Awesome art! Thanks for the opportunity
Empire is truly a great film, but the original Star Wars is my favorite. No it’s Empire.. No, it’s Star Wars 😉
I’m in the minority. I know the popular answer is ESB, but I favor Ep. IV b/c it’s the only film that functions as a standalone story…that & it was the 1st one I ever saw, so it has a sentimental impact as well!
You pretty much gave my exact reasons for preferring IV. Of all the Star Wars films, it’s the one that’s the most pure in it’s escapism (not that the other’s are bad more adding emotional layers).
1. Oo, A nice new place! Wonder what’s inside!
2. …
3. *lights the match* Nope…
Despite it’s shortcomings at times, Return of the Jedi has always been my favorite due to its final act, the attack on the Death Star on the ground and in the air, and my personal favorite part, the duel between Luke and Vader at the end, the pure emotion in that scene, combined with masterful music makes it my favorite part of the entire saga. Also, these prints are gorgeous.
My favorite OT movie is Empire Strikes Back!
From the time my cousin first introduced me to Star Wars at the tender age of six, Empire Strikes Back has always been my favorite
The Empire Strikes Back. And these posters are gorgeous!
I dont see the question.. but if it was “favorite movie” then Force Awakens (followed by Revenge Of The Sith)
Esb
The Empire Strikes back!
Return of the Jedi
ESB…there were no character introductions – the plot just jumped straight in with character development.
It’d be a shit film if you hadn’t seen A New Hope then.
Jedi is by far my favorite. The completion of the hero’s journey and the redemption of Vader, brought about by the son. Classic tale of father and son. Plus, Luke is a badass at Jabba’s and the sailbarge.
ROTJ
The Empire Strikes back.
Empire Strikes Back
Empire is my favorite, but that ANH hope poster is dope.
The original aka “A new hope” for me. It introduced everything that’s good in Star Wars.
A New Hope. Because it was the original. Influenced by Joseph Campbell, Akira Kurosawa and Flash Gordon. It introduced us to characters who are very relatable and now considered classic. It also had of the most memorable movie villains ever. And it inspired countless other filmmakers worldwide. It is the reason why we have The Force Awakens and more stories coming.
My favorite is Empire Strikes Back, which I know is a cliche answer but one of the reasons why it’s my favorite is because it was such a darker tone compared to the original and as a kid, that was something new to me. I also love how we got to see more of Darth Vader and what he’s capable of as well as the twist reveal that blew me away when I first saw it and it has stuck with me since then.
Empire Strikes Back
Empire of course!
Star Wars, the original. Nothing can compare to the atmosphere of that movie.
Oh man, those are gorgeous!
The Empire Strikes Back
favorite would have to be Empire
Empire is my favourite
Empire too! Great compo!
Empire. The Star Wars benchmark. Best story, script, and sets. Still stands up very well to this day.
Empire, but it’s really hard to choose.
Empire the best movie but my favorite is ROTJ. The Space Battle above the forest moon of Endor is the best in the entire saga. Plus the moment of the son redeeming the father, just amazing.
STAR WARS. Where it all began.
Empire
Empire Strikes Back
Empire Strikes Back
Empire Strikes Back
All three (plus the prequels, even though the question’s not asking for it) -Frolin O.
These are amazing… Thank you so much for letting us see these, SWNN!!! I’m buying a set right now!
Star Wars, Nothing but Star Wars!
Give me those Star Wars!…Don’t let them end!
The Empire Trikes Back, definitely. The emotion, depth, and story are unmatched by nearly any movie ever.
I agree, I love Empire Trikes Back myself. The scene where Luke’s tricycle hits Vader’s is just perfect.
A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back – 1980 version
I love Empire, but there’s something about Return of the Jedi that has always struck close to the heart. I don’t know, maybe it’s the Ewoks, but most likely it’s the Luke, Vader and Emperor showdown. No… it’s the Ewoks.
Return of the Jedi!
Empire Strikes Back. Hands down, no contest.
It has to be A New Hope. As much as I love our heroes in peril (ESB), there’s just something ultimately satisfying on how that movie’s ending was.
The Empire Strikes Back
ESB is by far my favorite, isn’t it everyones?
I gotta say, Episode V, The Empire Strikes back is my favorite of the original trilogy films. Dark, gritty, and one of the greatest plot twists in cinematic history gives it the edge for me. All of the OT films are so good though its hard to choose, but its gotta be Empire!
As a kid: Return of the Jedi. Now: Empire strikes back
Empire – its the movie we refer to when we measure today’s franchise sequels.
“Is this sequel going to be the Empire Strikes Back of this franchise?”
Empire, of course!
The Empire Strikes Back
I’d have to say Return of the Jedi although Empire Strikes Back is a very close second.
Empire
IV!
V for sure, then VI, then IV
Episode V for sure
V!!!!!!
The Empire Strikes Back

Which one?
