Since when did ROTJ become less highly regarded than even Episodes II or III?

This who-is-more-insightful competition lead to the present state, when it is cool thing to bash ROTJ and blur it together with the prequels. Once again, the loss of credibility for me here is that ROTJ haven't been heavily critisized by the fans for a very-very long time.

I disagree. I think a lot of people never liked it.

What I don't like is the "oh you think you're so hip and trendy bashing on the prequels and Jedi" mentality (some might even call it a trend) some people seem to have. As a kid, I loved Jedi and the prequels, but as I grew up and watched them again and again, flaws became more apparent and eventually I realized they were not as good films when compared to the first two and I just didn't like them nearly as much. I certainly hadn't come to that conclusion because of other people, considering I never had much exposure to Star Wars analysis growing up.

That doesn't mean people can't think that the prequels and Jedi are the best films in the series (even though that's totally wrong). Everyone likes different things.
