I wasn't around for its release, but ROTJ was the one film I never really got attached to as a kid. I always watched ANH and ESB to death, and maybe once in a while I might watch ROTJ. In fact, when I was 8 or 9, I taped over the first 30 minutes with Superdave Osbourne, if you can believe that, so I couldn't even remember hpw it began until I bought it in 1995 for the faces release. It didn't surprise me one bit when I read reviews for the 1997 SE and they were saying how it was always critically bashed. I saw ANH 4 times in 1997, but I only saw ROTJ once, so clearly the film never did it for me. I never thought anything of it when I came on the internet and found that other people found it so-so. I think I appreciate it more as I aged, to be honest, because I've become more and more attached to the characters and its fun to just see them as an ensemble.
