No shit, "Clerks" gave birth to the revisionist view of the Star Wars trilogy that's really fucking annoying.

Before "Clerks" came out, it was universally accepted that ROTJ was the best. Then after that Dante/Randall conversation in the movie, all of a sudden it was cool to say it was "Empire."

When people say "Empire" is the best, I like to quiz them as to why. About 99% of the time they say almost word for word, "It ends on such a down note, man. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings." As soon as they say that, they lose the argument. If you're gonna say you that you think "Empire" is the best, at least mention Yoda or something.
