The empire strikes back was the perfect springboard for the final star wars movie. Seriously, it couldn't have been any more perfect. If only they had deviced a better storyline and a better character study it could have been so much more wholesome. It shouldn't have lost focus on all the main character, yet it should've put way more focus on Luke. For eg: possibly, gradually succumbing to the dark side/or questioning obi wan and feeling betrayed by his 'point of view', inner struggles etc. I find it extremely boring how luke just surrenders and turns himself over to darth vader. What an easy and convenient way to make it to the throne room and the emperor!

Fleshing out the other characters would have helped a great deal too. Now they're nothing more than props. Sacrificing han solo was also much needed.

Return of the jedi is a fun movie. I can live with that. But it should have been so much more than just a fun movie. Especially depending on esb.
