If you think about it, ROTJ is closer to TPM and AOTC in terms of quality except that it has Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Alec Guinness and Darth Vader in it, thus preventing it from being hated as much as the first two films of the prequels.

I wish people would stop bashing Return of the Jedi. What was wrong with it? The Ewoks weren't that annoying, in fact, they had a big and important role in the film, and I didn't find them nearly as annoying as the jawas in Star Wars. I think it was a very good endnig to the saga, except that Boba Fett didn't exactly get the kind of send off that was proper.
