And back in the old days I wanted new Star Wars films like most people. I didn't realize Lucas was going to (as I see it) go out of his way to make them bad movies. In retrospect I realize I should have been happy with just 3, but who knew? After the awfulnes of the SE we should have seen the writing on the wall, but before that?

As for ROTJ bashing, that will never fail to bewilder me. ROTJ is a great movie, the equal of the other two, and it has some of the best stuff in the trilogy.

Some of the best of the trilogy and also some of the worst. I don't need to go into detail here, but if the SE's were the writing on the wall, RotJ was George walking up to the wall, checking it for writability and considering just what he might put on it.

I don't see that. There was nothing seriously wrong in ROTJ and nothing that didn't work as Star Wars. It was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. Whereas the SE was a blatant betrayal of Star Wars. There's no comparison.
