StormtroopersAreBetter said:So would you consider Jedi the worst of the OT?
Absolutely, but "worst" is a very relative term. For example, pit the my best played basketball game ever with that of Micheal Jordan's absolute worst played game ever, and he is still going to be worlds better than me.
When you are talking about the worst of the best, you still have something pretty good. ROTJ is by no means a bad film IMHO, but to me it is not quite as good as the other two. It also has the weight of wrapping up the trilogy on its shoulders, which is quite a task, so I am very willing to give its flaws a pass.
Like Gaffer said, the Jabba stuff was some poorly done story telling. But as a teenager, I always thought Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini for a logically sound plan was a fantastic trade off. The Jabba puppet was downright amazing, one of the coolest things in the trilogy in my opinion, especially if you have seen the behind the scenes stuff to understand how he works. I can understand the glowing green wifflebat thing. I was very young when that film first came out, and I know my parents would not have let me (nor should they have) see it if there were limbs flying in that scene. It was cool seeing Luke dashing around and beating people with his saber, but it is a family movie. I'd rather have the nonviolent scene that we do have, rather than have the whole scene omitted because they figured it couldn't be done reasonably and nonviolently enough to remain appropriate for its target audiences.
