There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?
Much like GamerSushi, but with a tad more fanfare, Star Wars is back! We’ve all seen The Force Awakens (some of us multiple times) and I thought it would be fun to look back at the previous 6 movies and give out some awards. So…here they are. Be sure to tell us your picks in the comments!

Forgot:
Silliest Moment: The prequels are an obvious go-to, so I’ll be less obvious and go with “Jedi Rocks” from the SE Return of the Jedi. Sny Snoodles is the absolute worst.
Also a candidate from Jedi: when the Blu Ray release added the “Nooooo” to when Darth Vader throws the Emperor down the shaft.
Nines for life!
