50 Reasons why Return of the Jedi sucks

It's funny. Most of the OT fans always bitch about how prequel fans behave like retards resistent to any kind of rational argument. But when it comes to ROTJ most of the OT fans are exactly like prequel fans. Is ROTJ better than the PT? Yes, but that doesn't mean it can't suck.

Actually you find a lot of criticism here of RoTJ by the OT fans. Those of us engaging the issue here are not behaving "like retards resistent to any kind of rational argument." We do get that kind of ad hominem attack and figurative arm-crossing, however.

One could make a similar list about why ANH or ESB "sucks." At some point, the question would arise why a person is here making such lists, but that's another matter.

In my view the worst thing the PT has done is to damage the integrity of the Star Wars franchise so much that it is necessary to pick even the OT to shreds and focus on its perceived deficiencies. Should we focus on how fake the Wampa and Taun-Tauns looked? And those mynocks? My brother remarked that Yoda looked really fake to him when he watched it recently. How about 3PO's more exaggeratedly annoying role and excessive exposition as Han is being put into carbonite? How about the lack of dramatic tension when the kiss with Leia passes as if it never happened? How about the silly part where R2 falls into the swamp simply to be spit out onto land? How about how silly Luke's face looks when he's wailing about the impossibility of Vader being his father? If you deny any of this, you're just like those PT fans, btw.
