Return of the Jedi is not a great film on the level of Star Wars or Empire, but I still think it has its own greatness on a smaller, more compromised scale. It could stand on its own in many ways, apart from the rest of trilogy, and in the trilogy its a great ending. Its not the best ending the trilogy could have had, but it functions. At the very least it should never be lumped in with the quality we got in the prequels.
