I think George Lucas has a list. George's List. Where he takes note of all the things Fans hate about Star Wars but he likes.
_Hayden Christensen, Check.
_Ewoks, Check.
_Gungans, Check.
_Random CG characters in the background, Check.
_Darth Vader screaming Nooo, Check.
Then he thinks: Im going to avenge my movies by trolling the guys that insulted them, with extreme irony. I cant do this on Star Wars or Empire unless i want people throwing me stones while walking the street, ill have to add all this to Return of the Jedi.
Dont you think its TOO coincidental that every major criticised element of the prequels, those that became internet memes and that appear every time someone is insulting the prequels, ALL of them, appear in Return of the Jedi? It was already the worst of the OT and now it is a perfect compendium of the elements fans hated about the prequels. Return of the Jedi has become George Lucas finger, and he is not just showing it, he is charging us to see it.
