As for fans who think Return of the Jedi is no good... what are they a fan of? One movie of six? One movie of a trilogy? Or one and a half because the first is still O.K.? Is that Star Wars? It isn't. It's just one (and a half) movie that happens to be a part of a saga. I have high standards myself but these expectations is getting beyond ridicoulos.

I think the general idea is that SW and Empire are great, Jedi is tolerable due to its venerable status (and that it's still better than the prequels), and the prequels suck.

I think the vast majority of users here are only fans of three of the six movies, how is that any less silly than only being fans of two?

I never understand why various people say it's "trendy" to feel this or that way about Star Wars. I don't think anyone else's idea of the films has influenced my personal like/dislike of one film or another; Jedi unfortunately just isn't as good as the previous two films, just like the Prequels weren't as good as the previous three films, and I think that's a fairly objective conclusion that many people have come to on their own, independently.
