Well, Return of the Jedi (the original version; THANKS, HARMY!) is my favorite Star Wars film.

 

Those 50 reasons why ROTJ sucks feel like someone had too much time on their hands and just felt like bitching about something.

 

And such people who hate on Jedi, yet laude Star Wars and Empire as though the latter are so totally better... they never point out things like 1) why the stormtroopers don't check for droids behind locked doors; 2) how Ponda Baba's flipper isn't hairy nor fingered and shouldn't be able to shoot a gun; 3) how caves in asteroids have Earth-like gravity; 4) how Han and Leia should have expected a vacuum in the asteroid's "cave" and yet only had small oxygen masks on their lower face; among other things.

 

I like the OOT. I want to enjoy them. Sure, they should be open to criticism, but I'm not sure how whining and bitching about them, as that article does, does anything to improve the viewing experience. That is to say, I would probably never watch a Rifftrax of the OOT, because I would likely from that point on always hear their bitching at it in the back of my mind.
