Well, I agree.

I remember going to see Jedi in Leicester square when it 1st came out. Taking the day off school (I was 8) going with my dad. I still remember to this day the guy in the Vader costume outside scaring the s**t out of me! Lol. I was transfixed by the film, it was fantastic. Jabbas palace, the biker chase, the end battle, everything. Through my teens I kinda grew out of Star Wars but rekindled my interest in my 20's. And watching the OT again through aged eyes the flaws with the films are plainly evident, especially Jedi. But despite that,I will always love the films. These trivial nitpicks I often hear about the asteroid cave scene in Empire (walking in a weightless environment and the other rubbish) are nonsensical. For me, ESB is flawless. Star Wars isn't science fiction. It's fantasy that happens to be set in space. Star Trek, for example, is science fiction.

Maybe ESB has a little better acting but that is reasonably so because the story/script offered a bit more and because twice as much time was spent on principal photography compared to either ROTJ or SW.

    ESB also spent "twice as much time" going over-budget..........

Making the OT was fraught with problems. And as for ESB going over budget, I think it's fair to say it was worth it in the end. It was a risk offcourse, but then again that's what life's all about. 

Now that we're back on the very same topic that has been discussed over and over...

IN SUMMARY: The amount of hyperbole that goes on here about ROTJ and the PT is unnecessary and not helpful. If you have seriously made the kinds of statements Darth Ender pointed out, you should rethink things.

The best aspects of Jedi are on par with the best parts in the other films.

Absolutely. Mark Hamil's performance is his best in the series and the stuff between Luke, Vader and the emperor is great.

 

Not only that, I just never had a problem with Ewoks. Their presence might seem silly, and I can concede that the battle with the stormtroopers is a bit uneven in allowing the imperial forces to be so easily overtaken by Ewoks hitting their helmets with sticks. But, it simply doesn't detract from the movie for me.

That's right. Seeing the ewoks appear didnt make me suddenly dismiss the whole film. "What the f**k are those things? And what the f**k are they doing to the stor..? Never entered my mind. They're part of it. And if you've bought into the film and the story, then you won't question it.
