TLSO said:Star Wars to me seemed like it was at its height in the '90s, man.
I'd say it was at its height in the early 80s. That was the real Star Wars time. In the 90s the EU had taken over and Lucas mutilated the originals.
because they revived the action figures
The 90s action figures were awful. Huge big muscular figures with ape-like faces. Star Wars meets King Kong.
or the originals got re-released
But they didn't. The special edition got released instead. And while it was nice to see Star wars again, it meant that our beloved films were getting replaced with cartoon Jabba and suchlike.
you didn't have to know the real names of snaggletooth or hammerhead or yakface,
As far as I'm conerned that IS their real names. The rest is just EU. They didn't have any other names back in 77-83 so they don't have other names that count.
I think the 90s were so cool for you for Star Wars because it was before the prequels screwed everything but you weren't (I'm guessing) a kid anymore and could appreciate it all on a more adult level. But the real height of Star Wars was when the original movies were current (77-83). That was the time it was all at its coolest. Even if we were just kids. Extend that to '84 or even '85 for immediate aftermath time if you like, but by '86 the height of Star Wars was over and never to return.

Sure we all realized later on that ROTJ was the weak link of the saga
No, we didn't all realize that. It isn't.
