I don’t know how a person can be considered any kind of Original Trilogy fan if that person outright hates the concluding chapter and consequently finds the trilogy as a whole to be a flop, but whatever.

I don’t how someone could remotely call the oot a flop.

A flop for me.

So you actually think oot is a flop?

Aside from Luke’s characterization and the production values, I hate everything about ROTJ. I hate the second Death Star; I hate Jabba’s palace being on Tatooine; I hate the nonsensical rescue plan Luke & co. hatch for rescuing Han; I hate the “Leia Skywalker” retcon; I hate the Ewoks; I hate Palpatine’s depiction; I hate the notion that if Luke were to give in to the dark side, he would abandon all his ideals & morals and instantly join Palpatine; and I hate the notion that a mass murderer could go to Jedi Heaven just by loving his own flesh & blood really, really hard.

SW & TESB remain great movies, but ROTJ is rotten to the core. It fails as a satisfactory conclusion, and as such the OOT fails as a whole.
