I'll be skipping this one, as I didn't care for A New Hope, so have not watched any other Star Wars films.
So anyway, I understand these are widely considered far superior to the other films in the series, so they get a poll. Happy voting / commenting.

What are you taking about? TESB is considered the best Star Wars movie by far and even one of the best films ever made (sci-fi at least). It is considered to be part of the holly trinity of flawless films (Godfather I and Citizen Kane the other two).
OK, for fun, I know. But imo there is no comparison. I mean, I love New Hope but they are not even comparable.

A New Hope is obviously iconic and it's truly a wonder to watch it and realize just how iconic it has become.
But The Empire Strikes Back is a little bit better as a movie. Lucas's direction in A New Hope is occasionally sort of clumsy, a little stiff, a little childish. Some of it just adds to its charm but Kershner's hand is more confident and steady, his grasp on the overall movie seems firmer (which is understandable seeing how Lucas was trying things out while Kershner was working with an already established world). It just works a tad better as a piece of storytelling.

But, you know, that's what the fans use to say. |

Happened I saw this movie earlier than I posted. So fuckin' what? Is it a crime? You gonna judge me for it? You also gonna check all of my posts to reveal the truth? You got nothing better to do, right? If I'm a bullshitter or not, some people in here know it from the imdb fora. If you don't like me, you can always ignore me. |

So back to the actual topic... I prefer Empire because it's darker, Hoth is fucking epic, we get to meet Yoda and Ghost Obi-Wan, that slimeball Lando is introduced, and the bad guys actually win in the end! It's everything that TLJ wanted to be, but failed at.

One is one of the best entries in its franchise. The other one of the greatest movies ever made (Empire).
