ROTJ gets a hard time because of the change in tone. It really isn't that bad. Keep in mind: it's not a prequel despite what George would like you to think! TPM works as a film on its own. In the SW universe, it does leave much to be desired. (Damn midiclhorians!) However it isn't terrible. (Except for the damn midichlorians!) AOTC is absolutely unforgivable. ROTS is tedium save for Ewan McGregor channeling Sir Alec Guinness.

Likes:

SW in theaters-the way it was meant to be seen.

The 1977 ANH

The 1980 and 97 ESB

The 1983 and 97 ROTJ (except for freakin Jedi Rocks-arrgh!)

IV, V, and VI soundtracks.

Kenner toys-especially Power of the Force 2 series action figures and vehicles.

The old Star Wars Insider

Ben's original Krayt dragon call.

The Han Solo Adventures- (Star's End/Revenge/Lost Legacy)

Shatterpoint (SW meets Apocalypse Now)

Boba Fett's real voice.

Jedi Apprentice series-best thing to come out of the prequels. I know they're for "younger readers" but I love them anyway.

Toy lightsabers and blasters.

Jedi Knight/Dark Forces Game Series.

Rogue Squadron Game Series.

Rebel Assault II.

Star Wars Demolition and Jedi Power Battles (Game that nearly made me destroy a PlayStation in frustration!)

Mara Jade

Oh, and Han before ROTJ. Especially Han in IV and before-traveling the space lanes far and wide with loyal Wookie in tow-blasting Rodians from under the table at a moments notice.

This is not to mention old Obi-Wan on some fool's idea of an idealistic crusade...
