During and post PT, I like many others discovered just how lazy and selfish Lucas was and some also speculated that ROTJ was the beginning of the end as far as quality goes.

Lazy Lucas, was Lazy.

Anyway, I was also nine when ROTJ came out. But I didn't see it until sometime in the early nineties, I think. I probably saw it twice between that and a few years ago. But my wife always had a fondness for it from her childhood, and so I've seen it multiple times in the last few years.

Since my expectations were adequately lowered by the time I finally saw it, I found it to be entertaining if flawed. But it wasn't a letdown, other than having a "what if" feeling.
