If you want to see the original Mobile suit gundam, but don't have the stomach to sit thorugh all 43 episodes, theres the MSG:Trillogy, which I've seen on BTMON-Its quite good, as it adds new early-mid 80's animation to the late 70's animation, and puts al 43 episodes in a series of 2 hour movies, which are edited quite well, and are really dramatic and realistic---I have just finished watching movie 2 from netflix, I should be getting 3 tommrow, which is supposed to be the "return of the Jedi" of the trilogy, as #2 is the darker, more serious "ESB" of the series. Gundam 3 has that big, epic ending that you would have wanted in ROTJ, complete with a big space battle (made bigger by two opposing armys with dozens of battleships and hundreds of robots along with thousands of fighters) and a sword fight
