Via MTV.com
The force sure is strong with this one.
We were all excited (but let’s face it, not really surprised) to see Simon Pegg featured in the behind-the-scenes footage of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” at Comic-Con. After all, the dude’s a giant nerd who LOVES “Star Wars,” and he’s got an in with director J.J. Abrams. Why wouldn’t he get a featured role in the movie somewhere?
But as a nerd, Pegg clearly has some opinions about which of the previous “Star Wars” films was the best — and while promoting his new film “Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation” he gave MTV News his definitive ranking of all six films. In under a minute.
To save those of you who don’t want to click through to the video, here is his breakdown from worst to first:
6: Attack of the Clones
5: The Phantom Menace
4: Revenge of the Sith
3: Return of the Jedi
2: A New Hope
1: The Empire Strikes Back
