A note about Star Wars
“Which is the best Star Wars movie” is a topic of much (and doubtless never-ending) debate. I'll not make any case as I believe each person should enjoy the movies for their own reasons.
I will say that for me: Empire is the best film, A New Hope is my favorite film, and Rogue One contains my favorite scene. Oh, and Solo is the one in most need of a remake, preferably staring Shia LaBeouf as Han because that'd be funny as hell.
