Now this is what confuses me. I absolutely regard ROTJ as my second favorite in the series. I don't hate the prequels, I just dislike them (ROTS was pretty good in my opinion). Also, I haven't seen too much of people regard the prequels more than ROTJ. I have seen it however. I think Return of The Jedi is a fantastic way to end the series because of how high the stakes are. A new Death Star, The Emperor, and the final battle at Endor (I know it might be hard to believe that the Ewoks can take out an entire fleet of Stormtroopers but I guess it could be because they had the home team advantage, i dunno). It ends the series with great respect and leaves the audience to wonder what is next for this series (besides mediocre prequels).
