The Empire Strikes Back (1983)

Undoubtedly better than "Star Wars," the story, control and tone of the film are - no pun intended - worlds away from the original. Although its been as long ago that I've seen this as the first one, the idea of a half built Death Star is probably one of the nerd-coolest images in my mind. 

The film is darker than the original (much more than the "opening" chapters) and has, just a completeness about it that doesn't stack up when compared to the others. It might or might not be the best of the trilogy but its better than "Star Wars".
