I got the first trilogy on DVD as a present yesterday. I am watching 'Empire Strikes Back' right now

Empire strikes back is a wonderful movie. I remember re-watching the "imperial march"scene that happens right after General Reikenn says "We better start the evactuacion" at least a billion times. Oh, and the rest of it is just unbeliebably good.

The one question I have about the 3rd movie is the prophecy is not clarified. Is the prophecy about Anakin or Luke? Sure, only Anakin was directly born by the force, but as son of Anakin, Luke could lay some claim to it, also. I cannot remember, does the prophecy say BY the force, or OF the force?
"The prophecy, mistaken might have been." -Yoda

Was the prophecy truly about Anakin? Or was it mistaken, in that Anakin would help unbalance it further. Mace Windu was on the verge of killing Palpatine, when Anakin stopped him. So was Anakin really necessary?Was his killing of the Emperor the fulfillment of the prophecy? Or was Luke's creation of a new brand of Jedi considered the new balance? Just what was the balancing of the force?

If you watch Return of the Jedi, you would know who really kills the emperor (I will not spoil it for you) I think the prophecy was about Anikin but It would be because of his son that the prophecy is fulfilled.

Watch the rest of the series and you will see.

Yes Bouchard, but such a prophecy wasn't necessary. Anakin wasn't necessary. Darth Sidius would not have been able to stand against the combined might of the Jedi. If that was truly what was meant by balancing the Force, it would have come about anyway. This leads me to thinking, that eradicating the old Jedi Order was required in order to re-balance the Force. Reduce it to a zero-zero playing field.
Or, the balance might have been regarding the way Jedi are trained. For instance: If the balance was merely killing Sidius, why did the whole order have to be eradicated?
But if reducing it to a 0-0 playing field was considered the balance, then why isn't Luke's rebuilding of the Jedi unbalancing it again? Doesn't it seem a bit superfluous to destroy the old Order to unbalance it with a new?
Personally, I think the balance was this: Instead of training Jedi from nursery school to be all good emotions Jedi, and be distanced, unemotional; the new balance is a new Order of Jedi that are taught to use the whole spectrum of emotion when using the Force. That way, no single aspect will be made into a onesided force for Good or Evil.

So for those of you who have seen it, what was your favourite part?

Mine was Order 66 and when Vader breathes right after his mask is put on. Those parts were really eery.

Was Anakin a "Bad Seed" or was it the way he grew up (his environment) that caused him to make bad choices? Whadda ya think?

It was a combination of growing up in slavery, beeng forced to do terrible things during the clone wars (such as pull his troops out of Jabiim and leeve thousands of rebels there to the mercy of General Grievous, who isnt a nice guy - kinda like the original Gulf War), the stress he was put throogh in the final year of the war, with constantly beeng on the front lines, his frustration at not beeng able to show his love for Padme becos of Jedi rules discriminating agenst that, and his dispair at not beeng able to find a way to counteract his vision.

he never would've built that relationship with Palpatine

Not true. Anakin allways had a relationship with Palpatine, becos from the minit he herd about the Jedi bellef that Anakin was the chosen one, he started grooming him. He woodnt have asked Palpatine to teech him Sith magic thogh.

No. Bringing balance to the force actaully ment wiping out the Jedi, THEN wiping out the Sith, and allowing a fresh start.

Episode III still doesn't have the steam to overtake the 1983 "Return of the Jedi" and is likely tied or maybe a tad better than "Empire strikes back" and "A new hope". Episodes 1 and 2 are made for the disney channel. They are childish. 2 isn't quite as bad as 1. Phantom menace is by FAR the worst Starwars movie ever made!

Here is my rating, most of my friends agree.

#1: Return of the Jedi
#2: A new hope
#3: Revenge of the Sith
#4: Empire strikes back
#5: Attack of the clones
#6: Phantom menace

I dident think 2 was childish, and 1 wood be ok if jar jar had been killed that time he put his nose in the podracer. And persnally i prefer ep 3 to enny other star wars film. Or enny other film in existance for that matter. This is how i rate them:

1 - Revenge of the Sith
2 - Empire Strikes Back
3 - Attack of the Clones
4 - Return of the Jedi
5 - A New Hope
6 - Phantom Menace

argghh! I hardly agree with the ratings you guys give. . .

1. Empire SB
2. A new Hope
3. Epsidoide III
4. Episode II
5. ROTJ
6. Phantom Meance

I do agree that the phantom meance was quite horrendous. /me shudders at memory
