Not much to add to this.  I agree with many of the points danny_boy made.  I simply enjoy ROTJ for what it is.  It's a different movie with matured characters.  It's not perfect but I really enjoy many of its subtleties.  Contrary to what many believe, ESB is not perfect either.  In the end they're different movies with different directors and different challenges to be faced by characters who have changed over time.  Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are vastly different films, but I really appreciate what they are as a continuation of the same story, but facing different challenges with a different style of directing from the same director.

That being said, I also see where zombie84 is coming from.  I really like the many ideas he has put forth as quite fascinating and potentially better.  But as it is, I am quite content.

Of course I look forward to ROTJ Revisited, as I'm sure I'll never go back to the original.  I certainly prefer ANH Revisited to any official release.
