Well, I really enjoy the film and have never had any big issues with it at all. I don't believe I'm lying to myself in that; it's a shame that you don't seem to be able to simply accept it and instead seem to feel the need to grandstand. It's only a difference of opinion; I'm not hurting anyone by liking the movie.

Yeah, that was a bit much of me to say really, I cannot dictate what you feel about it, sorry about that. Jedi simply never worked for me and I was still a naive kid back then and it was never about the usual complaints of ewoks being in it either. But for every year that went by the problems I had with it had mushroomed until I found out that I am better of ending on a good note rather than a sour note whenever I get the urge to watch the SW-films, that's why I don't find any problem to stop watching with ESB.

I'm something else entirely. I know and acknowledge that ROTJ is objectively worse than SW and TESB, but it's still my favorite regardless.

I agree with all of your points and I therefore know that my favorite of the three is the worst of the three, but still... nostalgia is a drug... and I love me some Yub Nub. :-)

Lapti Nek!

Yeah, yet another combination. I think we all can relate to that, some films we have a really strong nostalgic attachment to and we simply like them because of that. And hate is too strong of a word for it, maybe back in those days I hated it somewhat because it disappointed me so much, SW meant so much to me back then. But this is a 30 year old goddamn movie, if I hadn't gotten over it by now I would be a really pathetic guy. I actually rewatched it not that long ago when doing some sub work and I found some aspects of it enjoyable. Maybe I'm beginning to soften up to it. ;)
