I feel like you’re intentionally twisting things to make your interpretation work.
I’m beginning to agree.
Why would I do that? This was my first impression in 1983 when the film came out, not some meme that I’ve been captivated by. I wanted to love this film! TESB is still my favourite movie of all time. Why would I want ROTJ to suck? If anything I’d love to be convinced otherwise.
Well, you might want to watch the movie again. It seems like you haven’t watched it in a long time, and as a result your perception of it might be warped. In my opinion, it’s kind of uneven, but it’s still a great end to the trilogy. I highly recommend watching it again.
Actually I know the thing off by heart, I’m pretty sure I’ve watched it more times than any sane person!
That said, I do plan to watch it with yours, Ray’s, and Canofhumdinger’s etc etc points in mind. I’m not hostile about this at all (internet tone can be hard to read) and like I said to Ray, I genuinely wanted to love this movie. So yeah, maybe I’ll pick something up during 47000th viewing!
