A New Hope coming in second. I thought it was awesome that Leia dressed up as the bounty hunter to free Han.
The scenes on Endor are my favorite, because it reminded me of the woods my grandmother lived in. This specific film inspired a lot of the stories I wrote as a kid.
Now, I do have a beef with the remastered versions: I absolutely HATE the 'NOOOOO' from Darth Vader when he goes for the Emperor, it's the worst and it makes me cringe every time I hear it.
