In this case I agree with Awaclus. I don't even think the starwars movies qualify as 'mediocre'.
Heresy! HERESY! (The prequels are awful though)
No man, 2 > 5 > 3 > 4 > 6 > 1; the second of the prequels is the only movie worth watching.
!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
That's arguably the WORST Star Wars movie!
I remember having had this discussion in the past with Teproc, but he wasn't able to tell me what is bad about it.
It has a really good plot, not generic, untypical, even, with the good side having the larger army and the main characters not being the heroes at the end; It has cool locations; It takes itself seriously, for the most part (the chase in the beginning sucks and the comic relief in the end with C-3PO is the worst part about it); it does not require opponents to be utterly incompetent to work, or even the good side having extraordinary amounts of luck; it's not predictable; it sells the universe believably; it has no stupid over the top scenes like 3 and 4 and 6.
In other words, it's a
good movie! Unlike 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7