The Empire Strikes Back, with just enough over A New Hope
If you would have asked me which of the Original Three was my favorite a year or two ago, I would have said Empire. But, even with the undeniably incredible quality with which Empire was crafted, the use of the greatest plot twist ever devised, and the introduction of both the wise and resonant Yoda, and the expertly cast and deliciously evil Emperor, only the Original Star Wars made that all possible.
The perfectly titled A New Hope was, both within the frame of its canon and outside of it, exactly that. It transformed the public consciousness, forever changing popular culture and even the way movies were made, and immediately made movies both genuinely fun, and deeply meaningful, again. The fantasy tone, the Hero’s Journey, the use of universal character archetypes, and the positive, hopeful message of the inevitability of good triumphing over evil, worked together to build a film that meant something to everyone that saw it, and stands strong even today.
It has a beginning, a middle, and an end, and works better than most other movies do as a stand-alone film, even if it is now part of a far greater story. And that’s part of the appeal: anybody, no matter who they are or where they came from, has the ability to do great things, and has the power to defeat the evil in their life and build a better world. All they have to do is answer that Hero’s Call, and have faith in the unseen forces of good at work in the world.
The Empire Strikes Back
I know most people like TESB, but I’m a fan of ROTJ more than the other two
Empire Strikes Back!
ESB
Uhh Empire lol
The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Back
My fav original changes based on my mood. Sometimes it’s ESB. Other times it’s Jedi. Or A New Hope. But right now it’s Jedi 😉
1.TFA
2.Jedi
3.ESB
4.ANH
5.Podracing
6.That Opera scene about Plagueis
Empire!!!
Empire by far!
Return of the Jedi is my favorite!
when i was younger, Jedi was my favorite. Then it really depended on my mood… but as i have gotten older.. Empire is just awesome. I love a lot of the musical score during Cloud City segments.. very hunting. And those matte paintings…… too good.
A New Hope! First is best!
I love ANH, but TESB is definitely my favourite!
Empire is by far my favorite Star Wars movie. It feels like the most well made of all the films and has it’s own unique style.
I love all of them, and everytime I rewatch one of them I decide that’s my favourite. But I gotta say I think Empire is my favourite.
In spite of the ewoks, Return of the Jedi is my favorite. I know Empire is the better movie, its darker and more critically acclaimed. But Vader’s redemption, Luke finding peace and the celebrational end theme just brought tears of joy into my eyes…
A new hope, I’ll never forget when I saw it for the first time in the early 80’s, I was maybe 6 or seven years old.
The original New Hope where Han shot first.
A New Hope! But only just…
A New Hope fore sure! Everytime I see a movie I compare it to ANH, no movie stand any chance at all! MTFBWY(can´t wait for Rouge One!)
Empire for life!!
My favorite is Empire! 😉
first ones the best poster ……, the other two are …. well ……. empire is exactly the image youd expect them to use and jedi looks a bit fan artish ,
It has to be Empire Strikes Back, one of the most perfect movies ever made!
The movie theater I somethings go to has an original Star Wars poster. The thing was 8 feet long. My dream
Is to get one of those.
Empire Strikes Back.
Empire Strikes Back, A New Hope got everything started in amazing fashion, but Empire took all of those ideas and elevated them to an even greater level, in the process creating not just the best Star Wars film, but one of the greatest films of all time period.
The Empire Strikes Back. Let’s be honest with ourselves: while A New Hope (aka just “Star Wars”) was revolutionary and Return of the Jedi brought an unreal conclusion to the Original Trilogy, it is the unparalleled standard of the Kershner-collaborated masterpiece by which fans rate all of the 7+ films. It is also worth noting that the iconic “I am your father” is relevant to the Sequel Trilogy via Luke’s lightsaber, but, “I’m afraid that’s a story for another time.”
It’s gotta be The Empire Strikes Back
Empire strikes back – what else?
Jedi. Not saying it was the “best” film of the three…but Episode VI carries a ton of nostalgia for me.
Empire Strikes Back without a doubt.
Empire is the best!
No doubt, Empire is my favorite from the OT. Somehow, when I first watched them as a child (on VHS) I ended up watching Empire first, so it has quite a special place in my heart.
Empire Strikes Back no DOUBT!
Also, these posters are absolutely stunning. I really want them!
My favorite original trilogy movie is Return Of The Jedi.
Empire. Cliched answer but it’s what elevated the series from a popcorn flick to a multipart saga and has the best……well, Everything. Closest we’ll ever see to perfection in a Star Wars film. Fandom aside, It really is the best sequel ever made as well.
Empire Strikes Back will always be my favourite, but it’s a close call with A New Hope.
Virtual tie between ESB and ANH.
Empire Strikes Back
An New Hope, just because I watched it so many times as a kid. It made me fall in love with the whole series.
the empires strikes back!
Empire
I have a soft spot for RotJ. 🙂
The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Back! My favorite film of all time.
The Empire Strikes Back!!
I love how the posters flow together.
Luke > Enter Death Star > Vader > Luke Exits the Death Star with Vader’s remains.
Wow, that really encapsulates the entire Skywalker saga in 3 images. :O
