Upbeat FE, gonna take some getting used to. Better than "beat up FE", I suppose. I kid.

I'm the opposite of you in this, FE. ESB technically is the greatest thing Star Wars related and it was my favorite for years, but, my recent years I leaned to ROTJ, simply because of this -- The Emperor. Its the only one of the classics he actually appears in. It does undermine Vader as a villain, but at that point you don't really want him to be one anymore. That's why when he redeems himself, its such a powerful moment. To truly grasp Vader's character you need to understand that he was seduced and used by the Darkside. When Sidious urges Luke to kill Vader and take is place, this notion comes full circle. Summarizing, the true nature of the Darkside is to go with the hot hand. Its one of the reasons I judge a story by its volatility of its villain. I'm essentially a frontrunner when it comes to villains. I'm never truly gung-ho about Star Wars, but my story code is heavily influenced by The Darkside paradigm. Its had a greater effect on my life then I knew... from an entertainment standpoint, of course...

EDIT:  How did I miss the part you said you liked ANH the best?
