Does the duel at the end of ESB not have any tension now that Return of the Jedi is out there?

The first time I saw ESB was a much more intense sensation than the second time.

So no, for me there is no longer any tension in watching the duel in ESB but there is the remembrance of the initial tension and the appreciation of the artistry that created it.

I am sorry for your loss. The death of one's willfull suspense of disbelief is a terrible thing.
