Well stand by your opinion then, I doubt you can make any solid case for it.

I was never trying to convince you or anyone else to change their minds. That was never my intention. I merely expressed my opinions, as they are.

Is that what you do? Try to make people 'prove' beyond all doubt that their subjective opinion is right or wrong? Why not debate which is better, chocolate or vanilla ice cream?

Okay, well he does do that. But I happen to agree with him here.

There is a legitimate criticism that you claim RoTJ is worse than 5 other movies...without contrasting them with those 5 movies. Instead you express your opinion about how RoTJ could have been better. You're entitled to think whatever you want (of course), but there is a big gap between what you assert and the reasons for it. To say vanilla ice cream is the worst flavor because it doesn't have chocolate chips in it signifies that you like chocolate chips, not that vanilla is so terrible.

Conceptually and in execution, the PT was a mess. I also pointed out how similar "flaws" you identify exist in other SW movies. RoTJ was fun, made sense, had a lot of great effects, had great emotional scenes (Yoda's death, duel with Vader), and decent to good acting.
