Not that this video should sway your vote but it is a well explained and entertaining analysis.

I wasn't aware there was even a question.

I tried to make it simple by putting examples (New Hope and Phantom Menace). Seems pretty clear to me. Anyways, I changed the title of the thread for people like who can figure it out for themselves but insist on pointing out semantics.

Every movie in the franchise is special to me in its own way. But I voted for Episodes 1-3 because they deserve more love than they get.

It is hard to pick one. I like all of them. Watching the episodes IV, V, VI now you sometimes may laugh about the gadgets they have, but imagining to go back to the early 80s these movies were very nicely done. Compare it to now with new evolution of 3D filmmaking.

Episodes II was also just in a 'new age' where the movie was completely shot in digital format, that was the first high-profile, high-budget movie

So now I will vote for Episodes IV, V, VI, just because it has a more 'wow' effect on me back then.

The second trilogy (IV, V, VI) clearly was the easiest to watch and attach to as the prequels were up against my wonderful recollections of the second trilogy. I, II, and III also suffer from ending on a down note, episode III is more like episode V from the second trilogy than episode VI. While everyone (except again my kids) knew that the first trilogy ends on a down note, that fore knowledge wasn't enough to engender the sympathy required to develop the blissful arc that IV, V, VI created.

I have voted for part IV, V and VI.
Maybe the special effects where not that amazing
if you compare them with modern times, altough for that time they where spectacular.
But story was more full of love, passion and much more fun.

I can and will pick original movies or, if you want, sequels. No fancy/extra special effects can make a film. It is story which build one!

Key to my voting for the original films: Jar-Jar Binks.
