Jedi is my favorite.
1. Interesting divergence into horror/sword and sorcery with the Jabba stuff
2. Luke at his absolute coolest
3. Arguably best vehicle design of the original trilogy

This isn't about honoring them so much as making the title meaningless for previous winners

Let's see what's happening in the community

Screenshot from the New Orleans subreddit; the title is Louis Armstrong Beehive Crotch/Ass, and the pic is a zoomed in view of the lower torso and upper legs of a metal statue of a man wearing a suit, head not visible, and there's a small beehive attached squarely on his dick area. Arrow to the right indicates this is pic one of two.

Pic two from the same New Orleans subreddit post; the pic is a zoomed in view of the back side of the metal statue, and there's a small beehive crammed right up in his butt area; one assumes this is connected to the beehive in the front; the bees found this nice recessed space that's protected from the weather and got to building.

In this fragile world, Sukkot reminds us that safety comes best from solidarity, from making peace with neighbors, from being good hosts & guests, from sharing food, from remembering that we are small & precarious, from worshipping what is holy. Not from building walls and making war.
