[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9840717, member: 29398"] I've a soft spot for Phantom Menace - if nothing else it's a flowing fountain of one-line quotes - and the opening battle sequence in Revenge of the Sith is excellent, but other than that the prequels fall flat for me. So many people sing the praises of Empire Strikes Back, yet I constantly fall asleep in the middle (Dagobah) bit. I'll second [USER=57112]@Gradine[/USER] 's motion that RotJ is the best of the original three. That said, I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that Rogue One is the best of the whole bloody lot, and Force Awakens might be second-best. Solo and New Hope are also up there, and then it's real hit-or-miss after those. I haven't watched anything other than the eleven main movies but I have read a bunch of EU novels. ======= The prequels did influence my D&D games, though: Late in my previous campaign I ran three adventures in sequence: The Coldwood Menace (setting up the third in this sequence), Attack of the Bones (BBEG was a Dracolich) and Revenge of the Gith (guess who the villains were in that one!). :) I yoinked the Kamino cloning facility from Attack of the Clones for my current campaign; I already had some ideas around clones being an ongoing sub-plot and those cloning pods they had in AotC were perfect! And the sequels gave me a great character: I play a Thief these days whose backstory is very much based on Rey's scavenger backstory in TFA, only more adventuring-based (she goes into adventure sites after the real adventurers have cleaned out the danger and scavenges all the loot they miss).
