Probably the "worst" of the original three

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2002)

While this was a good movie, I just don't understand how some people can claim that this is the best of the original trilogy. I would rate Star Wars and Return of the Jedi above it. As I recall, that was also the general consensus soon after they were first released. At the time, people generally thought Empire was good, but were a little disappointed. When Jedi came out, it seemed as though people were much more satisfied, similar to the early reviews of Episode II (favorable) compared to Episode I (not up to expectations).
