Having starred in Star Trek and Mission Impossible, Simon Pegg's got plenty of nerd cred - with more on the way thanks to a small part in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
During an MTV interview, Pegg proved his cred by ranking the classic films from best toworst in under a minute - with the three prequels unsurprisingly coming in last.
"I hate the prequels," he says, declaring Attack of the Clones the worst of the lot, "because we all thought it was better than the Phantom Menace and it wasn't".
He went on to rank the three original films - somewhat controversially relegating the original film, Star Wars: A New Hope to the No. 2 spot, with the darker Empire Strikes Back coming out on top.
1. The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 2. Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) 3. Return of the Jedi (1983) 4. Revenge of the Sith (2005) 5. The Phantom Menace (1999) 6. Attack of the Clones (2002)
