Gotta pitch in on this one!
I was 9 when Jedi came out and also loved it
It is easy to forget the emotional impact of one scene in particular
That is luke forcing vader backwards after he shouts "NEVER!"
That little segment was incredibly powerful because for the best part of 2 and a half movies and 5-6 cinematic years(77'-83') Vader kicked ass.
We have probably all seen ROTJ a zillion times that that particular sequence no longer has any(or the same ) resonance that it once had.
And whilst it does not have quite the same power the same applies to the battle between the ewoks and the stormtroopers.
For the first time in 3 movies the troops were getting beat well and truly.
And that was Jedi's power.
A power that we have become desensitized to over the passage of time.
But hey that is my personal opinion!
