   "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" is considered to be   
   the best movie in the Saga by most people, including the majority of   
   Star Wars fans.   
      
   "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" (aka the original "Star Wars"   
   movie) is often second in the lists, but not always.   
      
   Although the original movie was ground-breaking in many ways and   
   attention-grabbing, it is rather slow (the Vader Obi-Wan lightsabre   
   battle for example). The Episode V movie has more pace, more story, and   
   more action. A lot of people put it down to George Lucas not being a   
   good director, or at least not a good explainer of what he wants (he's   
   also often not considered a great writer - some of the lines in the   
   Saga movies are attrocious).
