Despite some decent set pieces, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace ultimately fails due to its dull story, weak acting, and poor writing.

While not the strongest of the original films, Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi still works as a fitting conclusion to a classic trilogy.

Building off of the first film, while also expanding the characters and world further, Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back is sci-fi perfection.

With its memorable characters, thrilling sci-fi action, and expansive universe, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope is a great start to a major series.
