Supposedly the new Star Wars movie, revenge of the lisp or whatever, is the best of the three prequels. Because it's a prequel we know what happens: bad guys win, end of the Republic, whiny teenager becomes Darth Vader, Kenobi retires to a ranch in Sedona previously run by Don Imus.
The previous "best" movie was The Empire Strikes Back. Bad guys won, ice planet conquered, cloud city conquered, Han Solo made into object d'art found on public television auction, Vader takes DNA test to settle paternity suit.
Notice something? The "best" movies are when the bad guys win! I've been watching the movies all wrong. Let's face it, who is most likely to whack Jar Jar Binks? The Dark Side. Who is most likely to take that whiny teenager and turn him into a "lean, mean, fighting machine." The Dark Side. Who has vowed to fight the influence of Sesame Street by defeating Yoda? The Dark Side.
If George Lucas decides he needs another billion dollars and makes movies 7, 8 and 9, who should we root for? The Dark Side!
