Yes. And I've seen ROTJ recently too. The problem with Jedi, IMHO, is the Jabba's palace scenes. I've always felt that they go on WAY too long.

i always thought it was long simply because han was such an interegal character and the cliffhanger to empire was based on what happened to him. so it just seems natural they would take that long to get him out in jedi since people had waited 3 years to see what happened to him

True. And the rescue of Han certainly was important, given the events of ESB. But I think the rescue of Han could have been established with less screentime. In the context of the entire saga, that part really doesn't seem AS important as, say, the confrontation of Luke, Vader, and Palpatine. I think that more time should have been spent with the Alliance or on the Death Star than at Jabba's palace.

The entire situation reminds me of the deal with TPM, where they had designed what was basically a 30 minute pod race and, after seeing it in the context of the rest of the film, it seemed like it's own mini movie and was too long and didn't fit. That is how I feel about the ROTJ Jabba scenes as well.
