I didn't say it was all lazy some of the work in ROTJ is still gobsmackingly good  to this day, especially considering the limitations of the time but compared to the work done on the first two (and there were a few hiccups there) ROTJ has so much that doesn't hold up to repeat viewing (and this was a film made just at the point when repeat viewing was more a done thing with VCR's becoming commonplace).

It seems to be the moment when George started saying "It'll do" instead of "How the hell are we going to get that to work?".

When it comes to doing special editions surely the canon goes out of the window.

You could if you wanted to make the top of the Death Star spin around and the dish tilt (and you can make it look satisfying) go ahead, it's the story that counts.
