Well, it's Cinco de Mayo, but we're between the two days where tons of my buddies post annoying Star Wars memes all over the internet. This, of course, follows the recent passing of Peter Mayhew. All in all, it seemed like a good time to ask a few questions to fellow Pinsides
1. Top 5 Star Wars movies?
2. Least Favorite Star Wars movie?
3. Favorite character?
4. Least Favorite character?
5. Best Star Wars pin?
My answers:
Top 5:
1. ROTJ - I love the first act of the film, and the space battle at the end is utterly perfect.
2. Empire Strikes Back - This doesn't really need explanation. It's an awesome film.
3. Solo - I'm ranking this here in the context of not feeling like I was actually watching a Han Solo film (Harrison Ford is Han Solo)
4. Rogue One - I'm still surprised at the hate this film received but I think it's because people wrote of the characters, who we all knew were going to die.
5. A New Hope - I feel like this movie is a bit overrated, but its importance holds weight, obviously. It's certainly way better than the prequels.
Least Favorite:
The Force Awakens - To me it was a boring rehash of Episode IV without any risks being taken, and too many things not explained.
Favorite character:
Chewbacca (Darth Maul would be a close second)...RIP Peter.
Least favorite character:
Jar Jar Binks (is there really a different answer?)
The pinball choice:
Data East > Episode I > Stern Pro. I have yet to try a premium or LE Stern machine, but the pro definitely falls way too short of expectations to win this competition.
