....sucked as an empire.
The Brits were pretty good. But for sheer scale of destruction/geographic size of empire, you can't beat the Mongols.

So many choices, I'd go with Alexander the Great's Empire or the Persian Empire. (Almost the same, but not quite(geographicaly of course)). Though Roman is right up there too.

No denying that, though the graphics were much better in the last three (even though the originals had a tiny budget), but were oh so lagging in good acting.

Really none of the movies had the greatest acting, it was just so much worse in the new ones.

Okay, enough with being off topic (kind of), another favorite would be the Han.

Yeah, with the exception of Luke everyone else in that movie was either a known actor or would become a good actor. Harrison Ford-Indiana Jones, the Fugitive; Voice of Darth Vader (whose name escapes me)-Field of Dreams; etc.
